Connect Google Calendar

Sync your events with your calendar

Connect Google Calendar

Connecting Google Calendar to Joinways lets you see your Joinways events directly in your Google calendar. Sync is outbound: events created or modified in Joinways appear in Google Calendar.

How to connect

Go to Settings > Integrations > Calendars tab.
Click Connect Google Calendar.
Authorize Joinways via the Google sign-in window.
Select the calendar(s) to sync with.

💡 Your Google Calendar now shows Joinways events. New events created in Joinways will appear within a few minutes.

What is synced

For each Joinways event, an event is created in Google Calendar with:

The event title.
Dates and times.
Venue and space.
A description with key information.

Sync direction

Sync is one-way: Joinways → Google Calendar. Events created or modified in Joinways are reflected in Google Calendar. Events created directly in Google Calendar are not imported into Joinways.

💡 If you add notes to the Google Calendar event description, they'll be preserved during the next update from Joinways.

Disconnect

Go to Settings > Integrations > Calendars tab and click Disconnect. Already synced events remain in Google Calendar.

Best practices

Select a dedicated calendar during setup (e.g., 'Joinways Events') rather than your main calendar. This lets you show or hide Joinways events as needed without cluttering your personal agenda.

💡 Enable Google Calendar notifications on this calendar to get reminders before each Joinways event.

Troubleshooting

Events don't appear in Google Calendar?

Check that the connection is active in Settings > Integrations. If active, verify the correct calendar is selected and visible in your Google Calendar app (checkbox checked in the sidebar).

An event modified in Joinways wasn't updated in Google Calendar?

Sync may take a few minutes. If after 15 minutes the update hasn't appeared, try disconnecting and reconnecting the Google Calendar integration.

FAQ

Can I sync multiple Google Calendars?

Yes, during setup you can select which calendar(s) to sync Joinways events to. Choose a dedicated calendar to keep your personal and professional events separate.

Does deleting an event in Joinways remove it from Google Calendar?

Deleted or cancelled events in Joinways are updated in Google Calendar. However, if the sync is temporarily disconnected, some stale entries may remain.

Is the sync instant?

Sync happens automatically on each event creation or modification in Joinways. A slight delay of a few seconds is normal.
