Share availability with remote and distributed teams
Remote teams schedule across Slack, email, and project tools. Sometimes you need a full poll; sometimes you just need one teammate's open windows in the thread.
ShareAvailability is for that second case: you publish your free times; they answer; someone sends the invite.
Example Slack thread reply
Example only — sample times, not live calendar data.
I can do the retrospective sync — Here's my upcoming availability (UTC): Tue (9/30): 14:00-16:00 Wed (10/1): 13:00-15:00, 17:00-18:00 Thu (10/2): 14:00-17:00 prefer a 25-min slot

Practical tips
- 1
Standardize on one timezone in the thread
Pick UTC or the HQ zone and have everyone paste in that zone when comparing.
- 2
Use polls when more than three people
Hand-merging four availability lists is painful — switch to Doodle or When2Meet for larger groups.
- 3
Protect maker schedules
Block focus time so standup spillover does not get offered as free.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a team scheduling product?
No. It helps individuals share their own availability. There is no shared team workspace.
Slack workflow vs ShareAvailability?
Slack reminders and workflows can nudge people; they do not read Google Calendar free/busy for you. This tool fills that gap.
Can I share a link to my live availability?
ShareAvailability does not host a live booking page. You paste a snapshot of free times.
Ready for your real calendar?
Generate pasteable availability for remote teams from Google Calendar in about ten seconds.
