# Connect Google Calendar

> Connect a Google account, choose a writable calendar, and let LobbyStack use it for appointment availability and booking sync.

Google Calendar lets LobbyStack read calendar availability, create booking events, and track calendar sync state for appointments. It also helps LobbyStack cancel or reschedule appointments automatically when appointment changes are enabled.

<Note>
  Connect Google Calendar after you add the services callers can request. This gives LobbyStack a calendar for checking availability, adding bookings, and syncing approved appointment changes.
</Note>

## How the integration works

LobbyStack uses Google OAuth. You connect a Google account, LobbyStack stores the connection securely, and you select the calendar that should receive bookings. The integration can also sync busy time so LobbyStack avoids offering unavailable slots for new bookings and reschedule requests.

## Connect Google Calendar

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    In the dashboard, open **Integrations**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start Google connection">
    Find **Google Calendar** and click **Connect**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Google">
    Sign in to Google and approve the requested calendar permissions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a calendar">
    After returning to LobbyStack, click the connected Google card, choose a calendar from the dropdown, and click **Save calendar**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Change the selected calendar

1. Open **Integrations**.
2. Click the Google Calendar card.
3. Choose another calendar.
4. Click **Save calendar**.

LobbyStack uses the newly selected calendar for future availability checks and bookings.

## Reconnect or disconnect

If Google access expires or is revoked, the card shows that reconnect is required. Click **Reconnect Google** and complete OAuth again.

To remove the integration, open the Google Calendar card and click **Disconnect**. LobbyStack removes the current connection for bookings.
