# Google Calendar

> How to connect Google Calendar to Pike to see events as time suggestions and put your allocations and time off on your calendar.

The Google Calendar integration connects each member's calendar to Pike. Meetings show up in your timesheet as suggestions to log, and your Pike allocations and time off appear on your calendar.

## Turn on Google Calendar

1. Go to **Workspace settings** → **Integrations** → **Google Calendar**.
2. Click **Add integration**.

Only workspace admins can turn Google Calendar on or off. Google Workspace admins can allow the Pike app for the domain in the Google admin console, so members are not asked to approve it one by one.

## Connect your calendar

1. Go to **Settings** → **Connections**.
2. Connect your Google account.
3. Choose what to turn on: **Calendar suggestions**, **Pike calendar**, or both.

Each member decides for their own calendar. Pike never reads anyone else's calendar.

## Calendar events as time suggestions

With **Calendar suggestions** on, your Google Calendar events show in **Log** → **Time** as suggested entries on the day they happen, with title and duration.

* Click a suggestion to log it. Pick the task, adjust the duration, and save. It becomes a normal time entry.
* Pike pre-selects a task when the event matches: the event title contains a project number, or an attendee's email domain belongs to a customer with one open project.
* Dismiss a suggestion to hide it. Declined, cancelled, all-day, and private events never show.

Suggestions are never logged on their own. Only what you save counts toward timesheets and approvals.

## Pike calendar

With **Pike calendar** on, Pike adds a calendar named **Pike** to your Google account with your allocations and approved time off. Events update when plans change in Pike. The calendar is read only: change allocations and time off in Pike.

## Disconnect

Turning Google Calendar off removes the Pike calendar and suggestions for everyone. Members can disconnect their own account under **Settings** → **Connections**.

## Permissions

Pike reads event title, time, and attendees only for members who turn on **Calendar suggestions**, and shows them only to that member. Private projects never appear in another member's suggestions or calendar.

## Limits

* Calendar events never change capacity. Capacity follows the member's contract and time off.
* Shared and secondary calendars are not read. Only your primary calendar is.
