> Link your Google calendars to your Bigly availabilities so meetings stay in sync and you're never double-booked.

The Google integration links your Google calendars to your Bigly [availabilities](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/availability.md). Each team member connects their own Google account. Once a Google calendar is linked to an availability:

- Events on that Google calendar appear in Bigly, and changes made in Google update automatically.
- Meetings deleted in Bigly are removed from Google Calendar too.

## Before you start

- Create the availability you want to link. See [Availability](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/availability.md).
- Sign in to Bigly as the user whose Google calendar you're connecting.

## Connect your Google account

1. Open the user menu (your initials, top right) and click **Integrations**.
2. On the **Google** tile, click **Connect**.
3. Sign in to Google and allow access to your calendars.
4. You return to **Integrations**. Click **Options** on the **Google** tile.

## Link a Google calendar to an availability

The options screen lists each calendar in your Google account.

1. Find the Google calendar you want to link.
2. Choose a Bigly availability in its **Availability:** dropdown.
3. Click **Connect** next to it.

If you click **Connect** without choosing an availability, Bigly shows *Please select availability*.

## Sync now

New changes in Google arrive on their own. To pull everything in right away, for example just after connecting:

1. Click **Sync** next to the linked calendar.
2. Bigly imports events from now up to about two months ahead.

## Disconnect

1. To unlink one calendar, click **Disconnect** next to it.
2. To remove the Google account completely, first disconnect every calendar, then click the **Disconnect** button at the bottom and confirm with **Yes, Disable it!**

If any calendar is still linked, Bigly shows *Please disconnect all calendar before integration disconnect*.

## Troubleshooting

**The Availability dropdown is greyed out.** That calendar is already linked. Disconnect it first to choose a different availability.

**An event made in Google isn't showing.** Click **Sync** next to the calendar. Check you're looking at the right availability and user on the [Main calendar](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/calendar.md).

**Recurring events look incomplete.** Recurring Google events are imported a few months ahead at a time. Later ones appear as time moves on.
