What you'll need

• The Google Calendar integration is available on every ClickUp plan.

• You may need to occasionally re-authenticate your Google account based on your organization's security policies.
• Guests can use the Google Calendar integration.
• The Google Calendar integration uses cookies to maintain the sync between Google and ClickUp. Some web browsers, add-ons, or extensions may delete cookies required for the integration to work.
• Once enabled on the browser or desktop app, synced events will display in the ClickUp mobile app.
• You cannot sync your ClickUp tasks to a shared Google Calendar. 

Set up the Google Calendar integration

To sync Google Calendar and ClickUp, from the App Center:

3. Sign in to your Google account and authorize ClickUp.

If you see No Calendars for this user when trying to connect your Google Calendar, disable ad-block and reauthorize permissions.

Authorize ClickUp

When authorizing Google Calendar, a popup will request access for ClickUp to see, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar. This permissions request must be accepted for the Google Calendar integration to function.

If you're unable to authorize ClickUp, visit your security settings and verify that your Google account is configured to allow access. 

Two-way sync with Google Calendar

After you set up the integration, synced Google Calendar events display in all Calendar views of every Workspace you have created or joined.

When you sync calendar events from Google Calendar to ClickUp:

• Changes you make to an event in Google Calendar will not update the related task in ClickUp.
• You can view the event in ClickUp, and click a link to view and edit the event in Google Calendar.
• Only calendars from the My Calendars section of Google are available.
• You can toggle your specific Google calendars on or off.
• Events created in Google Calendar do not create a new task in ClickUp.
• Google Calendar tasks will not sync to ClickUp.
• Google Calendar will show tasks as 30-minute blocks regardless of the task's true length.
