# Connect, sync and disconnect Google Calendar

> Connect your Google Calendar to Time with read-only access, sync it on demand, and disconnect it whenever you like.

Source: https://docs.moodiri.com/time-tracking/connect-google-calendar

## Why use it

Connecting your calendar is a one-time step that lets your events show up on your
timesheet as suggestions. Access is read-only, so you can turn it on without worrying
about Moodiri changing your schedule.

## When to use it

- **Setting up Time** for the first time.
- **Switching Google accounts,** by disconnecting and connecting the other one.
- **After Google access expires,** when the badge says **Permission expired**.

## Before you start

- Open **Time**. You land on **My time**.
- Have your Google account sign-in ready.

1. On **My time**, choose the sources button beside the week picker to open **Sources & sync**.
2. Under **Sources**, find **Google Calendar** and choose **Connect Google**.
3. Sign in to Google and allow read-only access. You come back here and the status reads **Connected**.
4. Turn on **Only accepted events** to leave out tentative and declined events.
5. Close the panel. Choose **Resync calendar** whenever you want the latest events for the week.

## What you see in Sources & sync

- **Google Calendar** shows your connected account, when it last synced, and how many timed events the week has.
- **Calendar visibility** has **Only accepted events** and **Hide event titles**.
- **Privacy & trust** confirms **Google access is read-only**, and **Review source trust order** shows which source wins when events overlap.
- **Work hours** and **Project colors** set how your timesheet looks.

## What happens next

- Events for the week you are viewing appear as suggestions. See [Google Calendar sync](https://docs.moodiri.com/time-tracking/google-calendar-sync).
- **Resync calendar** beside the week picker fetches them again at any time.

## Limits

- Read-only. Moodiri never edits your Google Calendar.
- Each teammate connects their own calendar.

## Troubleshooting

- **Google Calendar is not available for this workspace. Ask an administrator to enable it.** Calendar sync is not set up for your firm yet.
- **The previous connection change did not finish. Retry cleanup before starting another.** Choose **Retry cleanup**, then connect again.

## Questions

### What does the status badge mean?

**Connected** means events are syncing. **Permission expired** means Google access lapsed; choose **Reconnect Google**. **Cleanup required** means a previous change did not finish; choose **Retry cleanup**.

### What happens to my timesheet if I disconnect?

Time you already accepted stays recorded. New suggestions stop appearing until you connect again.
