Things to try
Before you start
Common questions
Can the group see my calendar?
No. The group sees only free and busy, never your event titles. Each member decides what their own Pally may share.
What if someone doesn't use Pally?
Pally asks them in the thread and counts their answer like everyone else's.
Does Pally add the plan to everyone's calendar?
Only for the people who ask. Each person's own Pally adds it to their own calendar.
