I want to make some automatisations aware of what day it is (normal working day, working @ home, holiday @ home, holiday away, weekend day, …). There should be some kind af way to automatically populate a local calendar with some standard setup (Sa/Su - > weekend, Monday working @ home, …) but also a view were you can see and alter the settings (e.g. usually Monday is a telework day but this week, it won’t be). The values need to be in a dropdown selection. Is there already some way to do it or can you share your ideas about the best way to do this. Thanks!
If you want to be able to manually alter the value with a drop down, you probably want either an Input Select Helper or a Template Select as you endpoint. But you will likely need to combine one or more other sources of information to automate setting either of their values.
While the previously-linked Workday integration is okay for a first-pass method, it only provides a binary output and it’s not easy to modify its output for those random, one-off events. For example, the calendar it provides does not allow adding or editing events from the Calendar dashboard.
There are a few other integrations that may be helpful as data sources for this project:
Annuals: This custom integration uses the same library for holidays that Workday uses, but is more flexible. So, it may be helpful if you need to incorporate holidays.
I have found this integration to be very helpful with my scheduled tasks and events.
