How to connect your Google or Outlook Calendars to Honeit

Honeit simplifies the process of automatically scheduling calls. By connecting your Google or Outlook calendar to Honeit, you can ensure candidates only see your available time slots. This prevents scheduling conflicts with existing meetings or events, making your scheduling seamless and stress-free.

When you connect a calendar, Google or Outlook will ask you to give Honeit permission to access it. Follow the prompts and approve each step. Honeit needs read and write access so it can check your availability and add, update or cancel scheduled calls on your calendar.

If you are on Outlook and you see a message that admin approval is required, your IT administrator needs to approve the sync before you can continue. Send them our Outlook Permissions Guide, which includes documentation you can share with your IT team.

Here's a quick video tutorial.

If you recruit across multiple clients or teams, your availability probably lives in more than one place. An embedded recruiter might keep a client calendar alongside their own work calendar, or a personal calendar they block time on. Honeit lets you connect up to three calendars so every commitment is accounted for when candidates book time with you.

You can mix Google and Outlook. To add another calendar, return to Scheduling → Calendar settings and click "Add calendar." The counter next to "Connected calendars" shows how many you have connected.

Honeit checks every connected calendar for conflicts, so a candidate will never be offered a time slot when you are already booked on any of them.

While Honeit checks all of your connected calendars for conflicts, scheduled calls are added to one calendar only.

The calendar currently receiving events is marked "Events will be added to this calendar only." To use a different one, click "Set as calendar to add events" next to that calendar. The badge moves over right away, and future Honeit calls will be added there.

Your timezone is shown at the top of the Scheduling & Calendar page. Click "edit" to change it. Availability and scheduled calls follow this setting, so it is worth confirming it is correct before you share your scheduling link.

Click the trash icon next to any connected calendar to disconnect it. Honeit will stop checking that calendar for conflicts. If you remove the calendar that events are added to, set another one as the calendar to add events.
