# Google Calendar Integration (API-Based) Integrate Asset Panda with Google Calendar to automatically sync dashboard calendar events to your personal Google Calendar in real time. *** ### **Overview** The Google Calendar integration enables real-time synchronization of events from the Asset Panda Calendar widget directly to a user’s Google Calendar.This API-based integration provides instant updates and a seamless user-level sync experience. *** ### **Key Features** * Real-time event synchronization from Asset Panda to Google Calendar * One-time authentication using Google OAuth * Events sync at the individual user level * Automatic updates when events are modified in Asset Panda * No manual export or ICS link required *** ### **Prerequisites** Ensure the following before setup: * Access to the Asset Panda web application * A valid Google account * Permission to authenticate third-party apps with Google *** ### **Setting Up Google Calendar Integration** **Note:** Admins can install this integration from the Integration Store for their module, similar to other integrations. No configuration is required during setup. Follow these steps to connect your Google Calendar: #### **Step 1: Navigate to Calendar Settings** * Log in to the Asset Panda web application * Go to **Manage Profile** * Navigate to the **Calendar** section *** #### **Step 2: Authenticate with Google** * Click on **Connect Google Calendar** * A Google authentication window will open * Select your Google account * Review the requested permissions * Click **Allow** to proceed *** ### **Important Note (Unverified App Warning)** Since the application is not yet verified by Google, you will see a warning screen during authentication. To proceed: * Click **Advanced** * Select **Go to Asset Panda Pro (unsafe)** * Continue with authentication This is expected behavior, is not a security issue and does not impact functionality. *** ### **How the Integration Works** Once authentication is completed: * Your Google account is securely linked to Asset Panda * All events from the Calendar widget (dashboard) can be synced using the following steps: * Go to the dashboard * Click the three-dot menu on the desired calendar * Select “Add to Google Calendar” * A success toast message will confirm the sync * Events appear instantly in your Google Calendar * Any updates made in Asset Panda are reflected in real time #### **Multi-User Behavior** * If multiple users have access to the same events and have connected their Google Calendar: * The events will sync to each user’s respective Google Calendar individually *** ### **Limitations** * Sync is **one-way (Asset Panda → Google Calendar)** * Events created directly in Google Calendar will **not** sync back to Asset Panda * 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 *** ### **Troubleshooting** #### **Events Not Syncing** * Ensure Google authentication is completed successfully * Reconnect your Google account if needed * Confirm events are visible in the Asset Panda Calendar widget #### **Authentication Issues** * If blocked by Google warning screen: * Use **Advanced → Proceed to Asset Panda Pro** * Ensure browser pop-ups are enabled #### **Delayed Sync** * This integration is designed for real-time updates * If delays occur, try reconnecting the integration *** ### **Notes** * Provides a faster and more reliable syncing experience * Behavior related to event deletions, calendar selection, and certain advanced configurations may vary based on Google Calendar settings and permissions --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
