Google Calendar

Connecting Google Calendar is the single most important integration: it lets 42min see when you're busy (so you're not double-booked) and add new bookings to your calendar automatically. You connect it from Availability → Calendar. This page is the Google-specific reference; for the step-by-step walkthrough (which also covers Microsoft / Outlook) see Connecting your calendar.

What it does

• Conflict checking — 42min reads the calendars you mark for conflict checks and removes those busy times from your booking pages.
• Write-back — when someone books, 42min creates the event on the calendar you've set as the write target; the invitee gets a calendar invite.
• Google Meet — for event types whose location is Google Meet, a conference link is generated per booking — see Google Meet.
• Multiple accounts — connect more than one Google account (e.g. work and personal) and choose per-calendar what each is used for.

How to do it

1. Open Availability → Calendar.
2. Click Add Calendar, sign in with the Google account, and grant 42min access.
3. Choose which of that account's calendars check for conflicts and which one new bookings are written to.
4. Repeat for any other Google accounts.

Common pitfalls

• Connected but slots are still wrong. The account is connected, but the calendar holding your events isn't ticked for conflict checks — fix that on the Calendar tab.
• No write-back. Pick a calendar as the write target; without one, 42min has nowhere to create the event.
• Access revoked. If you remove 42min from your Google security settings, the connection goes stale — reconnect from Availability → Calendar.
