# Google Calendar Integration (API-Based)

The Google Calendar integration enables real-time synchronization of individual user-level events from the Asset Panda Pro Calendar widget directly to a user’s Google Calendar. This API-based integration provides instant updates and a seamless user-level sync experience. 

The integration requires a one-time authentication using Google OAuth, but no manual export or ICS link.

{% hint style="info" %}
Behavior related to event deletions, calendar selection, and certain advanced configurations may vary based on Google Calendar settings and permissions.
{% endhint %}

***

## Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

* Access to the Asset Panda Pro web application
* Valid Google account with permission to authenticate third-party apps

***

## Limitations <a href="#limitations" id="limitations"></a>

* The synchronization is one-way (Asset Panda → Google Calendar).
* Events created in Google Calendar do not sync back to Asset Panda Pro.
* Integration is **user-specific** and must be configured individually.
* Users must authenticate individually for their events to sync.
* Some advanced event attributes (such as custom fields) may not sync.

   2. Select **Go to Asset Panda Pro (unsafe)**.
