Connect Google Calendar

Google Calendar runs on your Google connection. Once Google is connected, Chief can read your calendars and events, create and update events, move and delete them, and send RSVPs — from a chat.

​
Connect from a chat

  1. Ask Chief something calendar-related, for example “what’s on my calendar tomorrow?”
  2. If Google isn’t connected, a Connect Google card appears. Click Connect Google.
  3. If you’re signed out, a sign-up window opens first; complete it and the connection resumes.
  4. Approve the access on Google’s consent screen.
  5. Google returns you to Chief and the request continues.
⚠️ Important: If you connected Google for email earlier but calendar still doesn’t work, Chief shows “Reconnect Google to grant Calendar access.” Click Connect Google again and approve the calendar permission.

​
What Chief can do once connected

  • Read — list your calendars (including your primary calendar) and show events, attendees, and all-day events.
  • Create — create an event, optionally adding a Google Meet link and notifying attendees.
  • Update & move — change event details or move an event to another calendar.
  • Delete — remove an event.
  • RSVP — respond to an invite as Yes, attending, No, not attending, or Maybe.

​
Approving actions

Calendar changes show a confirmation card first — for example Create this event?, Update this event?, Move this event?, Delete this event?, or Send this RSVP? — with the event details, a Notify attendees option where relevant, and an Approve button. You can let Create & edit events run without asking each time from the tools panel.

​
FAQ

Your Google connection has email access but not calendar access — a common cause of integration trouble. Click Connect Google on the card and approve the calendar permission to add it.
Only if you choose to. The confirmation card includes a Notify attendees toggle so you control whether invitees are emailed about the change.
