Connect your Google Calendar so that 1-on-1s scheduled in 15Five appear automatically on your calendar. When complete, the Schedule 1-on-1 settings panel will show your calendar as connected.
Before You Begin
- An Account Admin must enable the Google Calendar integration at the account level before this option is available to you. See Configure Google Calendar for 1-on-1s.
- Connecting your Google Calendar removes the ability to create recurring 1-on-1s in 15Five. See for the recommended workaround.
Steps
- Go to 1-on-1s in the left-hand navigation.
- Open an existing unscheduled 1-on-1.
- To create a new one instead, see Create a new 1-on-1 agenda.
- Click Schedule 1-on-1 on the left side of the screen.
- Click Connect your calendar at the bottom of the settings panel.
- Select the Google account associated with your 15Five account.
- Click Continue to authenticate with Google.
- Complete Google's authentication flow and return to 15Five.
Confirmation: The Schedule 1-on-1 settings panel shows your Google Calendar as connected. Future 1-on-1s scheduled in 15Five will appear on your calendar.
