Integration between opentalk & calendar

Is there a way to embed opentalk meeting links in calendar invites or generate calendar events and invites when setting up an opentalk meeting without switching apps?

The only option I've found so far is to manually copy the video meeting links over into calendar, but this is unworkably clunky, as I'm scheduling video meetings all day.


The ability to do this more smoothly is such a standard feature of the programs I've used in the past that I'm assuming I just haven't figured it out yet, but I can't seem to find the option.

We're looking into Mailbox.org as an alternative to the Gmail suite. But as many meetings are booked per day and that is done automatically I see no integration similiar to what Google Calendar does.

I would expect at least OpenTalk to be an option to meetings you're creating. It would of course be neat with the Zoom-integration too.

This function not being in place makes it a hard sell.

I see the option to do this but it fails every time I try to add an Open-Talk link to my events.

Hi,

I’m guessing that you’re being hit by a bug associated with this.

Could you try first opening OpenTalk once? Just loading the dashboard is fine.

Afterwards, you should be able to create links directly from the calendar.


We do have a bug ticket open for this and we’re on it :)


Best,

Hendrik

Hello Hendrik,

Just stumbled upon this issue, and yes, you need first to access OpenTalk (just open the OpenTalk area). Then, you can create an invite with OpenTalk as the chosen conference tool. Thanks for the workaround!

Looking forward to the fix as well! :)

So weird, I had opened OpenTalk before this and had even created meetings in there. It still didn't work. So I just opened it again and then went straight back to calendar and it worked this time! I guess it just needed a little reminder :) Thanks Hendrik!
