Why We Need Access: UpdateAI requires access to your work email calendar to identify which meetings to record. Without this access, UpdateAI cannot function.
Supported Calendars:
Google Workspace
Microsoft Teams
Onboarding Requirement: During onboarding, you must connect one of these calendars (only one is permissible) through the 'Integrations' tab in your account settings. This connection can be modified at any time.
How to Connect Your Google Calendar to UpdateAI
Choose the Right Account: Ensure you select your Google work account. UpdateAI is incompatible with personal accounts.
Selecting a Calendar: UpdateAI will automatically sync to only your default Google calendar. Typically this is the one labeled with your name.
Privacy Assurance: UpdateAI only accesses events from your default calendar. Despite Google's permissions allowing access to other calendars, we strictly refrain from monitoring or using any information from them. Your privacy is paramount.
Google's Permissions Framework: The image above displays the permissions required by Google. Due to Google's limitations, broader permissions (like editing, sharing, or deleting events) are requested. However, UpdateAI’s use is restricted solely to viewing events from the linked calendar.
How to Connect Your Microsoft Teams Calendar to UpdateAI
To enable seamless calendar integration, UpdateAI requires specific permissions from your Microsoft Teams account:
Sign in and Read User Profile: This allows UpdateAI to authenticate your account.
Maintain Access to Data: Ensures sustained access to the data you’ve permitted.
Read User Calendars: Essential for identifying meetings that need recaps.
Privacy Assurance: Similar to our Google Calendar integration, UpdateAI guarantees that it will neither edit, share, nor delete any calendar events. Your calendar data is used exclusively for identifying relevant meetings for recaps. We ensure the scope of access is minimally intrusive.
The exact scopes that we require are shown highlighted here:
Integration Process:
Standard Procedure: In most cases, you can approve UpdateAI's access directly through the dialogue box (see example below).
For Certain Organizations: You may require approval from your IT admin (illustration below).
Inquiries and Security Concerns: For any queries or concerns regarding our calendar integrations, reach out to us at security@update.ai. We prioritize your data privacy and security. Visit our Security Page for detailed information on our privacy practices.
