Now, you can select an existing Google Calendar when you set up synchronization in Planfix, meaning that meetings you\u2019ve already scheduled will show up instantly. No more manual transfers! Now, let\u2019s take a look at how this magic works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, create an Hourly calendar and save it. Then go to the \u201cSettings:\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.pfx.so\/pf\/Qi\/X9kC6O.png\" alt=\"Calendar Setting in Planfix Planner\" title=\"Setting the Calendar in Planner | Planfix\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Next, navigate to the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/integrations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Integrations<\/a>\u201d section and click &#8220;Link&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.pfx.so\/pf\/wI\/BWQLuS.png\" alt=\"Setting the Integration to the Calendar\" title=\"Setting the Integration to the Calendar | Planfix\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Once you give Google permission to access your account, simply select the calendar you want to synchronize:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.pfx.so\/pf\/yy\/p4jTph.png\" alt=\"Allowing Access to Google Calendar\" title=\"Access to Google Calendar | Planfix\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the kicker: all the default settings for two-way synchronization are already enabled, so any changes you make in either calendar will update instantly. So, when you save the settings, you will instantly see all your scheduled events from Google Calendar in your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/features\/planner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Planfix Planner<\/a>.
