# Task Calendar

> Connect Google Calendar to Minibuddies. View events in the dashboard and let agents reference your schedule when planning and prioritizing.

## What is the Task Calendar?

The **Task Calendar** in Minibuddies displays your events in a calendar view inside the dashboard. When you connect **Google Calendar**, you can sync your meetings, deadlines, and events to the Minibuddies calendar. You can view your schedule at a glance and - when relevant - agents can use your calendar to help plan, prioritize, and suggest next steps.

The calendar does not create or edit events by default; it primarily surfaces your existing schedule. Sync does not happen automatically - you sync your calendar to Minibuddies when you need to. Agent capabilities may expand over time.

## Connecting Google Calendar

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    From the dashboard, click **Integrations** in the sidebar. You'll see a list of available integrations, including Google Calendar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find Google Calendar">
    Locate **Google Calendar** in the integrations list. It may be grouped with other Google services (e.g., Gmail, Drive).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Connect">
    Click **Connect** or **Authorize** for Google Calendar. You'll be redirected to Google's sign-in and permission screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in and approve">
    Sign in to your Google account if needed. Review the permissions Minibuddies is requesting. Typically this includes read access to your calendar events. Approve the request to complete the connection.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify connection">
    After approval, you're redirected back to Minibuddies. The Google Calendar integration should show as **Connected**. You can then sync your calendar events to the Task Calendar section when needed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Minibuddies requests only the permissions needed to read your calendar. Your credentials are stored securely and used only to fetch your events. You can disconnect the integration at any time from the Integrations section.

## Viewing your calendar

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Task Calendar">
    From the dashboard, click **Task Calendar** or **Calendar** in the sidebar. The calendar view loads with your events after you sync your calendar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate the calendar">
    Use the calendar controls to switch between day, week, and month views. Navigate forward and backward to see different time ranges. Your events appear as blocks or entries on the calendar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="View event details">
    Click an event to see more details - title, time, description, and other metadata that Google Calendar provides.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How agents use your calendar

When you ask an agent for help with scheduling, planning, or prioritization, it may reference your calendar if the integration is connected. For example:

* "What do I have scheduled tomorrow?"
* "When am I free for a 30-minute call this week?"
* "Summarize my meetings for today."

Agents use calendar data only in response to your requests. They don't automatically modify events unless you explicitly ask them to and the feature is supported.

<Tip>
  For scheduling-related prompts, mention that you want the agent to use your calendar. For example: "Check my calendar and suggest three time slots for a 1-hour meeting next week."
</Tip>

## Disconnecting Google Calendar

If you want to disconnect your Google Calendar:

1. Go to **Integrations** in the sidebar.
2. Find **Google Calendar**.
3. Click **Disconnect** or **Remove**.
4. Confirm the action.

You will no longer be able to sync your calendar to Minibuddies. Past events that were displayed in the Task Calendar may be cleared. Your actual Google Calendar is unchanged.

## Troubleshooting

### Events aren't showing

* Verify the integration is connected (Integrations section shows "Connected").
* Ensure you have synced your calendar to Minibuddies. Sync does not happen automatically.
* Check that your Google account has calendar events.
* Ensure you granted calendar read permissions during connection.

### Wrong calendar or missing events

* Google accounts can have multiple calendars. When you sync, Minibuddies may use your primary calendar. Support for multiple calendars depends on the implementation.
* If you use a different Google account for work, connect that account's calendar.

### Connection failed

* Ensure pop-ups aren't blocked for minibuddies.ai.
* Try a different browser or incognito/private window.
* Clear cookies and cache, then try connecting again.
* Verify your Google account is in good standing.
