Applicable scenario: Communicate and collaborate with external users
Functions: IM, Docs, Calendar
Apart from internal work, many teams require frequent interaction and cooperation with people outside the team. The following best practices can help you communicate and collaborate with external users more smoothly and reduce the switching between different platforms or tools.
Add external contacts
| Smooth communication between internal and external
If you require communication with people outside your team, you can share an invitation link or QR code to add external contacts. Then, you can communicate with external users when they accept your invitation. If you need to communicate with more people, you can create an external group chat and add relevant external users and team members in the chat.
Note: External contacts must download and sign up Lark.
Grant external permissions
| Easy sharing and collaboration
If you need to share a document with people outside your team, you don't have to save two versions separately. You can grant view permissions of and share a link with external users for directly accessing. In addition to the view permissions, you can also grant edit permissions to external users for co-editing .
Sync external calendars
| Integrate various calendars
If you use more than one calendar tool, you can integrate all calendars to avoid frequently switching or missing schedules. You can directly import the Google calendar into Lark Calendar, or sync Lark Calendar to system calendars on your computer or your mobile phone through CalDAV Settings.
