Prerequisites

Before connecting your Google Calendar with GHL, make sure you have these ready:

A working Google account
Access to your GHL sub-account
Permission to manage calendar settings
A calendar without any permission conflicts

Keep in mind

Calendar links are set per user. Each person on your team should connect their own Google Calendar separately.

How to Connect Google Calendar with GHL

Log into your GHL sub-account. Click on Settings in the sidebar.

Go to the Connections tab. Hit the + Add New button to start linking your calendar

Common Issues and Troubleshooting Tips

Even if you do everything carefully, things might go wrong. Here are some common issues and tips to resolve them.

Calendar Not Syncing

Sometimes your calendar may not sync properly between Google Calendar and GHL. This usually happens if you did not give full permissions when connecting your Google account.

Try disconnecting and reconnecting your Google Calendar inside GHL. Also, double-check that you are logged into the correct Google account before reconnecting.

Missing Google Calendars

If you cannot see your Google Calendars when trying to connect with GHL, it may be because you are logged into multiple Google accounts in your browser.

The best fix is to log out of all Google accounts first. Then, log back in only with the Google account linked to your calendar. Then, try connecting again.

Sync Stopped Working Suddenly

Sometimes syncing works fine and then suddenly stops. This can happen if your connection token expires, if the Google Calendar you connected was deleted, or if the permissions you gave earlier were revoked.

When this happens, you will need to reconnect your Google Calendar through the GHL calendar connections page to restore syncing.

Double Bookings Still Occur

Even after connecting calendars, you might still get double bookings. This often means that your conflict calendars are not set up correctly in GHL.

Make sure you add all calendars you want to block off as conflict calendars.

Also, check your availability settings to avoid any overlaps or gaps that could cause double bookings.

Events Not Showing on Both Calendars

If events appear in one calendar but not the other, it is usually because you did not allow full “read and write” permissions during setup.

Also, syncing can take a few minutes, so give it some time and refresh your calendars.

If the problem continues, try clearing your browser cache and reload both GHL and Google Calendar.

Pro Tip

Always use the latest browser version for the best experience. Keep your GHL account updated and watch for any system alerts. Tried everything and still have problems? Reach out to GHL support for help.
