Steps to Sync Your Google Calendar with GoHighLevel

1. Access Integrations: Log in to your GoHighLevel account and switch from Agency View to the subaccount where you want to integrate your calendar. Navigate to the Integrations section.
   ‍

‍

2. Connect Google Account: Find the Google integration option and click on Connect.
   
   
3. Grant Permissions: You'll be redirected to a Google login page. Enter your Google account credentials and grant the necessary permissions for GoHighLevel to access your calendar data. Be mindful of the permissions you grant, ensuring they're specific to calendar access.
   
   
4. Select Calendar (For Groups): If you have multiple calendars within your Google account, a pop-up window might appear. This window allows you to choose the specific calendar you want to sync with GoHighLevel. Select the desired calendar and proceed. (This step may not be necessary for users with a single calendar).

Alternatively, in your subaccount menu, head to the Calendars section. If you don’t have any calendar created in your GoHighLevel account, click + New to add a new calendar before proceeding to sync with your Google calendar. 

On the menu tab, select Calendar Settings and click on Create Calendar. 
‍

You can choose from a number of scheduling types for your new calendar. Once you’ve created your new calendar, you can head back to the Calendars section, where you’ll find the newly created calendar already added.

Now, to sync your Google calendar with your GoHighLevel calendar, click on Connections at the top of the Calendars section. Here, what you want to do is connect your Gmail account in Connection Preferences for Ads or Organic Booking Redirect.
‍

By doing this, your Google calendar associated with that Gmail account will automatically be synced to your newly created GoHighLevel calendar.

Additional Notes:
‍

• The syncing process might take a few minutes to complete. Be patient and allow sufficient time for the calendars to integrate fully.
  ‍
• Once synced, any existing appointments or events in your Google Calendar will be reflected in your GoHighLevel calendar and vice versa.
  ‍
• Going forward, any appointments booked through either platform will automatically sync with the other, keeping your schedule consistently updated.
