Why Connect Your Calendar

Scheduling

Sync your calendar, set availability, and generate Google Meet links for booked meetings.

​
Connecting Google

1

Open calendar settings

Go to Settings → Calendar in the dashboard.
2

Click Connect Google Account

Select the Google option to start the OAuth flow.
3

Sign in and authorize

Sign in with your Google account and grant the requested permissions.
4

Verify connection

Your Google account should appear in the connected accounts list.

​
Google Permissions

OrbitForms requests the following permissions:
  • Calendar read — Read your calendar list and free/busy status
  • Calendar events (read/write) — Create events and check availability
  • User profile info — Display your name and email in the app
Sequence emails are sent through your verified sending domain, not through Gmail — no Gmail permissions are requested.
Microsoft 365 and Outlook Calendar support is coming soon. Check the changelog for updates.

​
Managing Connected Accounts

  • Set Default Account — If you have multiple accounts, choose which one to use for new scheduling links.
  • Reconnect Expired Tokens — If your connection expires, click “Reconnect” to refresh the authorization.
  • Disconnect an Account — Remove a connected account to revoke OrbitForms’s access.

​
Calendar Sync

  • Automatic Sync — Your calendar is synced periodically to reflect your availability.
  • Availability Checking — OrbitForms checks your free/busy status when someone books a meeting.
  • Conflict Detection — Prevents double-booking by blocking times when you’re busy.
  • Event Creation — Creates calendar events with the correct title, time, and meeting link.

​
Availability Schedules

Configure when you’re available for meetings — working hours and time zone — from the availability section on this same page. Configure availability schedules →
Calendar data is encrypted in transit and at rest. OrbitForms only accesses the permissions you grant and does not share your data with third parties.

​
Troubleshooting

Ensure you’re not blocking pop-ups. Try a different browser or incognito mode. Check that your Google account is in good standing.
Click “Reconnect” in your connected accounts settings. Re-authorize with Google to refresh the token.
Verify the connection is active. Check that you granted calendar permissions. Allow a few minutes for the initial sync to complete.
Ensure you have write access to the calendar. Check that the calendar isn’t read-only. Review the scheduling form configuration.
