Google Calendar integration

Setup

About a minute. Works with Gmail and Google Workspace accounts.

1. 1

   Sign in to SynqSlot with Google

   Go to synqslot.com and click Continue with Google. SynqSlot uses Google Sign-In only to identify you (name, email, picture); the 15-day trial starts without a card. If you already have a SynqSlot account under the same email, Google sign-in opens it — no second password.

2. 2

   Connect your calendar

   Dashboard → Connected calendars → Google Calendar → Connect. Google's consent screen lists two permissions: "View your availability in your calendars" (free/busy) and "View and edit events on all your calendars" (to create and update the booking events). Click Allow.

3. 3

   Choose where bookings go and what blocks time

   Bookings are written to the primary calendar of the connection marked "Use for new events" — if you connect more than one account, pick which one on its card. Each connection also has a "Blocks availability" switch, so a second account can be read for conflicts without receiving events.

4. 4

   Optional: read event titles for focus time

   Off by default. If you turn on "Read event titles" on a connection, SynqSlot reads the titles of your own events in memory to recognise Focus time, Out of office and Travel blocks you marked as Free, and protects them. Titles are never stored. Turning it off reverts to free/busy only.

What happens day to day

Nothing to do — SynqSlot keeps the calendar and the booking page in step.

1. 1

   Availability

   Your booking page only offers times inside your SynqSlot hours that are not busy on the connected calendars. Busy times are read at the moment someone views the page; nothing from your calendar is copied into SynqSlot.

2. 2

   Bookings

   When someone books, SynqSlot creates one event on your destination calendar with the invitee as a guest, so Google sends the invitation and keeps RSVPs. If the booking link uses Google Meet, the Meet link is generated with the event and placed in the confirmation and reminders.

3. 3

   Reschedules and cancellations

   A reschedule updates the same event to the new time (the replacement is created and confirmed before the old one is removed, so the guest never sees an empty gap). A cancellation deletes the event; Google notifies the guest.

4. 4

   Teams

   Each team member connects their own Google Calendar. Round-robin and panel booking links read every assigned host's busy times and write the event to the assigned host's calendar — or every panelist's.

Disconnecting

Either place works. Events already on your calendar are never deleted by disconnecting.

1. 1

   From SynqSlot

   Dashboard → Connected calendars → Google Calendar → Disconnect. SynqSlot stops reading and writing immediately, deletes its stored tokens and revokes the grant with Google. One exception: if the connection still owns the calendar events of upcoming bookings, the credentials are kept only until those meetings have passed — so they can still be cancelled or moved — and are then deleted and revoked automatically. Events already on your calendar stay.

2. 2

   From your Google Account

   myaccount.google.com → Security → Your connections to third-party apps & services → SynqSlot → Delete all connections. SynqSlot detects the revoked grant on its next calendar read, stops using the connection and marks it as needing a reconnect.
