đ How Guide Captures Interviewer Location
When your team connects Slack to Guide, each interviewerâs timezone and location are automatically pulled from their Slack profile at the time of initial sync. This makes it easy for recruiting coordinators to know where interviewers are based and whether a physical room is needed.
âď¸ How to Manually Update Location and Time Zone
After Slack is connected, you can edit an interviewerâs scheduling preferences anytime:
Option 1: From the User Settings page
Go to Settings â Users
Click the name of the interviewer
Select Edit scheduling preferences
Update the location and time zone
Option 2: From the Calendar Review screen
Open the calendar review screen
Click the interviewerâs name in the panel
Select Edit scheduling preferences
Update the details as needed
đ How Slack Sync Works for User Profiles in Guide
When Slack is initially connected, Guide automatically syncs an interviewerâs location and time zone based on their Slack profile.
â If no manual edits are made, any future changes to the interviewerâs Slack profile will continue syncing to Guide automatically â typically within a few minutes.
â ď¸ However, once an interviewerâs profile is manually edited in Guide (e.g. location, title, or bio), Slack syncing will stop for that user. From that point on, any further updates must be made directly in Guide via the userâs profile.
This ensures that manual changes arenât accidentally overwritten by Slack.
