What is Google Calendar Integration?​

Integrating your Google Calendar with Stack allows for real-time scheduling, streamlined availability management, and seamless syncing across platforms. It's perfect for booking calls, automating appointments, and coordinating with your team—all in one place.

Key Benefits of Integrating Google Calendar​

  • Real-time appointment syncing between Google Calendar and Stack.
  • Two-way sync to keep both platforms aligned.
  • Avoid double bookings using conflict calendars.
  • Supports multi-user setups with calendar selection per profile.
  • Streamlined scheduling with improved visibility and control.

Prerequisites for Google Calendar Integration​

  • A valid Google account.
  • Access to Stack Calendar settings.
  • Ensure the calendar you're connecting is not shared with conflicting permissions.

Note: Calendar integrations are tied to individual user profiles. Each user should connect their own Google Calendar.

Steps to Connect Google Calendar​
