Event feature

This feature is an add‑on. It is only available if it is included in the feature set of your employee app.

With the Events feature in Flip, you can use a calendar to plan your schedule. You can create single or group events for yourselves and invite your entire workforce to an event.

How can I create an event?

  1. To create an event or appointment, select + New event.
  2. Define the title, a short description, the date and time, and the duration of the event.
  3. Under Invite people, you can select users of the employee app. If you want to assign an event to a channel, you will find a list of all channels in your employee app under Invite channel. Note that assigning an event to a channel is restricted to the channel administrators of the respective channel.
  4. Use the image icon and the paperclip to add images or required documents to the event.
  5. Once all information and fields are filled in, you can publish the event by clicking Create.

To edit the event or add more participants, select the already created event and click the pencil icon.

With the RSVP feature (short for the French Répondez s'il vous plaît — “Please respond”), you can immediately see who is attending, who is declining, and who has not yet responded. This provides an easy way to respond for participants and gives organizers an up‑to‑date and reliable overview of how many people are actually expected.

 

Sync your calendar with external calendars (iCal) or download events (ICS)

The option to sync or download events can be enabled or disabled by administrators in the Admin Console under "Settings" —> "General".

You can sync your personal Flip calendar with external calendars. This lets you display Flip events in Outlook, Google Calendar, or other calendar tools. We only support exporting events to external calendars. Importing events from external calendars into Flip is not possible.

To automatically sync events with an external calendar:

  1. In the calendar, click the More button in the top right.
  2. Select Sync with another calendar.
  3. Copy your personal calendar link.
  4. Add this link as an iCal calendar in Outlook, Google or Apple Calendar.
  5. Your events will now be automatically synced from Flip to the external calendar.

In the Export tab, you can download all your Flip events once.
