Use cases · For enterprises with contractors
Your team, their tenant, one time that works
Enterprises run on contractors, vendors and partners who sit outside their Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Synced lets employees and contractors see real availability across those company boundaries, and lets each contractor keep their other clients private.

What gets in the way today
Free/busy stops at the tenant edge
Outlook's scheduling assistant can't see the contractor's own calendar, so the meeting lands on a time they're with another client.
Contractors juggle two identities
An ext- account in your tenant and their own company account, neither aware of the other.
Email threads to find an hour
Five people, three companies, a dozen replies.
How it works with Synced
- Step 1
Contractors connect both identities
Their ext- account in your tenant and their own company account share one calendar, so their availability is real.
Learn more - Step 2
Find a time across companies
Employees type who and when; Synced checks everyone on Synced across Google and Microsoft and shows the best times.
- Step 3
Privacy by default
You see a contractor's other commitments as busy, never their titles or their other clients.
- Step 4
Invite anyone
People not on Synced are invited by email, or pick a time from a booking link.
Across tenants, in one step
Synced reads each person's calendar where it lives, in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, and shows when everyone on Synced is free.

Questions
- Can Synced show availability for people outside our company?
- Yes, for people on Synced or who are your trusted contacts, whichever calendar provider their company uses. Anyone else is invited by email or can book through your link.
- What does a colleague see of a contractor's calendar?
- Only busy time. Other people's event titles are never shown, so a contractor's other clients stay private.
- Do we need admin approval?
- Some tenants require IT to approve outside apps before employees can connect. Synced signs in with Google or Microsoft OAuth; see the security page for the permissions it asks for.
- Does it work if half the people are on Google and half on Outlook?
- Yes. Synced reads Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook calendars side by side.
