Google Calendar Integration
Connect your Google Calendar for bidirectional sync and automatic Google Meet links.
Overview
Google Calendar integration allows you to sync your Mindora calendar with Google Calendar. Sessions and personal areas appear in Google Calendar, and your Google events appear as blocked time in Mindora.
What Gets Synced
Synchronization works in both directions:
Mindora → Google
- Sessions you schedule are sent to Google Calendar with the client name and service, so each busy slot is clear at a glance.
- Personal areas you create in Mindora are also written to your Google Calendar as their own events.
Google → Mindora
- Events from your Google Calendar appear on your Mindora calendar as Google events, shown in orange with a "G" badge, and mark those hours as busy.
- You can edit or delete these Google events directly inside Mindora, and the change reflects back to Google Calendar instantly.
