Google Calendar Integration Guide

Overview

Google Calendar powers the availability and scheduling features of StarLovin's meeting scheduler. When connected, it lets StarLovin check your existing calendar events to prevent double-bookings, create calendar events when someone books with you, and generate Google Meet links for virtual meetings.

Connecting Your Google Calendar

1. In StarLovin, go to Settings → Integrations → Calendars.
2. In the Connected Accounts card, click Connect.
3. In the Connect Calendar dialog, choose Google Calendar. Outlook Calendar is listed as coming soon.
4. You'll be redirected to Google's sign-in page. Choose the Google account you want to use.
5. Review and approve the permissions, then you'll be redirected back to StarLovin.
6. Your account will appear in Connected Accounts with an active status.

Only workspace owners and admins can connect or update calendar integrations. You can connect multiple Google accounts, such as work and personal, to check availability across all of them.

Setting Up Conflict Checking

Once connected, choose which calendars StarLovin should check before offering times on your booking page:

1. Under the connected Google account, find Check for conflicts.
2. Check each calendar you want StarLovin to consider, such as your primary calendar or a shared team calendar.
3. StarLovin automatically blocks times that overlap with busy events on those calendars.

This means if you have a dentist appointment on your personal calendar and a team meeting on your work calendar, neither time slot will be offered to invitees.

Choosing Where New Events Are Created

When someone books a meeting, StarLovin creates a calendar event on your behalf. You control which connected account receives new events:

1. In the Add Events To card, select the Google account from the dropdown.
2. New bookings will appear as events on that account's primary calendar, with the invitee added as an attendee.

Only one account can be the destination for new events at a time. StarLovin calls this the calendar write target.

Google Meet Links

If an event type uses Google Meet as a location, StarLovin generates a unique Meet link when a booking is confirmed. The link is included in the calendar invite and confirmation emails sent to you and the invitee.

Google Meet requires an active Google Calendar connection and an Add Events To account selected. If your calendar is disconnected or no write target is selected, Google Meet event types cannot generate meeting links until calendar setup is fixed.

Disconnecting Your Google Calendar

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Calendars.
2. Click Disconnect next to the account you want to remove.
3. Confirm in the dialog that appears.

After disconnecting:

• Existing bookings and their calendar events are not affected.
• New bookings won't sync to that calendar.
• If the disconnected account was your Add Events To account, select a new write target before bookings can create calendar events.
• You can reconnect at any time.

Permissions

StarLovin requests access to read and write to your Google Calendar. This is used to:

• Read your calendar events to check for scheduling conflicts.
• Create, update, and delete calendar events when bookings are made, rescheduled, or canceled.
• Generate Google Meet links for virtual meetings.

StarLovin does not access your emails, contacts, or any other Google services.

Troubleshooting

My connection shows as inactive This usually means your Google authorization has expired or been revoked. Click the reconnect link next to the inactive account to re-authorize.

Invitees can still book during times I'm busy Make sure the calendar containing your busy events is checked under Check for conflicts. If you have events on multiple calendars, check all of them.

Google Meet links aren't being generated Verify that your event type's location is set to Google Meet, that you have an active Google Calendar connection, and that an Add Events To account is selected.

I connected the wrong Google account Disconnect the incorrect account and click Connect again to sign in with the right one.
