Connect Google Calendar

Authorize a Google account and choose which Google calendars appear and synchronize in Harmonise.

Before you begin

  • A Google account with Calendar access

Connect Google Calendar to see your Google events alongside your other plans in Harmonise.

If you have permission to edit a Google calendar, Harmonise can also sync supported event changes back to Google Calendar.

Before you begin

You will be asked to sign in through Google and approve access to your calendars.

Harmonise does not ask you to enter your Google password directly into Harmonise.

Your Google connection shares the same connected-account allowance as Outlook, Apple, Yahoo, and CalDAV accounts.

On mobile

  1. Open Settings > Calendars.
  2. Under Calendar integrations, select Connect Google Calendar.
  3. Choose your Google account.
  4. Review and approve the requested access.
  5. Return to Harmonise and wait for your calendars to appear.

If you cancel the Google sign-in process, no connection is created.

After connecting

Your connection may briefly show Pending while Harmonise verifies your account and finds your calendars.

Once connected, you can:

  • Show or hide calendars
  • Turn Sync on or off
  • Choose an eligible default calendar
  • Map connected calendars to calendars in Harmonise

See Choose calendars from a connected account for more information.

Editing Google Calendar events

What you can change depends on your access to each Google calendar.

Calendars such as public holiday calendars or calendars shared with view-only access are read-only.

Calendars you can edit may support creating, editing, and deleting events from Harmonise.

Recurring events may ask whether you want to change one occurrence or more of the series.

Tasks remain Harmonise Tasks and do not become Google Tasks.

Names and colours

Connected calendar names and colours are controlled by Google Calendar.

Make changes in Google Calendar first, then select Refresh calendars in Harmonise.

Calendars created directly in Harmonise can be renamed and recoloured in Harmonise.

Refresh or sync your calendars

Use Refresh calendars when you add, remove, rename, share, or change access to a Google calendar.

Use Sync now if an existing calendar is connected but its events appear out of date.

Some changes may take a short while to appear.

Disconnect or reconnect

Select Disconnect on the Google account card to stop syncing that account with Harmonise.

If the connection shows Error or Revoked, reconnect the same Google account and review your calendar settings again.

If your organisation prevents Google Calendar access, you may need approval from your Google Workspace administrator.
