Connect your email and calendar
Connect your email and calendar so your cofounder can see your day. Emails to answer and meetings to prep then show up on the Today tab and in your daily brief.
The short version
- Start on Today. Open the Today tab in Founder Focus and click Manage sources.
- Email first. Connect Gmail or Outlook.
- Then your calendar. Connect Google Calendar or Outlook. A green dot means a source is connected, and you can disconnect it anytime.
- Today fills itself. Your cofounder watches your inbox and calendar, and what needs you shows up on Today and in your daily brief. Anything that resolves itself clears on its own.
