EvalSuite Calendar Connections: Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar, and iCal

Before you start

EvalSuite exposes calendar connections in `Settings -> Integrations -> Calendar` and can also prompt you to connect a calendar directly from meeting scheduling surfaces.

Google Calendar and Microsoft Calendar are the primary write-capable calendar paths. iCal is available when you only need a read-only feed.

• Each person connects their own calendar account or feed. A manager connecting Google Calendar or Microsoft Calendar does not automatically connect the rest of the workspace.
• Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar, or iCal availability can be paused globally or for a specific workspace. When that happens, the provider stays visible but marked unavailable.
• If you are using Zoom-backed meetings, connected Google Calendar or Microsoft Calendar accounts help keep invite details aligned with the latest meeting information.

Use case: connect Google Calendar

Use this when you want a writable Google Calendar connection for scheduling context, current event refresh, and calendar-linked invite updates.

• Prerequisites: a Google account you can authorize, access to EvalSuite settings, and Google Calendar enabled for your workspace.

1. Open `Settings -> Integrations -> Calendar` in EvalSuite.
2. Find the `Google Calendar` row and click `Connect Google Calendar`.
3. Complete the Google authorization flow and return to EvalSuite.
4. Confirm the row shows `Connected`.
5. Use `Sync` any time you want to refresh the connection immediately.

Use case: connect Microsoft Calendar

Use this when your team schedules through Microsoft 365 and you want the same connection pattern available for Google users.

• Prerequisites: a Microsoft work or school account you can authorize, access to EvalSuite settings, and Microsoft Calendar enabled for your workspace.

1. Open `Settings -> Integrations -> Calendar` in EvalSuite.
2. Find the `Microsoft Calendar` row and click `Connect Microsoft Calendar`.
3. Complete the Microsoft authorization flow and return to EvalSuite.
4. Confirm the row shows `Connected`.
5. Use `Sync` when you want to force an immediate refresh.

Use case: add an iCal feed

Use this when you only need a private read-only feed and do not want a writable Google Calendar or Microsoft Calendar connection.

• Prerequisites: a private iCal URL and iCal enabled for your workspace.
• EvalSuite expects a `webcal://` or `https://` feed URL.

1. Open `Settings -> Integrations -> Calendar` in EvalSuite.
2. Find the `iCal Feed` row and click `Add iCal Feed`.
3. Paste the private feed URL.
4. Click `Connect`.
5. Use `Sync` later when you want EvalSuite to pull the latest feed entries again.

How connected calendars affect scheduling

EvalSuite uses connected calendars to improve scheduling context and keep linked invite details current where supported.

The scheduling sheet can also open the same calendar-connect flow directly if you try to schedule without an active calendar connection.

• Google Calendar and Microsoft Calendar are the best fit when you want invite updates to stay aligned automatically from EvalSuite scheduling surfaces.
• An iCal connection is best for read-only awareness, not for a full writable provider flow.
• If a provider shows `Error` or is disabled, reconnect it or switch to another supported connection before depending on calendar-linked behavior.

Remove or disconnect a calendar connection

Disconnecting a calendar removes the active connection from EvalSuite and stops future sync for that provider connection.

• Google Calendar and Microsoft Calendar disconnect actions remove the stored calendar connection used by EvalSuite for that provider.
• Disconnecting an iCal feed removes the stored feed URL from the active EvalSuite connection.
• Future sync stops after disconnect. If you also need help with historical data in EvalSuite, use the public support path.

1. Open `Settings -> Integrations -> Calendar` in EvalSuite.
2. On the provider row you want to remove, click `Disconnect`.
3. Confirm the connection is no longer marked `Connected`.
4. Reconnect later if you want to restore that provider.

Troubleshooting and support

Use the public support page if the provider is unavailable, the authorization flow is blocked, or your workspace access needs a manual check.

• General support and FAQs: `/help`
• If calendar-linked Zoom invites are part of the setup, review the Zoom guide at `/docs/zoom-workplace-installation-usage-and-removal`.
