Google Calendar

Connect Google

1. Open Settings, then Google.
2. Read what StorytellerOS will do, then choose Continue to Google.
3. You see a short StorytellerOS welcome screen, then Google's own screen. Approve calendar access there.
4. You come back to Settings, Google, with your calendars listed.

Google's screen asks for access to your calendar in full, because that is how calendar access is packaged. StorytellerOS only reads your events. It never changes, moves or deletes events you made in Google.

Choose what you see

• Which calendars should we show? Tick the calendars you want in Your week. Your main calendar is ticked to start. Choose Save calendars.
• Show event names or just busy times? Pick busy times if you'd rather keep event names out of StorytellerOS. Private events always show as Busy.

Google events in Your week

Open Calendar. Your Google events appear in grey under the Google Calendar layer, which you can turn off in the side panel. Click an event to open it in Google Calendar. StorytellerOS checks for changes about every 15 minutes while you use it.

Where book dates will go

Under Where should book dates go?, pick the Google calendar for launch days, newsletter sends and writing time. We save your choice now. Nothing is added to Google until you say yes to each date.

To keep book dates apart from the rest of your life, make a calendar called StorytellerOS in Google first, then choose I made it, refresh the list. StorytellerOS can't make the calendar for you.

Your AI team and your calendar

Your AI team can't see your Google calendar unless you say so. To let them, turn on Let my AI team see my Google calendar on Settings, Google. Before it turns on, StorytellerOS shows you exactly what is shared: the names and times of today's events on the calendars you show, with private events as Busy. Turn it off there at any time. Disconnecting Google turns it off too. See our privacy policy for what we keep and for how long.

Indie Author Training webinars and summits

If you see the Indie Author Training card on Settings, Google, choose Add to Google Calendar (or the Apple or Outlook option) to subscribe. Every upcoming webinar and summit then shows in your own calendar. You don't need to connect Google for this.

Disconnect

Choose Disconnect Google on Settings, Google. Your Google events stop showing, the copy StorytellerOS keeps is deleted, and your AI team's access is turned off. Nothing in your Google Calendar changes. To remove access completely, you can also remove it in your Google account settings, under third-party connections.
