Meetings from Google Calendar

Connect your Google Calendar and a meeting with a customer shows up on their record by itself. A task with a due date can go the other way, into your calendar, and so can the calls people book on your booking page.

The connection is yours, not the workspace's. Nobody else can switch it on for you, other members see nothing of your calendar, and connecting in one workspace doesn't connect any other.

Connecting it

Settings → Connections → Google Calendar → Connect. Google asks you to allow it, and nothing is read until you do. Kicklace asks for one permission, to read and write events on your calendar.

What Kicklace reads

Your main calendar, from a week ago to thirty days ahead, every few minutes.

For each meeting, it looks at the guests. If a guest is somebody already in your workspace, the meeting goes on their record: its title, when it is, which of your people were there, and a link back to it. A meeting that hasn't happened yet shows too, so a record says what's coming.

If none of the guests is somebody here, nothing is kept. There's no copy of your calendar in Kicklace, and nobody is ever created from a guest list.

Move a meeting and it moves on the record. Rename it and it's renamed. Cancel it and it goes.

What it never does

• It never writes to your calendar, except the tasks you put there and the calls booked on your booking page.
• It never invites anybody, except the person who booked the call, and never answers an invitation for you.
• It only reads your own main calendar.
• A meeting sends nothing.

A task in your calendar

A task with a due date has a small calendar button, on the Tasks page and on a person. Press it and the task becomes half an hour at 09:00 on the day it's due, in your calendar, with a link back. Nobody is invited. Finish the task or remove it, and it comes out of your calendar again.

Disconnecting

Disconnect stops the reading at once. The meetings already on records stay, the way a note stays. If Google is also how you sign in to Kicklace, you can still sign in; to take the permission away completely, remove Kicklace at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
