Meetup

Meetup is an application for Slack developed and maintained by Bryllyant.

Purpose

Meetup aims to simplify generating Google Meet links from within a Slack channel.


Workflow

• Meetup is executed by sending the slash command /meetup to a Slack channel.
• If it's your first time using the command, you will be asked to authenticate with your Google account. We use your account to generate the meeting link given the scopes you grant us, using the Google Calendar API. See the below section on how to authenticate your Google account successfully.
• After authenticating, you will need to run the /meetup command again.
• If it's not your first time using Meetup, a meeting link will now be generated and sent to the channel you sent the command to.
• You, as well as any other users in the channel, can now view the link and join.

How to authenticate your Google account

• After sending your first /meetup slash command, the Meetup app will send you a message asking you to authenticate.
• Initiate the authentication process by clicking "Click here to continue" in this message.
  
• This will open a new tab in your browser where you will be asked to sign in with Google. Click "Sign in with Google".
  
• On the next page, select the Google account you want to authenticate.
  
• On the following page, you will be asked to sign in to Meetup for Slack. Click "Continue" here.
  
• The next step is to grant Meetup for Slack access to view and edit events on all your calendars. Note that on this step the checkbox for "View and edit events on all your calendars" must be checked or the authentication process will fail. The Meetup app needs access to view and edit calendar events in order to generate the meetings. After checking that box, click "Continue".
  
• Following the above steps should result in a successful authentication. If you experience any issues, please contact us.

Data Usage

Meetup uses Google Calendar APIs to create meeting links. We only access and use your Google Calendar data to provide the necessary functionality of the App. We do not collect or store any other information from your Google Calendar, and we do not share this information with any third parties.

We use Google Calendar APIs to:

• Create calendar events: The App creates calendar events using the Google Calendar API to schedule meetings or events based on your instructions.
• Extract meeting links: The App retrieves the meeting link from the created calendar event.
• Delete calendar events: The App deletes the created calendar events once the meeting link has been extracted and returned to you.

Meetup also stores and uses certain Slack user identifier data in order to identify users using the App.
