Why Connect Google Calendar to Briefmatic?

By integrating Google Calendar with Briefmatic, you can:
✅ View all your existing Gcal appointments within Briefmatic.
✅ Create new Gcal appointments for unscheduled tasks directly from the Scheduler tab.
✅ Get a single, unified view of your scheduled and unscheduled tasks—whether for work, personal errands, or other priorities.

How to Connect Your Google Calendar to Briefmatic

To connect your google calendar profile to your Briefmatic account follow these steps;

  1. Navigate to the Connections tab.

  2. Find the Google Calendar card and click "Connect".

  3. Follow the prompts to authorize the connection. Briefmatic will request access to:

    • Your name

    • Email address

    • Language preference

    • The ability to view and edit events in Google Calendar

  4. Once connected, syncing will begin in the background. This process may take a few minutes depending on the number of appointments in your calendar.
