How to create a new joint activity
Google Calendar is a wonderful tool for coordinating activities with others. However, if you’re a frequent user of the platform, you may find it cumbersome to create new joint activities from scratch. In this blog post, we’ll provide a quick guide on how to create new joint activities using Google Calendar.
To get started, open Google Calendar and click on the “Joint Activities” tab at the top of the screen. This tab provides a list of recently created joint activities as well as all available options for creating new ones.
The first step is to decide what type of activity you would like to create. Google offers a variety of joint activity options, such as meeting, conference call, task, or group event.
After selecting the type of activity you’d like to create, you will be prompted to specify the participants involved in the activity. Joint activities can be single-participant or multi-participant.

How to invite people to your calendar
If you’re looking to keep your calendar booked with events, you can easily do so by using Google Calendar joint invitations. Joints are just simple text messages that allow you to invite other people to join your calendar together. Here’s a quick primer on setting up joint invitations and how they work:
1. To begin, open Google Calendar and sign in. If you don’t have an account, you can create one at https://www.google.com/calendar/.
2. Select the month and year that you want to manage your calendar in.
3. Under “Calendar”, select “Joint Invites”.
4. On the right side of the screen, enter the email addresses of people you want to invite. You can invite as many people as you’d like, but be sure to leave enough space at the end of each email address for a response!
5. Hit “Create Joint Invite”. The email will be sent out to everyone who was invited and will include a link that allows them to join your calendar. If someone doesn’t receive the email, they can check their junkmail folder or contact you directly through the email address listed in step 4.
Preparing for the event
Google calendar joints are an extremely helpful feature when planning events with friends and family. If you’re not familiar with how to set them up, don’t worry – here’s a quick primer.
To create a joint Google calendar event, first open your regular Google calendar and click on the “Create Event” button.
Next, choose the “Invite Participants” option and enter the email addresses of those you want to include in the event. You can also select which calendars those participants should view the event on (default is everyone’s Google calendar).
Finally, add a title for the event and click “Create.” Your participants will then be automatically sent an invitation and will be able to see the event on their respective calendars.
Tips for setting up the actual activity
Google Calendar joints are a great way to keep your activities organized and easy to reference. Here are some tips on setting them up:
1. Choose who will be responsible for setting up the joint. This should usually be someone with access to both calendars and a lot of energy (or time!) to get things done.
2. Decide on the structure of the joint. Maybe you’d like all your activities to happen on Monday mornings, or each weeknight at 7pm?
3. Set up joint properties. Each joint has properties that determine how it appears in both calendars and what actions can be performed with it (like adding people).
4. Import calendar data! Once everything is set up, you’ll likely want to import your own calendar data into the joint so everyone is synced up and working from the same sources.
