Using the Google Calendar Integration

Availability Checking

Once Google Calendar is connected, Meetn automatically checks your calendar for conflicts:

  • Your existing calendar events are used to determine your availability
  • Times that conflict with existing events are automatically blocked
  • Guests only see times when you're actually available

Automatic Event Creation

When someone books a meeting with you:

  • A calendar event is automatically created in your Google Calendar
  • Both you and your guest receive calendar invitations
  • If Zoom is not connected, Google Meet links are automatically added

What Meetn Does with Google Calendar

  • Reads events: To check your availability and prevent double-bookings
  • Creates events: To add booked meetings to your calendar
  • Updates events: When meetings are rescheduled
  • Deletes events: When meetings are cancelled

Removing the Google Calendar Integration

Disconnect from Meetn

  1. Log in to your Meetn account at meetn.ai

  3. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu
  4. Navigate to the "External Calendars" section

  6. Click "Disconnect"
  7. Confirm the disconnection when prompted
