Connecting Google Calendar to Homerun

2. Click Integrations in the Customize section

3. Click Google Calendar

4. Click Connect Google Calendar. From here, you’ll be prompted to log into your Google account and grant access to your calendar:

You can now start creating events that will automatically show up in your Google calendar. Want to learn more about creating and managing events? Read more.

The calendar you’ve connected will be your default calendar for events. Besides that, when creating a new event within a candidate profile, it’s possible to select your preferred calendar in the dropdown menu:

How changes to events are reflected in Google Calendar

Note: if an event is set up with a Google calendar integration, it can only be edited by users that also have set up the Google calendar feature ánd have access to the same calendar that the event was created in.

Changing event details

Changes made to your events—such as date, time, duration, or cancellation—within Homerun and Google Calendar will sync with each other, reflecting updates in both platforms.

Moving events to a different calendar

The organizer of the event is the only person who can move the event to a different calendar after the event has been created. If the organizer moves the event to a different calendar, attendees won’t receive any notifications. However, attendees can still view the event without the ability to make changes. The organizer will always have access to the event, except if they lose access to the Google Calendar it's attached to. This situation may occur if a colleague revokes the organizer's access to a Google Calendar they were previously part of.

Deleting the Google Calendar integration

1. From anywhere in the tool, click Settings in the sidebar

2. Click Integrations in the Customize section

3. Click Google Calendar

4. Click Remove and then Confirm:

The Goole Calendar integration has now been deleted. Good to know is that if the organizer of an event decides to remove/delete the Google Calendar integration, the event will still be visible in the calendar, but updates will not be reflected in the calendar anymore.
