How do I connect my Google or Outlook calendar?

Connect your calendar and LCH Core does two things for you. It checks your calendar for busy times, so nobody can book you when you’re already busy. And it adds your coaching sessions to your calendar as they’re booked.

You can connect Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, or both.

How to connect Google Calendar

1. Click your profile picture at the top right, then click Settings.
2. Click the Integrations tab.
3. Click Google Calendar.
4. Click Connect Google Account, sign in to Google and allow access.
5. Under Calendars to check for conflicts, pick every calendar that should block your time. Work, personal, family, whatever you use.
6. Under Calendar to add events to, pick the calendar your sessions should go into. It has to be a calendar you own.
7. Click Save Calendar Settings.

How to connect Outlook Calendar

Follow the same steps, but click Outlook Calendar in step 3 and Connect Outlook Account in step 4.

Good to know

• Only the calendars you pick block your time. Busy events on calendars you leave unticked won’t stop bookings.
• Got more than one Google calendar? Only one may be picked at first. Add the others under Calendars to check for conflicts, or their events won’t block your time.
• Google Meet comes with it. Once Google is connected, choose Google Meet as a session’s location and the meeting link is added for you.
• See “Sessions not syncing”? Go back to the Integrations tab, open your calendar and pick your calendars again.
• Set this up on the web. Calendar syncing is set up in your browser, not in the mobile app.
