I have accidentally fallen into the role of coordinator for my group. How do you guys like to organize? I'll describe the ideal app I'd like in the event you guys know of one that fulfills it.

I'd like a shared calendar application that we can all see. I'd like some way for discussions about the events to happen. Like it has a discussion page per event. Discord integration of some kind would be awesome.

EDIT: I ended up using the discord bit called Raid Planner. It has a web UI calendar and has automatic thread creation.

You could always use Outlook's calendar if you wanted to add to people's schedules via emails. It's a little "business-y" for my taste, but it is effective at reminding people there's a game happening. It also has Teams integration for a searchable chat option, a file storage system, video chat, etc. Discord is pretty bad if you want an archive-able chat.

Alternatively, you could also try Matrix, which is the open-source version of Discord and has a ton of integration options available. It does require that everyone download something, but any coordination effort is going to require some amount of buy-in from the players. Let us know what works!
