Connect your Google or Outlook calendar

Connect the calendar you already live in. When you're busy there, nobody can book you here. Your bookings show up there too. We only ever see when you're busy, never what the event is.

Connect a calendar

1. Open Calendar and choose Your hours.

2. Under Your calendar, choose Connect Google Calendar or Connect Outlook Calendar.

3. Sign in with Google or Microsoft and allow access to your calendars.

4. You land back on Your hours with "Connected. Your busy times will show here in a minute, and your bookings will appear in your calendar."

If you skip the access screen, you see "It connected without calendar access." Connect again and allow access to your calendars.

What changes

• Busy time in your calendar appears on your Calendar column as "Busy in Google Calendar" or "Busy in Outlook". Times when you're busy can't be booked.

• Under Your calendar, a line tells you how many busy times in the next seven days keep you from being booked.

• Your upcoming bookings are written to your calendar.

• If you delete a booking from your calendar, it is still booked here. The panel tells you; change it from the booking.

If it stops working

The panel shows a sentence under the connection, such as "Checked" with a time. If Google or Outlook stopped letting us in, it says so. Choose Connect Google Calendar again or the Outlook version, and sign in once more.

Disconnect

1. Choose Disconnect next to the calendar.

2. In the dialog, choose Disconnect, or Keep it connected to stop.

We stop reading your busy times and take your upcoming bookings out of your calendar. Your bookings stay as they are.

Outlook keeps your permission live for a while on Microsoft's side. To finish, remove RedStick Booking from account.microsoft.com under "Apps and services", or myapps.microsoft.com for a work account.

Your weekly hours and time off are on the same screen. See Your hours and time off.
