Connecting Google Calendar
Setup, connecting more than one Google account, what Blue can read and write, and how quickly changes sync (Pro).
Blue can work directly with your Google Calendar: seeing what's on your plate, finding open time, and adding or moving events when you ask. Connecting takes a minute; Blue acting on your calendar is a Pro feature.
Connecting
Open Integrations and choose Google Calendar. On the web, Integrations lives in the header menu rather than the main navigation; on the mobile app it's a screen you open from settings. Google shows its account chooser, so you can pick any Google account, not only the one you signed in to Blue with. Grant access, then pick which calendars Blue should work with.
More than one Google account
Each Google account you connect keeps its own calendar list. On the card, tap Add another Google account and choose the account in Google's chooser. Every account appears as its own row with its calendars, its own Configure, and its own Remove. Removing one account leaves the others connected.
When you ask Blue to add an event, it goes on the primary calendar of the account you connected first unless you name a calendar. Say "put it on my work calendar" and Blue uses that one.
You can disconnect at any time. Disconnecting also revokes Blue's access on Google's side, so nothing lingers.
If your calendar lives in iCloud instead, see Connecting Apple Calendar.
What Blue can do
Once connected, you don't manage anything from a settings screen. You just talk to Blue in chat, and it acts:
- See what's coming up and talk it through with you
- Create events, including recurring ones
- Move, update, or cancel events you point it at
- Find open time: "when am I free for a two-hour block this week?"
How quickly changes sync
Blue stays close to real time. It subscribes to a live update channel from Google, so most changes show up within moments, and a background sync sweeps every 30 minutes as a backstop. If you add something in your phone's calendar app, Blue will know about it shortly after.
The tier
Blue reading and acting on your calendar is part of Pro. On Free and Plus, Blue can't touch your calendar: its calendar tools only load on Pro. While your 14-day trial is active you have full access; if a trial lapses to Free, Blue stops acting on connected apps. Your connection stays saved, and Blue can act on it again the moment you upgrade.
If Blue isn't picking up a calendar change, see Troubleshooting common issues.
