Usage
Once activated, Pillar will request to be notified when events are created or changed on Pillar users' Google Calendars. If we detect that it is an interview with an active candidate, Pillar will note the start time and participants and automatically join when the meeting starts. If the meeting is not an interview, Pillar will ignore it and record no information. The Pillar Google Calendar integration will only watch the calendars of active Pillar users and can be deactivated at any time.
