# Google Calendar

> Connect Google Calendar for free: your booking pages offer only your free times, each booking lands on your calendar with a Google Meet link, and meetings with contacts stop their follow-ups.

Connect your Google Calendar to Kerux with your Google sign-in. It is free and needs no email inbox. Then:

* Your [booking pages](/help/campaigns/booking-page.md) only offer times when your calendar is free.
* Each booking is added to your calendar with a Google Meet link.
* When a meeting with a contact appears (from your booking page, Calendly, a Google appointment schedule or an invite you sent yourself), the campaign's **When a meeting is booked** box runs.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **How it connects:** built into Kerux, with your Google sign-in. Nothing to copy and no Zapier. Kerux asks Google for two things only: to see and edit the events of your calendars, and to see the list of your calendars.

## Before you start

* **Kerux plan:** meetings are part of Pro and Agency, and of the free trial.
* **A Google account** with Google Calendar. One per teammate in each workspace.

## 1. Connect the calendar

**1. Open Connected calendars**

Click **Meetings** in the menu, then **Connected calendars**.

**2. Connect Google Calendar**

Click **Connect Google Calendar** (it says **Free**) and sign in with Google. When Google lists what Kerux asks for, tick both calendar boxes and click **Continue**.

**3. Check it**

You're back on **Connected calendars** with **Google Calendar connected**. Your account shows under **Your calendars** with **On**, **Free connection**, **Checked for conflicts** and **Gets new meetings**.

Already connected your Gmail inbox for email? You can also click **Turn on calendar** on its row: it uses the same account, at no extra cost.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Availability:** the free Google Calendar connection is not yet available on every account. Accounts without it see **Google Calendar connection: coming soon** with the options available today. When you connect, Google may show **Google hasn't verified this app**: click **Advanced**, then **Go to Kerux (unsafe)** to continue. Google may also end the connection after a few days; Kerux then shows **Reconnect**.

## 2. Decide what happens

In each campaign, the **When a meeting is booked** box (in **Always on**) runs for every meeting with one of its contacts. New campaigns start with **Remove from campaign**. Add a **Slack message** or **Add tags**, or **Send to another campaign** for a pre-meeting sequence. Messages can use `{{meeting.start}}`, `{{meeting.title}}` and `{{meeting.link}}`.

Which meetings count: those with a contact among the guests, matched by email. A meeting with nobody else on it (an all-day reminder, an out-of-office) never counts. Kerux looks at your calendar every few minutes, so a meeting you add or change in Google Calendar shows in Kerux within about 5 minutes.

## Google Meet transcripts

Under **Meetings** > **Connected calendars** > **Call recordings**, click **Turn on** on **Google Meet transcripts** and tick the extra box on Google's screen. After each meeting with a contact that has a Meet link, Kerux adds the transcript Meet saved to the contact and summarizes the call. Transcripts need a Google Workspace plan that includes them, with **Transcripts** turned on during the call. See [Call transcripts and summaries](/help/campaigns/call-transcripts.md).

## Changes you make in Google Calendar

* **You move a booking's event**: the booking moves too, and that time is free again on your booking pages.
* **You delete a booking's event**: the booking is cancelled in Kerux. Google Calendar tells the guest; Kerux sends nothing more.
* **Events marked Free** in Google Calendar, and invitations you declined, don't block time.

## Test with one contact

Send a calendar invite from that Google account to the email of a contact in a running campaign. Within about 5 minutes the contact's timeline shows the meeting and the campaign's box runs.

## Disconnect

In **Meetings** > **Connected calendars**, click **Manage** on its row, then **Turn off calendar**. Kerux gives the access back to Google (it disappears from your Google account's third-party connections), forgets the meetings it brought and stops offering your times on booking pages. Bookings already made stay.

## Common errors

> [accordion] The row says Reconnect
>
> Google no longer lets Kerux use this calendar: you removed Kerux from your Google account, changed your password, or the connection expired. Click **Reconnect** and sign in again. Your booking pages keep the calendar and offer your times again right away.

> [accordion] Google didn't give Kerux the calendar permissions
>
> One of the boxes on Google's screen wasn't ticked. Click **Connect Google Calendar** again and tick both calendar boxes.

> [accordion] You already connected a calendar of your own in this workspace
>
> Each teammate connects one Google account per workspace. To use another one, open the first one's **Manage**, click **Turn off calendar**, then connect the new one.

> [accordion] A meeting with a contact didn't count
>
> The guest's email isn't the contact's email. Add the email to the contact, or use a booking tool's webhook, which also catches possible meetings.
