Google Calendar

Connect Google Calendar to let Dlopo create calendar events for confirmed bookings and, when needed, generate Google Meet links. The connection belongs to the Google account you authorize.

Current limitation: Dlopo does not currently read busy events from Google Calendar or offer a calendar picker. Availability is based on your Dlopo schedule, booking rules, and existing Dlopo bookings. New Google events are created on the connected account’s primary calendar.

Before You Begin

You need:

• A Google account with permission to use Google Calendar.
• Access to the booking link you want to configure.
• Google Meet access on the same Google account if you want Dlopo to generate Meet links.

Google Calendar and Google Meet use one shared Google authorization in Dlopo. You do not connect Meet separately.

Connect Google Calendar

1. Open a booking link in Dlopo.
2. Open Integrations.
3. Select Google Calendar.
4. Click Connect Google Calendar.
5. Choose the Google account you want to use.
6. Review Google’s permission screen and approve access.
7. Return to Dlopo.

The integration displays Connected when authorization succeeds. Dlopo also stores the email address of the authorized Google account so it can show which account is in use.

Permissions Dlopo Requests

Google asks you to allow Dlopo to:

• Create and manage calendar events created through the integration.
• Read the email address of the Google account you authorize.

Dlopo requests offline access so the connection can refresh without asking you to sign in for every booking. It does not currently request permission to read your calendar’s free/busy information.

How Availability Conflict Checking Works

Connecting Google Calendar does not currently block times because of events already in Google Calendar. Dlopo calculates available times from:

• The schedule assigned to the booking link.
• Date ranges, minimum notice, buffers, and other booking rules.
• Existing Dlopo bookings for the host.
• Capacity rules when seats are enabled.

To prevent a Google Calendar commitment from being offered, update your Dlopo schedule or block the time with a Dlopo booking. Do not rely on a busy Google event to remove the slot.

Where Confirmed Bookings Are Written

Dlopo currently writes supported confirmed bookings to the connected Google account’s primary calendar. There is no destination-calendar selector in the current app.

Calendar writeback occurs for confirmed self-scheduled bookings, fixed-time bookings, and “going” RSVP bookings when the booking link uses Google Meet or the supported Zoom location flow. A standard booking with another location does not currently create a Google Calendar event through this integration.

The event uses the booking link title, start time, end time, and host time zone. Guest responses or notes may be included unless Hide notes in calendar is enabled.

Cancellation and rescheduling in Dlopo do not currently update or delete an event that was already created in Google Calendar. Review the Google event separately after changing the booking.

Use Google Calendar With Google Meet

When a booking link uses Google Meet as its location, Dlopo asks Google Calendar to create the calendar event and attach a new Meet conference. Dlopo saves the returned Meet URL on the booking and includes it in the host and guest booking details.

If Google does not return a Meet link, Dlopo does not keep the booking. The guest sees an error and can try again after the host reconnects Google Calendar.

Reconnect Google Calendar

Reconnect when Google access was revoked, authorization expired, the connected account changed, or Meet link creation fails.

1. Open the booking link.
2. Open Integrations.
3. Select Google Calendar.
4. Click Reconnect.
5. Choose the intended Google account and approve access again.

Reconnecting replaces the active authorization with the account approved during the new Google flow.

Disconnect Google Calendar

1. Open Integrations on the booking link.
2. Find Google Calendar.
3. Click the remove button.
4. Confirm Disconnect.

Disconnecting clears the saved Google authorization and also makes Google Meet unavailable because both integrations share the connection. It does not delete calendar events or Meet rooms that Google already created.

Fix Connection or Writeback Problems

If the integration does not show Connected, repeat the connection and finish Google’s consent flow. Make sure you return to Dlopo instead of closing the Google window.

If a Meet booking reports that Google Calendar is not connected or could not return a Meet link:

1. Reconnect Google Calendar.
2. Confirm that the displayed Google account is the one you intended to use.
3. Confirm that the account can create Google Calendar events and Google Meet conferences.
4. Save the booking link and complete a test booking.

If a confirmed time still appears free, remember that Google busy events are not currently used for conflict checking. Adjust the Dlopo schedule or booking rules instead.
