# Google Calendar AI Scheduling Integration

Source: https://insertchat.com/integration/google-calendar

> Authorize your calendar, choose the scheduling actions your assistant can use, and test the appointment flow. Your team chooses which bookings can run automatically and which need review.

## From customer inquiry to calendar appointment

A customer asks for a visit by phone or website chat. Your assistant collects the request and uses the Google Calendar actions you have enabled. Keep the appointment and conversation together so your team knows who is coming and why. Test availability exceptions and approval settings before enabling the flow.

## Setup

1. **Connect your account.** Find Google Calendar in the InsertChat app catalog and authorize the account you want to use.
2. **Choose the actions.** Select the supported actions your assistant needs and review the connection’s permissions.
3. **Test the workflow.** Try the customer flow and confirm that actions, approvals, and handoff work the way your team expects.

## What do I need to connect Google Calendar?

Authorize the Google account that owns or can access the calendar you want to use. Choose the scheduling actions available to your assistant and review their permissions. Test appointments and availability exceptions before using the connection with customers.

## Can I require approval for calendar actions?

Configure the supported actions and approval rules in your workspace. Your assistant can collect the requested time and customer details while actions that need review wait for your team. Test the exact booking flow you intend to use.
