# Connect Google and read your calendar

> Connect Google Workspace, ask Willo what's on your calendar, add an event with a confirm, and what to do when you want this on a schedule.

This takes about five minutes. You need to be an owner or admin of the business, and connectors need to be open for it (see [early access](https://www.willo.ai/docs/connectors/get-started)).

## 1. Connect Google Workspace

1. Open **Settings** in the left rail, then **Connections**.
2. On the **Google Workspace** card, click **Connect**.
3. On Google's screen, pick the Google account whose calendar you want Willo to read. Use a shared business account if your team will ask about it too: everyone on the business uses the one connection.
4. Review what Google lists, which covers Calendar, Docs, Sheets and the Drive files you choose, and click **Allow**.
5. Back on **Connections**, the card says **Connected**.

If the card says **Connected — needs more access**, Google was given less than Willo asked for, usually because a box was unticked. Click **Grant access** and allow the rest.

## 2. Ask about your calendar

In Willo's chat, ask in plain words:

- "What's on my calendar tomorrow?"
- "When am I free for an hour next week?"
- "List this month's events with 'client' in the title."

Willo reads the calendar and answers. Reads never ask for confirmation.

## 3. Add an event

Ask: "Put a 30-minute call with Sam on Friday at 2pm on my calendar."

Willo shows a card, **Google Calendar · Create event**, with the title, the time and any attendees. Check it and confirm. An event can send invitations, so every calendar change asks, every time, and there is no **Always allow** for it.

If you mention an attendee's email, Google sends them an invitation from your account when you confirm.

## 4. Use it with your site and documents

The calendar works alongside the rest of the business. For example:

- "Write a Google Doc summarising next week's bookings." Creating a new doc doesn't ask.
- "Draft a blog post announcing the workshops on my calendar this month." The post is drafted in your CMS, from what the calendar says.

## On a schedule

Connected accounts work in Willo's chat, not in Agent Programs. For calendar work that repeats:

- **Ask in chat** when you need it. A quick "What's on this week?" on Monday morning reads the live calendar.
- **Let your calendar tool start a program.** Many booking tools, such as Cal.com, can call a URL when a booking is made. Point that at a program's [webhook](https://www.willo.ai/docs/agent-programs/webhook-triggers), and the program runs on each booking with the booking's details as its input.

## Disconnect when you're done

To take the access back, open **Settings → Connections**, click **Disconnect** on the Google Workspace card, and confirm. See [Consent and disconnecting](https://www.willo.ai/docs/connectors/consent-and-disconnecting).
