Updated August 4, 2026

Google Calendar Integration

Connect your Google Calendar to Marmend to sync your events, schedule meetings, and manage your calendar directly from the platform.

What You Can Do

With Google Calendar integration, you can:

  • View all your calendars in one place
  • Sync events automatically - changes in Google Calendar appear in Marmend
  • Create meetings with Google Meet links
  • Check availability for scheduling
  • Connect multiple Google accounts
  • See team calendars (if your organization uses Domain-Wide Delegation)

Connecting Your Personal Google Calendar

Each user can connect their own Google Calendar to see their events in Marmend.

Step 1: Go to Calendar Settings

  1. Click on Calendar in the left sidebar
  2. Click the Settings icon (gear) or go to Calendar Settings
  3. You'll see the "Connected accounts" section

Step 2: Add Your Google Account

  1. Click Connect calendar
  2. A modal will appear - select Google as your calendar provider
  3. Click Next
  4. You'll be redirected to Google's sign-in page
  5. Sign in with your Google account (or select an existing account)
  6. Review the permissions Marmend is requesting:
    • View your calendars
    • View and edit calendar events
    • Create Google Meet links
  7. Click Allow to grant access

Step 3: Verify Connection

After connecting, you'll return to Calendar Settings where you should see:

  • Your Google account listed under "Connected accounts"
  • Your Google email address displayed
  • A delete button to remove the connection if needed

Viewing Your Calendar

Once connected, your Google Calendar events will appear in Marmend:

  1. Go to Calendar in the left sidebar
  2. Your Google Calendar events will sync automatically
  3. Events are color-coded based on your Google Calendar colors

  1. Click Create Event in the Calendar view
  2. Fill in event details (title, date, time, attendees)
  3. Check the Add Google Meet option
  4. Save the event

The event will be created in your Google Calendar with an automatic Google Meet link that all attendees can use.

Managing Multiple Google Accounts

You can connect multiple Google accounts to Marmend:

  1. Go to Calendar Settings
  2. In the "Connected accounts" section, click Connect calendar
  3. Select Google and sign in with a different Google account
  4. Both accounts will now sync their calendars

Selecting Which Calendars to Display

In Calendar Settings, you can choose which calendars from each connected account to show or hide in your calendar view.

Disconnecting Your Google Calendar

If you need to disconnect your Google Calendar:

  1. Go to Calendar Settings
  2. Find your Google account in the "Connected accounts" list
  3. Click the delete button next to it
  4. Confirm the disconnection

What Happens When You Disconnect

  • Events already synced will remain in Marmend's history
  • New Google Calendar changes will stop syncing
  • You can reconnect at any time

Domain-Wide Delegation (Organization Feature)

Domain-Wide Delegation is an organization-level feature that allows Marmend to access calendars for all users in your Google Workspace without requiring each person to connect individually.

For Administrators

Domain-Wide Delegation is configured in Administration > Integrations:

  1. Click on Administration in the left sidebar
  2. Select Integrations
  3. Find the Google Calendar card
  4. The card shows the connection status for Domain-Wide Delegation
  5. If not configured, click for setup instructions (links to documentation)

Note: Setting up Domain-Wide Delegation requires:

  • Google Workspace Admin access
  • Service account configuration in Google Cloud Console
  • Authorization in Google Workspace Admin Console

See the technical documentation for detailed setup instructions.

For Users

If your organization has Domain-Wide Delegation enabled:

  • Your calendar events may be visible to the system without you needing to connect
  • This is used for features like automatic meeting bot scheduling
  • Your personal calendar connection (above) is still separate and gives you control over what you see

Troubleshooting
