# Calendar Integration

> Connect your calendars to let AI draft responses based on your actual availability.

## Overview

Inbox Zero's calendar integration enables the AI assistant to draft email responses based on your actual calendar availability. It checks all your connected calendars (work and personal) and suggests available time slots or includes your booking link — eliminating scheduling back-and-forth.

## Getting Started

1. **Navigate to the Calendars page** — Click `Calendars` in the sidebar
2. **Connect your calendar** — Choose Google Calendar or Microsoft (Outlook) Calendar, authorize access, and select which calendars to sync
3. **Configure settings** (optional) — Set your timezone and add a booking link (Calendly, Google Calendar, Microsoft Bookings, etc.) that the AI can include in draft responses

<Note>
  You can connect multiple calendars — perfect if you manage work and personal calendars separately.
</Note>

## How It Works

When you receive emails asking about your availability, your AI assistant automatically:

1. **Checks your connected calendars** for conflicts
2. **Identifies available time slots** that match the request
3. **Drafts a response** with accurate availability or your booking link

## Meeting Briefs

Connecting your calendar also enables [Meeting Briefs](/essentials/meeting-briefs), which sends you AI-generated briefings before meetings with external contacts.
