Connect Google Calendar

Connect your Google Calendar so Scalign's meeting assistant knows which meetings to join. It's the calendar connection that makes recording automatic; your Gmail account for follow-up drafts is a separate, optional connection.

How do I connect Google Calendar to Scalign?

1. In Scalign, go to Settings → Assistant.
2. Under Calendar, click Connect and choose Connect using Google.
3. Sign in with your work Google account and allow the calendar permission. It is read-only: Scalign sees your events and never changes them.
4. Under Choose which meetings it joins, choose whether the assistant joins external meetings, internal meetings, or both. For a meeting it shouldn't join, use the desktop recorder instead.

What can Scalign access in Google Calendar?

This connection only reads your calendar: upcoming events and their meeting links, so the assistant can join the meetings you choose.

• calendar.events.readonly — see upcoming events and their meeting links, so the assistant can join the ones you choose.

What if Google blocks the connection?

If Google says the app is blocked or needs approval, your Google Workspace administrator restricts third-party apps. Ask them to allow Scalign in the Google Admin console under Security → Access and data control → API controls → Manage third-party app access, then click Connect again.

Troubleshooting

• My meetings aren't showing up. Check the calendar badge under Settings → Assistant. Needs reconnect means Google revoked access (a password change or a security policy) — click Reconnect.
• The assistant didn't join a meeting. It only joins meetings on the connected calendar, of the kind you chose under Meeting assistant. As a backup, start the desktop recorder.

I use Outlook and Teams. See Connect Microsoft: Teams and Outlook.
