Connect Google Calendar

A connected Google Calendar lets you see outside commitments in Dave. You can also choose a Google calendar to receive Dave events. A business owner or admin manages the connection.

Connect and choose calendars

1. Open Calendar Settings from the Schedule menu.
2. Use the Google Calendar connection action and sign in to the Google account you want to connect.
3. In Show in Dave, choose the calendars you want to view.
4. In Add Dave events to Google, choose one editable destination calendar, or none.
5. Review and save your choices. Use Change calendars later to adjust them.

Where to make changes

Events imported from Google are read-only in Dave. Open one and choose Open in Google Calendar to edit it there. Create and edit Dave events in Dave. Check Show on in a Dave event’s form when you need to control whether it appears on the connected calendar.

Look at the event’s calendar status if a copy has not appeared yet. If it says the copy changed in Google, review the change before using any retry or restore action.

Visibility is different from availability

The Calendars menu on Schedule hides or shows connected calendars in your view. Hiding a calendar does not remove it from overlap warnings. An incomplete-availability warning means Dave could not check everything; it is not a promise that the time is free.

If the connection needs attention, return to Calendar Settings and follow its reconnect prompt. Disconnecting a calendar is different from deleting its original events in Google.
