Connecting your Google Calendar to a scheduling app is the step that makes booking pages actually reflect your real availability. Here's the complete guide.
Step 1: Choose a Scheduling Tool That Supports Multiple Google Accounts
If you have more than one Google account (work + personal), choose a tool that can connect and check multiple accounts simultaneously. Cal Clear supports unlimited Google Calendar connections on the free plan.
Step 2: Start the Authorization Flow
At calclear.app, click 'Connect your calendar — it's free' and select your primary Google account. Google shows an authorization screen listing what Cal Clear is requesting access to.
Step 3: Understand What Access You're Granting
Cal Clear asks for free/busy access to check conflicts, read-only access to list your calendars so you can choose which ones to check, and event access to add the bookings it creates. It checks WHEN you're busy with free/busy queries and never reads your event titles, descriptions, attendees, or other event content.
Step 4: Authorize and Complete Initial Setup
After authorizing, Cal Clear redirects you to the setup page where you set working hours and booking preferences. Your calendar is now connected and all your existing events create unavailability on your booking page.
Step 5: Connect Additional Google Accounts
In Cal Clear's settings, find 'Calendar Connections' and click 'Add Google Calendar'. This initiates a new OAuth flow for your secondary Google account. Authorize with the same calendar permissions. Repeat for each additional account.
Step 6: Verify the Connection Works
Add a test event to one of your connected calendars. Visit your Cal Clear booking link and confirm that the time block is no longer showing as available.
