How to Access the Xembly Extension
The Xembly Extension overlays your Google Calendar and can be accessed when your calendar is open.
Depending on how your settings are defined in the Preferences section, the Xembly Extension will appear visible or hidden at different times.
Auto Open (& Close)
Auto Open (& Close)
When you launch your calendar, the Xembly Extension will automatically open on the right-hand side of the screen.
Depending on the settings, this will also close after a period of no interaction. This can be adjusted in your Setting Preferences.
The Xembly Extension will also be triggered open if you interact with a Calendar event.
With this collapsed setting, your panel will be kept closed unless you actively open the panel by selecting the Xembly icon on the Google Chrome Application bar or the arrow on the hand sidebar.

Navigating your Task List
Navigating your Task List
Your task management feed can be found by clicking on the clipboard icon at the top of the Xembly Extension navigation menu.
This landing page will allow you to quickly access all tasks that are currently open or have been completed. You can toggle between completion states at the top of the Xembly Extension. For more information, visit how to manage your tasks in the Xembly Extension.
How are tasks generated on this list?
Tasks can be added to this list in three ways:
Summary generated: Xembly captures action items with every summary that is generated. These tasks will only show on the Task List if the meeting is shared by the organizer - regardless if you own the meeting or not.
Xena created: If you message Xena on Slack and request that a Reminder or Block Time be created, the request will be added to not only your calendar but also your Task List for easier management. If you don’t want a Reminder or Block Time added to your calendar but still want to add it to your Task List just say something like, “Create a task to reply to Sandra’s email.”
Xembly Extension created: You have the ability to generate your own ad-hoc action items directly through the Xembly Extension by selecting the + icon at the top of the navigation bar. This workflow will allow you to quickly add items that come up.
What can I do with these tasks?
Schedule reminders & block time directly on your calendar.
Manage your existing tasks by adjusting the date/times and duration, or find a new time in one click!
Mark the tasks complete.
