Google Calendar

Connect your Google Calendar, and your Google events show in your Quanty Calendar while your Quanty meetings appear in your Google Calendar. "Your Google Calendar and your Quanty calendar in one place. The connection is private to you."

Before you start

• The Calendar add-on. Google Calendar is part of the Calendar, so your organization needs the Calendar add-on or its trial (see The Calendar add-on).
• Your own connection. Each person connects their own Google account, and nobody else can use it. Members and admins can connect; viewers cannot.
• One Google account per organization. Connecting a different Google account later replaces the first one.
• Google Workspace. If your company uses Google Workspace, its IT admin may have to allow Quanty first: send them Google Workspace for admins.
• Separate from Gmail. Connecting Gmail does not connect your calendar, and the other way round.

Connect Google Calendar

You can connect in two places:

• in the Calendar, under Settings (the gear), section Google Calendar: Connect ("Sign in once with your Google account.");
• on the Integrations page, on the Google Calendar card.

Then:

1. Before anything goes to Google, Quanty shows Connect Google Calendar: what Quanty will do, what it will never do, Google's Limited Use statement with a link to Google's policy, and a link to our Privacy Policy.
   • What Quanty will do: "See the events in your primary Google Calendar, so they show in your Quanty calendar and colleagues see when you are busy, never the details." and "Add, update and remove your Quanty meetings in your Google Calendar."
   • What Quanty will never do: "Change or delete your other Google Calendar events.", "Invite or email anyone from your Google Calendar." and "Sell your data or use it for advertising."
2. Click Continue to Google. If you close the notice instead, nothing happens.
3. Choose your Google account and allow access to your calendar.
4. You come back to Quanty: "Google Calendar is connected", "Your Google events show here within a few minutes."

If the connection did not work, "Google Calendar was not connected" says why:

The connection

In the Calendar's Settings, section Google Calendar, a connected calendar shows:

• "Connected as anna@example.com", and when it last synced ("The first sync is on its way" right after connecting).
• Sync now, which fetches your Google events at once instead of waiting for the next round.
• Disconnect (see Disconnect).
• When Google no longer accepts your sign-in, for example after you removed Quanty in your Google Account: "Google no longer accepts your sign-in, so your Google events are not updating. Connect again to continue." with Reconnect.
• "Google Calendar is not set up for Quanty yet" means Quanty's connection to Google is switched off. There is nothing to do on your side.

From Google to Quanty

• Which events. Those in your primary Google calendar, from 30 days back to 180 days ahead. Other calendars in your Google account are not included.
• How often. Every 5 minutes, right after you connect, and when you click Sync now.
• Only you see them. They show in your Quanty Calendar marked "From Google Calendar". Click one for its time and place, "From your Google Calendar. Change it there." and Open in Google Calendar. You cannot change, move or answer them in Quanty. A tentative event says "Tentative".
• Colleagues see busy time only. In Meet with... and when someone invites you, a Google event is just busy time: never its title, place or anything else, even when you share your calendar with the organization (see Share your calendar). Events set to free in Google do not count as busy.
• Quanty AI. When you ask Quanty AI in Chat about your calendar, it sees your Google events too, and cannot change them. A colleague's Quanty AI sees them only as busy time.
• Left out: events you declined, working location and birthday events, and the Quanty meetings Quanty wrote into your Google Calendar or Gmail added there from a Quanty invitation, so nothing shows twice.
• Many events. When a view holds more Google events than Quanty shows at once: "Not every Google Calendar event fits in this view. Pick a shorter one."

From Quanty to Google

• Which events. The events in your Quanty Calendar that you organize or are invited to, unless you declined them or were removed from them.
• What is copied. The title, the time with its time zone or all day, repeats, the place, the description and the meeting link. An event marked Private in Quanty is private in Google too, and the copy shows you as busy or free like the event.
• Changes follow. When the event changes, the copy changes. When it is cancelled, or you decline it or are removed from it, the copy is deleted.
• Nobody is invited. The copy has no guests, and Google sends no invitation or update to anyone. The invitations still come from Quanty (see Invite people).
• No doubles. If Gmail already put a Quanty invitation into your Google Calendar, Quanty takes over that event instead of adding a second one.
• When you connect, your Quanty events of the next 180 days are added.
• Change Quanty meetings in Quanty. What you change in the copy in Google does not come back to Quanty.

Disconnect

Disconnect in the Calendar's Settings, section Google Calendar, asks: "Disconnect Google Calendar?" "Your Google events stop showing in Quanty. Meetings already added to your Google Calendar stay there."

• Your Google events disappear from Quanty, and Quanty deletes what it kept of them.
• The Quanty meetings already in your Google Calendar stay there, and Quanty no longer updates them. Delete them in Google if you do not want them.
• Quanty asks Google to end its access, unless another Quanty connection of the same Google account still uses it, such as your Gmail mailbox or the Google Workspace import: then Google's access stays until you remove that one too.
• You can also remove Quanty at myaccount.google.com/permissions. That ends Quanty's access to Google Calendar, Gmail and the Google Workspace import of that account at once, and the settings then offer Reconnect.
• Disconnect always works, also when the Calendar add-on is off.
• When you leave the organization, are removed from it, or delete your Quanty account, your Google Calendar connection ends too, and this time Quanty also deletes from your Google Calendar the copies of this organization's Quanty meetings it wrote there. It then asks Google to end its access, again unless another Quanty connection of the same Google account still uses it.

When the Calendar add-on is off

When the Calendar locks (see When the trial ends), your Google Calendar connection rests: nothing is synced in either direction, and it cannot be connected. Once an admin adds the Calendar, syncing starts again by itself. Disconnect still works.

What Quanty keeps

Google user data is never used for advertising, never sold and never used to train AI models. The full rules are in section 9 of the Privacy policy and on How Quanty uses Google user data.
