Summary

Google Calendar offers an "out-of-office" feature that automatically declines meetings during set times, sending an email notification to those involved. This feature was added in 2018 and has since expanded to other Google apps like Gmail and Google Chat. Users can integrate this feature with third-party apps using Zapier, automating tasks such as updating Slack status or sending SMS alerts when approaching out-of-office events.
