# Calendar Integration

> Connect calendars for AI scheduling, availability, booking links, and meeting briefs.

Connected calendars let the assistant check your real availability when it drafts scheduling replies, so it can offer times that actually work. The **Calendars** page also manages weekly availability, booking links, timezone, and the calendars used for conflict checks.

## Connect a Calendar

1. Open **Calendars** in the left sidebar.
2. Connect Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook Calendar and authorize access.
3. Choose which calendars should be checked for availability.
4. Confirm your timezone.

You can connect multiple calendars, such as separate work and personal calendars. Select the calendars that should block time so the assistant does not offer conflicting slots.

## Weekly Availability

In the **Availability** section, set the hours the assistant is allowed to suggest for each day of the week. These hours use the timezone shown on the **Calendars** page. Calendar events still block otherwise available time.

## Booking Links

You can either:

* Create an [Inbox Zero booking link](/essentials/booking-links), or
* Add an existing Calendly, Google Calendar, Microsoft Bookings, or other booking URL for the assistant to share.

Guests can book available times and use the booking page to reschedule or cancel.

## AI Scheduling

When an email asks about availability, the assistant can:

1. Check connected calendars for conflicts.
2. Restrict suggestions to your weekly availability.
3. Draft a response with available times or your configured booking link.

## Meeting Briefs

Connecting a calendar also enables [Meeting Briefs](/essentials/meeting-briefs), which prepares context before meetings with external guests.
