Calendar Sync Settings
Screen purpose: Connect your Google or Microsoft (Office / Outlook) calendar so CallProof tasks can be added to your personal calendar.
- Link Google Calendar
- Link Office / Outlook Calendar
- Choose which calendar receives tasks
- Create a new calendar in Google or Office
- Remove a linked account
- Use calendar options when adding tasks
Screen title: Calendar Sync Settings
Browser title: Calendar Setup
Address: /calendar-integration/
How this helps
When calendar sync is set up, CallProof can send tasks to Google and/or Office calendars. Until you link and select a calendar, task screens show a link to set this up instead of the “Add To … Calendar” checkboxes.
How to open Calendar Sync Settings
Option A — Direct address
- Sign in to CallProof.
- Go to your CallProof site and add
/calendar-integration/. - Press Enter.
Option B — From Add Task
- Open Add Task (or another task form that includes calendar options).
- If sync is not set up, click Link Google® Calendar or Link Office Calendar.
- You are taken to Calendar Sync Settings.
Option C — After Google / Microsoft sign-in
- If you started linking from this screen, Google or Microsoft returns you here when authorization finishes.
Permissions
- You must be signed in.
- Settings apply to your own CallProof user account (each person links their own calendars).
- You need permission in Google or Microsoft to allow CallProof calendar access when prompted.
What you see
The page has two cards:
| Section | When not linked | When linked |
|---|---|---|
| Google Calendar Setup | Message that Google Calendar Sync is not set up + Link Calendar | Status, linked email, tasks calendar, edit / add / remove |
| Office Calendar Setup | Message that Office Calendar Sync is not set up + Link Calendar | Status, linked email, tasks calendar, edit / add / remove (+ note about new calendars) |
Linked account fields
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Google / Office calendar sync is | Enabled if a tasks calendar is selected · Disabled if linked but no calendar chosen yet |
| Linked Google / Office Account | Email of the connected account |
| Sending Tasks to Calendar | Name of the calendar that receives tasks · or “Select calendar to enable sync from here” |
| Select Calendar | Dropdown of calendars you can write to (shown after clicking the edit icon) |
| Add New Calendar | Create a new calendar in Google or Office |
| Remove | Disconnect that provider from CallProof |
Why Calendar Sync matters
| Action | Purpose | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Link Calendar | Authorize Google or Microsoft for CallProof. | First-time setup, or after a remove / expired login. |
| Select calendar | Choose where tasks are sent. | After linking, or when changing calendars. |
| Add New Calendar | Create a dedicated CallProof calendar. | Keep work tasks separate from personal events. |
| Remove | Stop sync and clear the linked account. | Wrong account, leaving the company, or troubleshooting. |
| Add To … Calendar (on tasks) | Push a task into the selected calendar. | Day-to-day follow-ups and appointments. |
Link Google Calendar
Steps
- Open
/calendar-integration/. - Under Google Calendar Setup, click Link Calendar.
- Sign in with Google and allow calendar access when asked.
- You return to Calendar Sync Settings.
- Confirm Linked Google Account shows your email.
- Click the edit (pencil) icon next to Sending Tasks to Calendar.
- Choose a calendar under Select Calendar.
- Status should show Enabled and the selected calendar name.
Good to know
- Link starts at
/calendar-integration/google/and uses Google sign-in. - If Google is already linked, you stay on this settings page.
- Only calendars you can edit appear in the list (read-only calendars are not offered).
Link Office / Outlook Calendar
Steps
- Open
/calendar-integration/. - Under Office Calendar Setup, click Link Calendar.
- Sign in with your Microsoft account and allow access when asked.
- You return to Calendar Sync Settings.
- Confirm Linked Office Account shows your email.
- Click the edit (pencil) icon.
- Choose a calendar under Select Calendar.
- Status should show Enabled.
Note on the screen
- Due to Microsoft services, a newly created calendar may take some time to appear in the list. Refresh the page later if it is missing.
Change the calendar that receives tasks
Steps
- Click the edit icon beside Sending Tasks to Calendar (Google or Office).
- Open Select Calendar.
- Choose the calendar you want.
- Success messages:
- Google calendar changed successfully
- Office calendar changed successfully
Good to know
- Sync stays Disabled until a calendar is selected.
- You can keep both Google and Office linked and send tasks to either (or both) when creating tasks.
Add a new calendar
Steps
- Expand the Google or Office edit section.
- Click Add New Calendar.
- Enter a name in Enter Name.
- Click Save.
- Success: New calendar created.
- Select the new calendar (Office may need a short wait / page refresh before it appears).
If something goes wrong
| Message | What to try |
|---|---|
| Name can not be blank | Enter a calendar name before Save. |
| Token expired. Please reset your account | Remove the link, then Link Calendar again. |
| Calendar creation failed / Unable to create calendar | Try again later, or create the calendar in Google/Outlook and refresh this page. |
Remove a linked account
Steps
- On the Google or Office card, click Remove.
- Confirm if prompted.
- Success: Account removed successfully.
- The card returns to the “not currently setup” state with Link Calendar.
Good to know
- Remove clears the selected tasks calendar for that provider.
- Tasks already created in Google/Outlook are not deleted from those calendars by this action — only CallProof’s link is removed.
- To use sync again, link and select a calendar.
Using calendar sync when adding a task
When sync is ready
- Create or edit a task.
- Check Add To Google Calendar and/or Add To Office Calendar as needed.
- Save the task — it is sent to the calendar you selected on Calendar Sync Settings.
When sync is not ready
- Task forms show Link Google® Calendar and/or Link Office Calendar instead of the checkboxes.
- Click the link, complete setup, then return to Add Task.
Typical workflow
- Open
/calendar-integration/. - Link Calendar for Google and/or Office.
- Select the calendar under Sending Tasks to Calendar.
- Confirm status is Enabled.
- When adding tasks, use Add To Google Calendar / Add To Office Calendar.
- If you switch personal accounts, Remove the old link and connect the new one.
Tips and important notes
- Browser title is Calendar Setup; the page heading is Calendar Sync Settings.
- This screen is per user — managers do not set calendars for the whole company here.
- Linking Google uses Google sign-in; linking Office uses Microsoft sign-in.
- Enabled vs Disabled means “tasks calendar chosen,” not only “account connected.”
- You may link both Google and Office at the same time.
- Office new calendars can lag before they show in the dropdown — wait and refresh.
- If checkboxes never appear on tasks, confirm both: account linked and a calendar selected.
