Overview
What the Google Calendar connection does.
Kai books meetings straight into your Google schedule.
Looks up free times
When a caller asks for an appointment, Kai checks your calendar in real time. He only offers times you have marked free.
Creates calendar events
When the caller picks a slot, Kai writes a new event on your calendar with their name, phone number, and service requested.
Avoids double bookings
Kai checks your personal calendar and any selected team calendars so he never books over an existing meeting.
Sends text confirmations
Kai can text the caller a confirmation with the date, time, and your business address.
Calendar choices
Booking calendar vs. conflict calendars.
Understanding these two settings makes your schedule work smoothly.
1. Your Booking Calendar (One calendar)
This is the calendar where new events get added. Most firms use their primary business calendar or an "Intake" calendar.
2. Conflict Calendars (One or more)
These are calendars Kai checks for busy blocks. You can check your personal calendar, holiday calendar, or staff calendars. Any busy event on these blocks that time slot.

Troubleshooting
Fix common Google Calendar issues.
Kai says no times are open
Check your conflict calendars. If an all-day event is set to "Busy", Google blocks the whole day. Set all-day events to "Free".
Wrong calendar receives events
Open Connections in KaiCalls and re-check your selected Booking Calendar dropdown.
Time zone difference
Ensure your Google Calendar time zone matches your KaiCalls business time zone in Settings.
Google login expired
Click Reconnect on the Google Calendar card in KaiCalls to refresh your Google token.
Leaving
How to disconnect Google Calendar.
Click Disconnect on the Google Calendar card in KaiCalls. Kai will stop reading your open times and booking new slots. All past events on your Google Calendar stay right where they are.
