Connecting Google Calendar

Connect your Google Calendar so FlowPlan knows about your meetings, appointments, and other commitments when scheduling tasks.

What does this integration do?

  • Imports your events into FlowPlan's calendar view
  • Prevents scheduling conflicts — the auto-scheduler works around your existing events
  • Supports multiple calendars — personal, work, shared calendars
  • One-way sync — events come from Google Calendar into FlowPlan (FlowPlan doesn't modify your Google Calendar)

Setting up the connection

Step 1: Start the connection

  1. Go to Integrations in FlowPlan
  2. Find the Google Calendar section
  3. Click Connect Google Calendar

Step 2: Authorize access

  1. You'll be redirected to Google's sign-in page
  2. Select your Google account
  3. Review the permissions and click Allow
  4. You'll be redirected back to FlowPlan

Step 3: Select your calendars

  1. FlowPlan will show all available calendars from your Google account
  2. Check the ones you want to sync (e.g., "Work," "Personal")
  3. Save your selection

How events affect your schedule

Once connected, your Google Calendar events appear in FlowPlan's calendar view. When you use auto-scheduling:

  • Tasks won't be scheduled during your calendar events
  • The scheduler sees your events as "busy" time
  • Only the remaining available time is used for task scheduling

Syncing your events

Events are imported when you trigger a sync from Integrations > Sync Calendar. You can choose how many days ahead to sync.

Tip: Connect your Google Calendar before generating your first auto-schedule. This way, your daily plan will immediately account for meetings and other commitments.
