Connect a Google calendar

You can connect a Google calendar to Booost so its events appear alongside everything else. You'll need to fetch a link from Google Calendar first, then paste it into Booost.

Find your calendar link in Google

You'll need a computer for this part – Google Calendar's mobile app doesn't offer the link you need.

1. Go to Google and sign in to the account your calendar belongs to.
2. Select the Google apps menu in the top right.
3. Choose 'Calendar'.
4. Select the cog icon in the top toolbar.
5. Choose 'Settings'.
6. In the left-hand menu, scroll to 'Settings for my calendars'.
7. Select the calendar you'd like to add.
8. Scroll to 'Integrate calendar'.
9. Copy the address under 'Secret address in iCal format', using the copy button at the end of the box.
10. Select 'OK' on the message reminding you not to share the address.

Don't share this link – anyone who has it can see your calendar.

Connect it to Booost

1. Select 'Account' (the person icon) on the navigation bar. On web: 'Account' is at the bottom of the left-hand panel.
2. Select 'Connected calendars'.
3. Select 'Add calendar'.
4. Paste in the link you copied.
5. Select 'Next'.
6. Give your calendar a name. This is how you'll recognise it in your list of connected calendars.
7. Select 'Connect to calendar'.

Booost confirms once your calendar is connected.

Booost brings in the next 90 days of events and checks for changes every 24 hours. If you can't see events further ahead than that, your calendar is connected correctly – those events will appear as the dates come closer.

If your events haven't appeared yet, see Events not showing.

If you aren't able to set up a connection, see Google calendar connection errors.
