After your admin enables Kona Meeting Assistant for your organization, you may need to link your calendar before Kona can join your 1-on-1 meetings. Once connected, Kona automatically joins scheduled 1-on-1s without further action from you.
Before You Begin
- Your organization's admin must have enabled Kona Meeting Assistant.
- You need an active calendar connected to your work account (Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook).
- You must have manager-level access in 15Five.
Steps
- Log in to 15Five.
- Click your profile avatar in the top-right corner.
- Select Settings from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the Kona section.
- Click Connect Calendar.
- Select your calendar provider: Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook.
- Review the permissions requested and click Allow.
- Confirm the connection status shows Calendar Connected.
If Something Goes Wrong
| Issue | Check | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "Connect Calendar" option is not visible | Confirm your admin has enabled Kona for your organization | Contact your admin to verify Kona Meeting Assistant is active |
| Calendar authorization fails mid-flow | Confirm you are signed into the correct Google or Microsoft account in your browser | Sign out of other accounts, then retry the connection from Step 5 |
| Status does not update to Calendar Connected after approving permissions | Wait 30 seconds and refresh the page | If status remains unchanged, disconnect and reconnect the calendar |
| Kona does not join a scheduled 1-on-1 after connecting | Confirm the meeting is a recurring 1-on-1 between you and a direct report | Verify the meeting appears on the connected calendar and that the direct report is listed correctly in 15Five |
