Connecting Google Calendar
Connect Google Calendar so your agents can read your events and availability on your behalf.
Connect Google Calendar and your agents can read your calendars, events, and free/busy availability for you — without ever handling your password. You connect once with your own Google sign-in, and agents use that access only when they act on your behalf.
Google Calendar connects through Google's official Calendar service, so your agents can read your calendars and events and check your availability — and nothing else.
Setting it up
There are two ways to set Google Calendar up. A workspace admin can enable it once for everyone, or you can connect it just for yourself as a private server.
Admin (for the whole workspace):
- Open Settings → Agents → Connections and find Google Calendar in the Connectors section. Click Add to open the connector's page.
- On the connector's page, go to the Workspace setup section.
- In the Google Cloud console, create an OAuth 2.0 client of type Web application, register the callback URL shown in the form, then paste the Client ID and Client Secret and choose Enable for workspace.
Once an admin has enabled Google Calendar, every member sees it ready to connect.
Just for you (a personal connection):
- Open Settings → My Connections and find Google Calendar in the Connectors section. Click Add to open the connector's page.
- On the connector's page, go to the Use it with your own account section.
- Create an OAuth 2.0 client (type Web application) in the Google Cloud console, register the callback URL shown, paste the Client ID and Client Secret, and choose Add & connect.
This installs Google Calendar as your own private connection and connects it as you — no admin needed.
Connecting
If an admin already set Google Calendar up:
- Open Settings → Connection Preferences (or the Connectors section on the Connections page).
- Find Google Calendar, click Add, and on the connector's page click Connect.
- Sign in with Google and approve the requested access. You'll be returned to Monad with a green Connected badge.
Once Google Calendar is connected, its card turns into a dimmed Added tile and it shows up in your Connections list above — open it from there any time to manage or disconnect it.
From then on you can ask an agent things like "what's on my calendar tomorrow?" or "find a free hour this afternoon" without thinking about credentials.
What your agents can do
Your agents act as your account, but only to read your calendars and events and check free/busy availability. They can't create or change events, delete anything, or touch anything outside Google Calendar.
Reconnecting
If you see an amber Reconnect needed badge, your access expired or the permissions changed. Click Reconnect and approve again.
Disconnecting
Click Disconnect at any time and Monad immediately stops using your Google Calendar account. Your connection is yours alone — other members can't use it, and admins can see only that you've connected, never your calendar or your tokens.
