Supported Plans

Office activities help bring people together, creating a social atmosphere and a sense of community. With Robin's Activities feature, you can easily plan, share, and join social, cultural, and community events at the workplace using the web dashboard and mobile app. 

Activities in Robin make it easier for everyone to:

• Discover communities and events at the workplace.

• Create and join workplace events. 

• Know what’s happening in the office.

• Decide which days they’d like to go into the office.

Viewing & joining activities

You can see & RSVP to any upcoming activities happening in your office from the Schedule home screen on the web dashboard and mobile app. This is where you can:

• Share the activity in other everyday tools, like Slack, by clicking the activity itself > Copy link.

• Add the activity to your calendar from the actions menu on the activity module. This downloads a .ics file that you can add to your preferred calendar, similar to a dinner reservation or an event confirmation email.

FAQ: 

Q: What's the difference between office activities and meetings?

Office activities are usually social, cultural, & community-building events and are defined by a time, a place, and a location. Office activities have an attendees list-  people who said they were planning to attend the event ("joined"). Usually, meetings are work-related and defined by a subject, and a time, and are typically not open to everyone.
