Capable Calendars for Confluence: Seamlessly Sync Your Schedule with Your Workspace
Launching today, Capable Calendars for Confluence makes it easier than ever to connect your project timelines and team schedules!
Your team is already using Confluence — the go-to hub for all your key project documentation, from marketing campaigns and web content to internal handbooks and client-facing resources.
But here’s the catch: while your plans live in Confluence, the important dates guiding them are scattered across tools like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and individual planners. This fragmentation leads to misalignment.
Every initiative has start dates, key deliverables, and deadlines. Meanwhile, your colleagues manage PTOs, offsite workdays, and availability. Without one unified view, it’s easy for things to slip through the cracks.
Update a timeline in Confluence? Your calendar doesn’t know. A teammate’s vacation overlaps with a milestone? Your project stays unaware.
That ends now.
Say Hello to Capable Calendars for Confluence
Envision a setup where project schedules and team availability exist together — live, connected, and accessible in one place. Capable Calendars for Confluence turns that idea into a working solution.
Now you can input critical dates directly into a Confluence-based calendar. Better yet, those dates can be pulled directly from your Confluence pages. The result? A shared calendar that shows your team’s entire schedule in real time.
When a date changes in a document, it reflects in the calendar immediately. No more outdated info. No more communication gaps.
Detailed Controls: Cut the Clutter, Keep What Counts
Calendar needs vary from team to team. That’s why Capable Calendars offers powerful customization for what appears, where, and to whom.
Set up multiple calendars, each tailored with its own rules and visibility settings. Whether you're after a strategic bird’s-eye view or a granular sprint breakdown, the tool adapts to your needs.
Pick from two calendar types:
-
Space Calendars: Limited to specific Confluence spaces.
-
Global Calendars: Available throughout your Confluence environment.
In Action: How Teams Are Using It![]()
Localized Social Media Coordination
Imagine your content team managing posts in various countries. Create a Space Calendar for German campaigns, adjusting for local time zones. Even teammates in the UK can clearly see when posts go live — no conversions needed.
Access stays within the marketing space, keeping focus and privacy intact.
Team-Wide Time-Off Tracking
Meanwhile, HR sets up a Global Calendar for vacation tracking. It's accessible across the site, so any department can see who's out and plan accordingly.
From region-specific rollouts to org-wide availability, Capable Calendars keeps the right info in front of the right eyes.
Custom Views: Your Calendar, Your Style
Capable Calendars isn’t just about what you view — it's about how you view it.
Design your calendar interface to fit your workflow:
-
View Types: Choose Day, Week, Month, Year, or Agenda layouts.
-
Display Preferences: Show page titles and user avatars inline.
-
Color Tags: Highlight events by user, page, or category for fast visual reference.
Jump from broad timelines to focused daily schedules in seconds. Arrange your layout until it feels just right.
Quick Scheduling: Add Events in a Click
Adding events is fast and intuitive.
Click a date in Month View or a specific hour in Day View. Add titles, descriptions, tag team members, select a color — all in moments.
Want to reschedule? Drag and drop the event to a new date. Hover to preview the details without leaving the page.
Smart Syncing: Let Your Pages Feed the Calendar
If you’re already logging dates in Confluence pages, good news: Calendars can automatically extract those entries.
Project managers, for instance, can map out plans with tasks, users, and deadlines. Link that page to your calendar, and everything populates instantly.
You can even connect multiple pages to a single calendar. Use color coding to organize complex, cross-functional efforts — no need to copy dates manually ever again.
Embedded Timelines: Keep Everyone Aligned
Need to include a live calendar in a project brief? Use the built-in Calendar Macro.
Embed calendars into any Confluence page, complete with all standard view modes. Whether you're briefing leadership or planning sprints, you can show timelines in the clearest format for your audience.
Built-In Dashboards: Stay on Top Without Digging
Sometimes, you just need a quick overview. Capable Calendars offers dashboard integrations with ready-made calendar widgets:
-
Mentions View: Instantly see dates tied to tasks where you’re tagged.
-
Recent Pages View: Review timelines from your latest visited content.
No more jumping between pages — the key info is right there.
