Events in Pebb: A Complete Guide to the Team Calendar, Events, Attendance, Google Calendar Sync, and Notifications

Learn how to use Pebb’s Events feature and Team Calendar to create meetings, organize events, notify Space members, track attendance, manage event permissions, and sync events with Google Calendar from web or mobile.

Pebb’s Events feature gives every team a shared Team Calendar inside Pebb. It helps companies create, organize, and manage events, meetings, celebrations, team syncs, all-hands meetings, training sessions, reminders, and location-based activities in one place.

The Team Calendar is available on both web and mobile, so employees can view events, attend or decline, open event details, and stay updated from the Pebb mobile app. Managers can create events, notify Space members, organize company activities, and keep the team aligned without needing a separate calendar tool.

Like many Pebb features, Events live inside a Space. That means each Space can have its own Team Calendar. A company can create one calendar for the New York store, another for the Boston branch, another for Housekeeping, another for Construction Site A, and another Space for Everyone with company-wide events.

This makes events more relevant, less noisy, and easier to manage.


What are Events used for?

Events are used to organize anything that needs to happen at a specific date and time.

Teams use Events for:

Team meetings
Weekly syncs
Monthly all-hands
Training sessions
Company celebrations
Employee birthdays
Store meetings
Restaurant pre-shift briefings
Hotel department meetings
Construction site briefings
Safety training
Warehouse operations meetings
HR onboarding sessions
Branch events
Company-wide announcements
Team lunches
Workshops
Holiday events
Maintenance windows
Manager check-ins

The goal is simple: when something is happening, everyone in the right Space should know when it is, what it is about, where it is happening, and whether they should attend.


Events live inside Spaces

The Events feature is managed inside Spaces.

A Space is a dedicated area for a specific group of people, such as a branch, location, department, project, or company-wide group.

Because Events live inside Spaces, each team can have its own Team Calendar.

For example:

A retail company can create one Space for each store and manage local store meetings separately.

A restaurant can create a Space for each location and create pre-shift meetings, menu training, and team activities.

A hotel can create Spaces for Front Desk, Housekeeping, Maintenance, and Everyone.

A construction company can create a Space for each job site and use Events for site briefings, inspections, and safety meetings.

An office team can use the Everyone Space for all-hands meetings, company celebrations, and company-wide events.

This keeps events relevant. Employees only see events that belong to the Spaces they are part of.


Main Events screen

The main Events screen is the shared Team Calendar for the selected Space.

The screen includes:

Calendar view
List view
Refresh button
Create Event button
Google Calendar button
Today / Back / Next controls
Month / Week / Day views
Calendar grid
Event cards


Calendar view

The Calendar tab shows events in a calendar layout.

This is useful when users want to see what is happening across the month, week, or day.

For example, in Month view, users can quickly see events like:

Weekly Team Sync
Monthly All-Hands

This helps employees understand what is coming up without opening every event one by one.


List view

The List tab shows events as a list of event cards.

This is useful when users want a simple agenda-style view.

In List view, each event can show:

Event title
Description
Date and time
Event owner
Attend button
Decline button
Attending list
Declined list
Copy link
Delete button

List view is especially helpful on mobile because employees can scroll through events easily.


Refresh button

The refresh icon reloads the event list or calendar.

Use it when a new event was created, an event was updated, or attendance changed and you want to see the latest information.


Create Event button

The Create Event button opens the Create Event window.

This is where authorized users can create a new event for the Space.


Google Calendar button

The Google Calendar button opens the Google Calendar connection window.

This lets teams connect Google Calendar with Pebb so events can sync between both platforms.


Calendar navigation

The Team Calendar includes navigation controls to move through time.

Today

The Today button brings the calendar back to the current date.

This is useful when users have moved forward or backward and want to return to the current period.

Back

The Back button moves the calendar backward.

In Month view, it moves to the previous month.
In Week view, it moves to the previous week.
In Day view, it moves to the previous day.

Next

The Next button moves the calendar forward.

In Month view, it moves to the next month.
In Week view, it moves to the next week.
In Day view, it moves to the next day.


Month, Week, and Day views

The Team Calendar can be viewed in different time layouts.

Month view

Month view shows the full month.

This is useful for planning company-wide events, monthly meetings, training days, celebrations, and recurring events.

Example:

Monthly All-Hands on May 20
Weekly Team Sync on May 1

Week view

Week view is useful when teams want to focus on the current workweek.

This is helpful for departments with several events in one week, such as training sessions, shift briefings, manager meetings, or project check-ins.

Day view

Day view is useful when a team has multiple events in one day.

For example, a hotel may have a morning front desk briefing, a housekeeping meeting, and a maintenance check-in on the same day.


Creating an event

Click Create Event to open the Create Event window.

The Create Event window includes:

Title
Description
Location
Notify everyone in this Space

The Title field is where the event name is entered.

Examples:

Weekly Team Sync
Monthly All-Hands
Safety Training
New Employee Orientation
Store Meeting
Pre-Shift Briefing
Housekeeping Training
Inventory Count Meeting
Project Site Briefing
Team Lunch
Holiday Party

A good title should make it clear what the event is.

Examples:

“Regular check-in to discuss progress, blockers, and plans for the week ahead.”

“Company-wide meeting to share updates, celebrate wins, and align on goals.”

“Mandatory safety training for all site workers.”

“Quick meeting before the dinner shift to review the new menu.”

The Location field is used to show where the event is happening.

Examples:

Main Office
NY Store
Hotel Lobby
Conference Room A
Construction Site B
Warehouse Floor
Restaurant Dining Area
Zoom / Google Meet
Training Room
Rooftop Bar

This is useful for teams with multiple branches, departments, sites, or meeting places.


Notify everyone in this Space

The Notify everyone in this Space toggle sends a notification to all members of the Space when the event is created.

This gives managers control over how visible the event should be.

Use notifications when the event is important or time-sensitive.

Examples:

A mandatory safety meeting
A schedule change meeting
A company-wide all-hands
A new training session
A store reopening briefing
A hotel emergency procedure meeting

If the event is less urgent, the creator can leave notifications off and allow the event to appear quietly in the Team Calendar.

Notifications can help employees discover events on both web and mobile.


Event time settings

The Time section controls when the event happens.

Entire day toggle

The Entire day toggle is used when the event lasts the whole day or does not need a specific start and end time.

Examples:

Company holiday
Office closed
Training day
Team offsite
Store reopening day
Conference day
Inventory day

When Entire day is off, the event uses a specific start and end time.


Start time

The Start time includes:

Start date
Start hour and minute

Example:

5/18/26
16:00

This means the event starts on May 18 at 4:00 PM.


End time

The End time includes:

End date
End hour and minute

Example:

5/18/26
17:00

This means the event ends on May 18 at 5:00 PM.

The event duration is based on the start and end time.


Create Event

The Create Event button saves the event and adds it to the Space Team Calendar.

If the notification toggle is enabled, members of the Space can also receive a notification.


Close button

The X closes the Create Event window without creating the event.


Event details

Clicking an event opens the event details view.

The event details view can show:

Event title
Description
Date and time
Event owner
Attend button
Decline button
Attending list
Declined list
Copy link
Delete button

Example:

Weekly Team Sync
Regular check-in to discuss progress, blockers, and plans for the week ahead.

May 1
10:25 PM – 11:25 PM

Event owner: Thomas Miller
@contact · Manager


Event title

The event title shows the name of the event.

Examples:

Weekly Team Sync
Monthly All-Hands
Safety Training
Team Lunch


Event description

The description gives context about the event.

Example:

“Regular check-in to discuss progress, blockers, and plans for the week ahead.”

This helps employees decide whether they need to attend and how to prepare.


Event date and time

The event details show the date and time.

Example:

May 1
10:25 PM – 11:25 PM

or:

May 20
9:25 PM – 10:55 PM

This helps employees know exactly when the event takes place.


Event owner

The Event owner section shows who created or owns the event.

It can include:

Profile photo
Name
Username or handle
Role or title

Example:

Thomas Miller
@contact · Manager

This helps employees know who to contact with questions about the event.


Attending and declining events

Employees can respond to events directly from Pebb.

Attend

The Attend button lets employees confirm they are going to the event.

This helps the event owner understand who plans to join.

For example, a manager can create a training event and see who marked themselves as attending.

Decline

The Decline button lets employees say they will not attend.

This helps managers understand who cannot make it.

For example, if a team meeting is optional, employees who are not available can decline.


Attending list

The Attending section shows who accepted the event.

If nobody has accepted yet, it may show:

No attendees

Once employees click Attend, they appear in the attending list.


Declined list

The Declined section shows who declined the event.

If nobody declined yet, it may show:

No declines

This helps the event owner track responses.


Event actions

Event cards and details include action icons.

Copy link

The link icon copies a direct link to the event.

This is useful when sharing the event in Chat, News Feed, onboarding messages, or task instructions.

Example:

A manager can create a safety training event, copy the link, and share it in the Space chat.

Delete event

The trash icon deletes the event.

This should be used carefully, especially if employees have already responded.

Deleting an event removes it from the Space Team Calendar.


Google Calendar sync

Pebb supports connecting Google Calendar.

The Google Calendar window explains:

“Connect Google Calendars to sync events between Pebb and Google Calendar. Events created in either platform will appear in both.”

This means teams can connect Pebb Events with Google Calendar so events stay aligned across both platforms.


Connect Google Calendar

The Connect Google Calendar button starts the connection process.

Once connected, events created in Pebb can appear in Google Calendar, and events created in Google Calendar can appear in Pebb.

This is useful for teams that already use Google Calendar but want employees to see events inside Pebb too.

Examples:

A manager creates a company all-hands in Google Calendar, and it appears in Pebb.

A Space admin creates a team training event in Pebb, and it appears in Google Calendar.

An office team keeps calendar planning in Google Calendar while frontline employees view events in Pebb.


Events permissions

Pebb allows admins to control who can create and modify events inside each Space.

Inside Space settings, admins can enable the Events feature and configure permissions.


Events toggle

The Events toggle turns the Events feature on or off inside the Space.

The feature description says:

“Create and organize events, meetings, and celebrations in one shared calendar.”

When enabled, the Space can use the Team Calendar.


Use default permissions

When enabled, Pebb uses the Space’s default permission settings.

When disabled, admins can customize event permissions.


Create events

Controls who can create new events in the Space.

Available options can include:

Everyone
Admins & Managers
Admins Only

In the screenshot, Create events is set to Everyone.

This means all members can create events, depending on the Space setup.

This can be useful in collaborative Spaces where team members organize social events, team lunches, or project meetings.


Modify events

Controls who can edit or delete existing events.

In the screenshot, Modify events is set to Admins Only.

This helps protect the calendar from accidental changes.

For example, a company may allow everyone to create events but only admins to modify or remove them.


Events on mobile

Events are available on the Pebb mobile app.

Employees can:

Open the Team Calendar
View events
Switch between calendar and list-style views
Open event details
Attend events
Decline events
See event owner information
Receive event notifications
Open Google-synced events when connected
Create events, depending on permissions

This is especially useful for frontline employees who may not use a desktop computer during the workday.

Examples:

A retail employee checks the next store meeting from their phone.

A restaurant server sees the pre-shift briefing time before arriving.

A hotel housekeeper views a training event from the mobile app.

A construction worker receives a mobile notification about a safety meeting.

A warehouse employee confirms attendance for an inventory briefing.


Notifications for Events

Events can notify members of the Space.

When creating an event, the creator can choose whether to notify everyone in the Space.

This gives teams control over communication.

Use notifications for important events that employees should not miss.

Examples:

Mandatory training
Safety briefing
All-hands meeting
Branch meeting
Emergency update
Store reopening meeting
Policy training
Shift coordination meeting

For less urgent events, the creator can leave notifications off, and the event will still appear in the Team Calendar.


Common use cases

Retail stores

Retail stores can use Events for store meetings, seasonal training, inventory days, sale briefings, and team celebrations.

Example:

A store manager creates a “Holiday Sale Briefing” event in the NY Store Space and notifies everyone in the Space.

Employees receive the notification and can mark themselves as attending.


Restaurants

Restaurants can use Events for pre-shift briefings, menu training, staff meetings, health inspections, and team activities.

Example:

A restaurant manager creates a “New Menu Training” event for Tuesday at 4 PM.

The description includes what employees should review before attending.


Hotels

Hotels can use Events for department meetings, guest service training, housekeeping briefings, maintenance planning, and monthly all-hands.

Example:

A hotel manager creates a “Monthly All-Hands” event in the Everyone Space.

Employees from multiple departments can attend or decline from their phones.


Construction companies

Construction companies can use Events for safety briefings, site kickoff meetings, inspection dates, equipment training, and project check-ins.

Example:

A site supervisor creates a “Site Safety Briefing” in the Construction Site A Space and notifies everyone.

Workers receive the mobile notification before arriving on site.


Warehouses

Warehouses can use Events for shift meetings, inventory counts, equipment training, loading schedule reviews, and safety refreshers.

Example:

A warehouse manager creates an “Inventory Count Prep Meeting” and adds the location as Warehouse Floor.

Employees confirm attendance in Pebb.


Office teams

Office teams can use Events for team syncs, company all-hands, onboarding sessions, workshops, celebrations, and recurring meetings.

Example:

A manager creates a “Weekly Team Sync” event with a description: “Regular check-in to discuss progress, blockers, and plans for the week ahead.”

Team members attend or decline, and the event appears in the Team Calendar.


Best practices for using Events in Pebb

Create events inside the Space where the right people already work.

Use the Everyone Space for company-wide meetings and celebrations.

Use branch or department Spaces for local events.

Write clear event titles so employees understand the purpose right away.

Add a short description so people know what to expect.

Add a location when the event is physical.

Use the notification toggle for important events.

Avoid notifying everyone for small or casual events unless needed.

Encourage employees to click Attend or Decline so managers know who is coming.

Use List view when reviewing event details.

Use Calendar view when planning across a week or month.

Connect Google Calendar if your team already uses it and wants events synced between both platforms.

Limit event modification permissions if you want to protect the Team Calendar from accidental edits.


Why teams use Events in Pebb

Events in Pebb give every Space a shared Team Calendar for meetings, updates, training, celebrations, and team activities.

Managers can create events, add descriptions, set times, include locations, notify Space members, track attendance, and connect Google Calendar.

Employees can view events, respond with Attend or Decline, and stay updated from web or mobile.

Because Events live inside Spaces, every team, department, branch, or job site can have its own calendar, while the Everyone Space can hold company-wide events.

For frontline and office teams, Pebb’s Team Calendar keeps events visible, organized, and connected to the rest of the work happening in Pebb.
