Description
The Pesto (formerly Pragli) Scheduler for Google Calendar is a Chrome Web Store extension designed to integrate Google Calendar event creation with Pesto's virtual meeting rooms. This tool aims to simplify the process of scheduling remote meetings by automating the population of event details.
Upon installation, the extension introduces an "Add Pesto" button directly within the Google Calendar interface. When users create a new event or edit an existing one, this button becomes available. Clicking it automatically populates the "where" and "description" fields of the calendar event with a unique guest link to a Pesto room. Users have the flexibility to choose whether this link directs to a new, automatically generated Pesto room or an existing one, configurable through their Pesto account settings.
Pesto itself is described as a digitally native, authentically human workplace. Its core functionality revolves around "rooms," which operate similarly to traditional conference calls. These rooms support audio, video, and screen sharing, allowing for remote participation. Guests can be easily invited by sharing a simple guest link, facilitating seamless entry into the virtual meeting space.
To utilize the Pesto Scheduler extension, users must have an active Pesto account and be signed into at least one Pesto team. The extension's primary benefit lies in its ability to reduce the manual effort involved in setting up virtual meetings, making it quicker and more efficient to transition from scheduling to actual collaboration. This integration is particularly valuable for teams that rely heavily on Pesto for their remote communication and collaboration needs.
The extension is developed by the owner of the listed website, pesto.app, and has a positive developer record. It is a small download, requiring 168KiB, and is available in English. The developer has disclosed that they will not collect or use user data, nor will it be sold to third parties or used for purposes unrelated to the item's core functionality.
