FAQs
Q: Once connected, how long does it take for my Google Calendars to Sync?
A: Depending on how many events you have on your Google Calendar, it can take several minutes. We recommend giving 5-10 minutes.
Q: Can I connect several different Google Accounts?
A: No. Only one Google Account can be connected at a time. However, you can have multiple calendars synced from that Google Account.
Because you can only connect ONE Google Account, attempting to connect additional Google Accounts will disconnect any previous connections.
Solution: If you need to connect multiple Google Accounts, we recommend sharing your calendars through Google to the Google account connected to 17hats. Then those calendars can sync through your Google Account Connection.
Q: What if someone shares their Google Calendar with me? Can that shared calendar be synced to 17hats?
A: Yes, calendars shared within Google can be synced to 17hats. This is also a great solution if you need to sync multiple Google Accounts.
Q: I've been told that I can use Google as an intermediate connection between 17hats and another calendar application like Apple Calendars. Where can I learn more?
