How to create a 1:1?

You can schedule a 1:1 with anyone in your organization. There are two ways to create it: by syncing your calendar or by creating the meeting manually.

Navigate to the 1:1 module

From your ThriveSparrow homepage, click on the 1:1 tab in the top navigation bar.

Create a one-on-one

You can schedule 1:1s with anyone in your organization.

Click + New 1:1 at the top-right corner of your screen. There are two ways to set them up: by connecting your calendar or creating them manually.

Option 1: Calendar sync

Connect your Outlook or Google Calendar and import your existing meetings.

1. Click Schedule a 1:1 → Calendar sync.
2. Connect your calendar when prompted.
3. Select an existing meeting with another employee.
4. Use Take a look to automatically fetch all your one-on-one meetings from your calendar and bulk-add them to ThriveSparrow.
   

Only meetings with two participants, where you are the organizer, are shown during calendar sync.

If you select another employee, only meetings where both you and that employee are participants will appear.

Once synced, these meetings appear in your 1:1s list with options to add agendas, notes, and action items.

Option 2: Manual creation

You can also create a 1:1 directly in ThriveSparrow.

1. Click Schedule a 1:1 → Manual.
2. Select the participant and add a meeting title, time, and frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or one-time).
3. Turn on Sync this meeting to calendar to automatically push the invite to Outlook or Google Calendar. (This step is optional)
4. Add your agenda points or choose an agenda template.
5. Enable carry-forward talking points and action items to automatically bring forward any unfinished items from previous sessions.

Tip: Keeping 1:1s recurring ensures consistency and helps both participants stay aligned on performance and development. We recommend having a 1:1 with your reportee at least once a month.
