Google Calendars

The Basics

Yes, you can! However, note that some Google calendars are read-only. These include calendars shared with you with view-only access and subscription calendars like sports schedules. If you can edit events in Google, you can edit them in DayBack as well.

In DayBack, you'll see the same calendars you see when logged into Google. Each DayBack user signs into Google individually, so they will see their Google calendars, including any that have been shared with them.

No, DayBack does not sync with Google Calendar. Instead, it displays your Google calendars along side your other calendar sources, providing a unified view of all your commitments. For more information on syncing and sync options, refer to: Does DayBack sync with Google?.

Yes, you can share your personal calendars with others without revealing the details of your private events. This allows your team to schedule appointments around your availability without seeing the specifics of your personal commitments.

Configuring DayBack to Show Your Google Calendars

By default, the Google Calendar option is enabled in DayBack. When you visit DayBack's calendars tab, you will be prompted to log into Google. Once you grant DayBack permission to access Google, and if you're already signed in to your Google account, your Google calendars will automatically appear in DayBack. Use the blue button to authorize DayBack to access your calendars.
