Google Calendar sync

This feature requires PRO mode.

You can synchronise Round Robin with Google Calendar. The two main features are:

  • Visualize your current and future duties directly in your Google Calendar;
  • Use the OOO (Out of Office) functions of Google Calendar to inform Round Robin you will not be able to pick a duty at a specific time/day, and have Round Robin do the rest.

Connect to Google Calendar

To enable Google Calendar, go to Settings> Integrations and click "Connect to Google Calendar".


Manage Google Calendar

Once you are connected to Google Calendar, everything is automatic. However, you may want to force specific actions due to missing events. In this case, you have the following options.

  • Refreshing the Google Calendar connection will force the connection process once more. Useful if you want to force a Google Token refresh.
  • Disconnecting Google Calendar will disable the functionality and remove all events from your calendar.
  • Force sync will forcibly ask Round Robin to clear and recreate all Round Robin events in the calendar.
  • Remove all rotation events will remove all events from the calendar but it will not recreate them again. All events will be synced again after the next rotation event.

Change the connected calendars

By default, Round Robin uses the calendar associated with your email address (your primary Google calendar). You can, however, use different calendars for both events and OOO data.

To do this, use the "Change active calendars for events and OOO" item from the Google connection dropdown.

You can use different calendars for Events and OOO data.

You cannot have OOO events in shared Google calendars. This is how Google works.

To overcome this limitation and still allow teams that use shared calendars to use them with Round Robin, if you select a shared calendar (not your primary calendar identified by your email address), we will sync EVENTS and consider them OOO.

You can filter those events and only choose things that matter, for example, "only events with the word Vacation in it". Also, you need to be the creator or an invitee to that event.
