Connect Google Calendar

Connecting your Google account is optional, and it is yours alone — each person connects their own. It puts the meetings you schedule here onto your Google Calendar, and it is what makes automatic Google Meet links possible.

What connecting does

• Meetings you create here appear on your Google Calendar, so the calendar you already check keeps showing everything.
• Google Meet links can be generated for you. Without a connection there is no calendar for Google to attach a conference to — see Add a video link.
• It is per person. Connecting your account does nothing for your colleagues, and theirs does nothing for you.
• Nothing breaks without it. Meetings, guests and invitations all work unconnected; you simply paste your own video link instead of having one made.

Which way it syncs

• Create a meeting here, and it is added there. That is the whole of the sync.
• Changes follow it. Edit a meeting in NevTan Mail and the Google event is updated to match; cancel it here and the Google event is removed.
• Google notifies your guests as well. The event is created with Google's own notifications switched on, so a guest may receive both the invitation NevTan Mail sends and Google's — two messages about one meeting, which is expected rather than a fault.

Connect your account

1. Open the calendar: Go to Calendar and choose Connect Google Calendar.
2. Sign in and allow: You're taken to Google to sign in and review the permissions. Approve them to finish.
3. You're connected: NevTan Mail shows the connected Google email address. New meetings can now sync and generate Meet links.

What NevTan Mail can access

• One permission is requested — manage calendar events, which Google names calendar.events. It is the narrowest scope that can put an event on your calendar.
• It is used for your meetings only. NevTan Mail creates, updates and removes the meetings you schedule here, and does nothing else with it — it never lists or imports the events already on your calendar.
• Nothing beyond your calendar is requested. Your Google mail, contacts and files are not part of this permission and cannot be reached with it.
• Your data is not sold and is not used for advertising. The Privacy Policy sets out what is kept and for how long.

Disconnect

You can disconnect at any time from the Calendar screen. It takes effect immediately:

• The stored authorization is deleted, so NevTan Mail can no longer reach your calendar at all.
• Meetings already on your Google Calendar stay there. Disconnecting removes the link, not your past events — you will need to delete any you no longer want from Google Calendar itself.
• New meetings stop syncing, and Meet no longer generates links, so you are back to pasting your own.
• It affects only you. Colleagues who connected their own accounts are unaffected.
• You can also revoke it from Google's side, in your Google account's security settings, which has the same effect from the other direction.
