Automatically see shared calendars associated with a Google Group when you join it

Quick launch summary
When a user joins a Google Group, they’ll now receive an email listing the shared calendars they can access as a result of their group membership—typically within an hour of joining. This will make it much easier for new team members and employees to discover relevant calendars and eliminate the need for existing group members to share those calendars manually.

Users will also be able to add these shared calendars to their calendar list with just one click.
Note, if a group has more than 100 shared calendars, new members will not receive an email.
