Google Calendar Integration

GivePulse offers Google Calendar Integration as an Add-On feature, making it easy for volunteers to manage their schedules and find time for volunteering! Once connected, volunteers can handle event registrations directly from their calendar. 

Google Calendar integration is designed for individual users to view their own registrations easily. The integration syncs registration statuses between GivePulse and Google Calendar for group members.

To use this feature, volunteers need a GivePulse account linked to an email that Google Calendar supports. 

When a registration status is updated in GivePulse, it will be synced with Google Calendar, and vice versa.

• If a user updates their registration status (e.g., "yes" or "no") from their Google Calendar, the change will be reflected in the registration status on GP.
• If "maybe" is selected in Google Calendar, it will be set as "waiting for approval" or "waitlist" in GP."

A summary of the ongoing set of settings supported by our Google Calendar integration:

• Registration status is displayed in Google Calendar on the attendee's calendar.
• Single Event Registrations.
• Shifts and Timeslot Registrations.
• Open opportunities are only shown on the calendar if there is a registration.
• Users with Google syncing enabled can see all events they register for.
• "Maybe" status in Google Calendar corresponds to "waiting for approval" or "waitlist."
• If registration cancellation is restricted after a specific date in event registration settings, users cannot cancel registrations after that date.
• Timeslot events without a specific end time only appear on the calendar if there is a registration record attached.
• Users cannot click "yes" from Google Calendar for events with statuses "waiting for approval," "unconfirmed," or "waitlist."
• GCal integration doesn't support admins to see all of their volunteers' registrations. You can view registrations from the Admin Dashboard by following this article: Manage Registration with Calendar View.

Users will receive a calendar invite to their Google Calendar when they register to an event on GivePulse.

Once accepted within Google Calendar, the registration record is updated in GivePulse

Through the GCal integration, all events a volunteer or user has registered to will appear in their registered email on GivePulse on the supported Google Calendar.
