What to Do If Calendly Doesn’t Sync with Google Calendar

Calendly usually syncs seamlessly, but if your availability isn’t showing or events are missing, try these quick fixes:

• Check Google Calendar permissions: Calendly must have full access, not just read-only.
• Reconnect the integration: Disconnect and reauthorize your Google account inside Calendly.
• Avoid hidden conflicts: Busy events, all-day entries, or overlapping meetings may block availability.
• Use Apphug to troubleshoot: Apphug helps identify and fix sync issues between Calendly and Google Calendar by monitoring your integration.

Also, make sure the right calendar is set as your default for availability checks and event creation inside Calendly.

Managing Availability and Reminders

Once your calendar is synced, take a moment to fine-tune your availability and notifications:

• Block time in Google Calendar to prevent bookings during personal or focus periods.
• Set working hours in Calendly under each event type for full control.
• Enable reminders to send email or SMS notifications before meetings — you can choose how far in advance they’re sent.

These settings ensure your calendar reflects when you're truly available and helps avoid no-shows.

Does Calendly Adjust for Time Zones?

Yes — Calendly automatically adjusts for time zones for both you and your invitees. This ensures scheduled events appear in each person's local time without manual conversion.

For global coordination:

• Use confirmation emails to verify time zones.
• Avoid complex availability settings unless necessary for managing time across regions.

This built-in feature helps remote teams and international users schedule effortlessly.
