Connect your own calendar
Connect a Google or Microsoft account, and choose exactly which of its calendars WorkWiser reads.
Before you start
- No admin role needed. A calendar connection belongs to you, so every member can connect their own.
- Find it under your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar, then Calendar. On a phone, open the menu first.
- You need to be able to sign in to the Google or Microsoft account you want to bring across.
Connect an account
Open your calendar settings
Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Calendar.
Choose Google or Microsoft
Click Connect Google or Connect Microsoft. You are taken to the provider to sign in.
Grant access
Sign in and allow WorkWiser to read your calendar. You come back to WorkWiser and the account appears with its calendars listed underneath it.
Connecting on its own syncs nothing
A new account arrives with every calendar switched off, on purpose. WorkWiser reads no events at all until you turn one on, so connecting can never bring across more than you meant to. The screen says so under each account until at least one calendar is on.
Choose which calendars sync
Open the account
Each connected account lists its calendars, and the line above them counts how many are syncing.
Turn on the ones you want
Flip the switch beside a calendar. WorkWiser starts reading it on the next sync, and you can turn it off again whenever you like.
Leave the rest off
Holidays, birthdays and every shared team calendar usually add noise rather than signal. Nothing makes you take a whole account.
Keep it current
Sync now
WorkWiser reads your chosen calendars for you every few minutes. Sync now, at the top of the screen, asks for your events straight away. It appears once at least one calendar is switched on, and it asks every account you have connected at the same time.
Refresh calendar list
This is the other one, and it does something different: it re-reads the list of calendars in an account. Use it after you create or delete a calendar over at Google or Microsoft. You will find it in that account’s own menu, next to Reconnect and Disconnect.
Reconnect
If an account ever says it needs attention, open its menu and choose Reconnect. That happens when the provider withdraws our access, usually after a password change.
Good to know
A connected calendar is yours alone. Nobody else in your organization sees it, not even an admin.
Disconnecting an account deletes everything WorkWiser copied from it, along with your choice of calendars. Your calendar over at Google or Microsoft is never touched, and you can connect it again at any time.
WorkWiser only reads. It never creates, edits or deletes anything in your Google or Microsoft calendar.
Meetings you declined are left out. The ones you accepted, and the ones you have not answered yet, come across.
