Connecting Google Calendar

Google Calendar is fully integrated with meetergo, allowing for seamless scheduling and calendar management. This article will guide you through connecting your Google Calendar and explain the benefits of this integration.

How to Connect Google Calendar

1. Login to your meetergo account and navigate to your Profile settings
   
2. Click "Connect" next to the Google Calendar option
3. Follow the Google authorization prompts that appear
4. Important: Make sure to check all the requested permissions to enable full functionality
5. If you want meetings to sync with this calendar, select it from the "Calendar Sync" dropdown above the connections section

After completing these steps, you'll see your Google Calendar listed as "Connected" in your profile.

CRM Email Sync

From Suite, you can pull your Gmail conversations into the CRM so the full email history with a contact is visible inside meetergo. Turning it on asks for one additional, read-only gmail.readonly scope on top of the calendar permissions, so meetergo can never send, change or delete your mail.

How to enable it and what gets imported is described in CRM Email Sync.

Troubleshooting Your Connection

If you experience any issues with your Google Calendar connection:

1. Check that you've granted all required permissions
2. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the calendar
3. Go to Profile and ensure you've selected the correct calendar for syncing meetings if you have multiple calendars

FAQ

Why does meetergo need so many calendar permissions?

meetergo requests calendar read and write permissions to enable two-way sync, availability checking, and sending calendar invitations directly through your connected calendar. Without these permissions, core scheduling functionality would be limited. We never read or share your personal event data with anyone.

Can I connect multiple Google Calendars?

Yes, you can connect multiple Google Calendars to your meetergo account. Each calendar can be individually configured for visibility and meeting syncing.

Will my calendar events be visible to others?

Only your busy/free status is used for scheduling. The specific details of your calendar events remain private unless you choose to share them with your teammates. No one outside of your meetergo organization can see event details.

Why can't my guests see who else is invited?

meetergo creates every Google Calendar event with the guest list hidden, so people on a group booking never see each other's email address. If you invite colleagues or known contacts and want a normal shared invite, open the meeting type, go to Advanced and turn on Guests can see each other in the calendar event. The switch only appears when a Google Calendar is connected and applies to events created after you turn it on.

What happens if I disconnect my Google Calendar?

Meetings you already have stay in both systems, and meetergo stops checking that calendar for conflicts. If it was the calendar your new bookings go to, they go to another connected account of the same kind that is working. If there is none, choose a calendar under Calendar Sync. The delete confirmation tells you which case applies before you delete.

Does connecting Google Calendar also grant access to my emails?

No. The read-only gmail.readonly scope is requested separately, and only if you enable CRM Email Sync yourself. See CRM Email Sync.
