Can I sync to/from my Google Calendar?

Yes! You can sync the platform to your Google Calendar so that all the tasks, Events, and Appointments from the platform also appear there alongside your Google Events.

All Staff Roles, as well as Prospects and Clients, have the ability to sync to their own Google Calendar in their individual accounts. However, you can choose to disable this menu from your Staff Members or Contacts in your Company Profile / Settings.

You’ll be asked to enable the specific permissions granted to My Portal App.

What is My Portal App?

When you are connecting your Google account, you’ll see that you are authorizing “My Portal App” to work with your Google account – What is “My Portal App”? Keep reading 🙂

In an effort to be sure the setup for all of our Integrations is as White Label as possible, we engineered an entirely secure micro-service architecture that is approved by Google & works in the background to let us show the generic “My Portal App” integration (to your staff/clients) during the authentication phase. But, all the data is connected and shared with the platform via the integration micro-service.

So, whenever you see My Portal App, just know that it’s completely secure and can be trusted. It’s just another way that we go ABOVE & BEYOND with EXTREME WHITE LABEL to protect your brand!

Authorizing the appropriate Access

For the 2-WAY Calendar Sync to work correctly, you will need to manually check 3 boxes to allow those specific granular permissions. You should check those 3 boxes.
