# Sync your LeadScout appointments with Google Calendar

> Connect your Google Calendar to LeadScout so every appointment you schedule in the field automatically appears in your personal calendar.

When you connect Google Calendar, every appointment you create in LeadScout is pushed directly to your primary Google Calendar as a calendar event. Your field schedule stays in sync with the rest of your day — no manual entry, no double-booking. The connection is per-user, so each team member connects their own Google account independently.

<Note>
  Google Calendar sync is available on the **Pro** and **Scale** plans. If you don't see the option in Settings, check your current plan under **Settings → Billing**.
</Note>

## Connect Google Calendar

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Integrations settings">
    In the LeadScout web app, navigate to **Settings → Integrations → Google Calendar**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the connection">
    Click **Connect Google Calendar**. You will be redirected to Google's sign-in and permissions page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Grant calendar access">
    Sign in to the Google account you want to use, then click **Allow** to grant LeadScout access to your Google Calendar. LeadScout requests access to create and delete events on your primary calendar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the connection">
    After granting access, you are redirected back to LeadScout. The Integrations page will show your Google Calendar as **Connected**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Use a personal Google account that you already check daily. The integration writes to your **primary** calendar — the default calendar tied to your Google account.
</Tip>

## How appointments appear in Google Calendar

Once connected, any appointment you create in LeadScout is added to your Google Calendar automatically. Each event is titled **"Lead Scout Appointment - \[Prospect Name]"** so you can identify it at a glance.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Event details synced" icon="calendar">
    The event includes the appointment start time, end time, and time zone — exactly as you set them in LeadScout.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Attendees included" icon="users">
    If the prospect's email address is on file, they are added as an attendee on the Google Calendar event.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Deletions sync too" icon="trash-2">
    Canceling or deleting an appointment in LeadScout removes the corresponding event from your Google Calendar.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Per-user connection" icon="user">
    Each team member connects their own Google account. One person connecting does not affect other team members.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Calendar settings

After connecting, you can adjust how LeadScout uses your calendar. Go to **Settings → Integrations → Google Calendar** and open **Calendar Settings** to configure:

| Setting                   | What it controls                                                                                              |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Working hours start / end | The time window LeadScout uses when checking your availability for appointment scheduling                     |
| Buffer minutes            | Minimum gap LeadScout adds between consecutive appointments (0–240 minutes)                                   |
| Time zone                 | Your local time zone; toggle **Auto-detect** to let LeadScout set this from your device                       |
| Show personal events      | When on, your full Google Calendar is visible on the LeadScout calendar view, not just LeadScout appointments |
| 24-hour clock             | Switches the time display between 12-hour and 24-hour format                                                  |

## Disconnect Google Calendar

  <Step title="Open Calendar Settings">
    Go to **Settings → Integrations → Google Calendar** and click **Calendar Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Disconnect">
    Click **Disconnect Google Calendar** and confirm. LeadScout immediately removes your stored credentials.
