5. Sign in with your Google account and you are connected.

6. (Optional) Open the Calendars tab of the connected integration. Under Sync settings you get two toggles:

   • Sync private appointments: enable it if you want Sally to sync your private appointments as well.
   • Only sync online meetings: enable it if you only want to sync appointments that carry an online meeting link, for example Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or Zoom.

Below that, Synced calendars shows which calendars Sally includes. Your main calendar is marked as Primary calendar, and you can add further calendars such as public holidays one by one. Use Disconnect in the top right corner to remove the integration again.

7. Once connected, you will see all your appointments in Sally.

Info

Synchronization may take a few moments. Restart Sally if necessary.

Once the connection is in place, you can set whether and when Sally should automatically join your meetings.

Whether a calendar may be connected at all is up to owners and admins, see managing calendars for your users.
