Connecting Your Google Calendar to View Your Leave

✨ Keep your personal schedule aligned with your team by syncing Givver leave requests to your own Google Calendar. With just a quick setup, your approved leave will appear in your calendar automatically, so colleagues always know when you’re out.

Once your admin has set up the company Google Calendar integration, you can connect your own Google Calendar to:

  • See your approved leave requests in your personal Google Calendar

  • Automatically block your calendar as Out of Office when you’re away

  • Choose how your meetings are handled during time off

🔑 Step 1. Connect Your Google Account

  1. Go to My Settings in Givver → Integrations → Google Calendar.

  2. Click Connect and sign in with your Google account.

  3. Grant permission to Givver to add events in your calendar.

  4. Once connected, you’ll see the status marked as Connected ✅.

⚠️ If you disconnect, your leave will no longer appear in your personal calendar. It will still be visible in the company shared calendar.


📅 Step 2. Show Your Leave in Your Personal Calendar

  • Toggle Sync personal leaves to calendar → ON.

  • Your approved leave requests will now appear in your personal Google Calendar.

⚠️ Note: Your leave always appears in the company shared calendar (set by your admin). This option simply adds it to your personal calendar too.


📴 Step 3. Automatically Mark Time Off

  • Toggle Automatically mark time off → ON if you want Givver to set your leave as Out of Office in Google Calendar.

  • Only approved leave will be marked as Out of Office.


📌 Step 4. Decide How Meetings Are Handled

Choose one of two options:

  1. Decline new invitations only (default) → You’ll keep existing meetings, but new invites during your leave are automatically declined.

  2. Decline all meetings during time off → All meetings are automatically declined for the period of your leave.


✨ You’re all set! Your leave now syncs seamlessly with your personal calendar. so you stay organised and your team stays informed.
