Connect Google or Microsoft Calendar

Connect your own Google or Microsoft calendar to see its events next to your BytePhase work, and to add events to it from BytePhase. Each person connects their own calendar. It doesn’t change anyone else’s.

Before you start

• This is for your personal events. Jobs, tasks, pickups and other BytePhase work show on the BytePhase calendar, but they are not copied to Google or Microsoft.
• For Microsoft, have your Microsoft 365 or Outlook login ready.
• For Google, you need your Calendar ID. You find it in your Google Calendar’s settings, under “Integrate calendar”.

Steps

On a computer

1. In the left menu, click Calendar.

2. Find Connected calendars on the left side of the page.

   

   Desktop

3. Connect the calendar you use:

   • Microsoft: click Connect next to Microsoft. Sign in to Microsoft and allow access. You come back to BytePhase and see “Microsoft Calendar connected”.

   • Google: click Connect next to Google. In Connect Google Calendar, paste your Calendar ID and click Save.

     In Google Calendar, also share your calendar with BytePhase so events can be added and changed. Open your calendar’s settings, go to Share with specific people or groups, click Add people and groups, enter goggle-calendar@bytephase-push-notificat-4d4b3.iam.gserviceaccount.com, choose Make changes to events, and click Send.

On a phone

1. Tap More, then Calendar under Daily work.

2. Scroll down to Connected calendars.

3. Tap Connect next to Microsoft or Google, then follow the same steps as on a computer.

Done!

Your calendar shows Connected. Use the calendar dropdown at the top of the page to see its events.

Add an event to your calendar

1. On the Calendar page, click Create.
2. Fill in the Subject, Start date and End date. Pick your Google or Microsoft calendar under Calendar.
3. Click Create. The event is added to that calendar.

If you haven’t connected a calendar, you see “Connect Google or Microsoft Calendar to create events”.

Good to know

• To stop showing a calendar, click Disconnect next to it. Its events disappear from BytePhase. Nothing is deleted in Google or Microsoft.
• The question-mark icon next to each calendar opens a step-by-step guide.
• Admins can pick another employee at the top of the Calendar page to see that person’s BytePhase work.
