Calendar Integration
Connecting a calendar is what makes guest booking work: PodcasterPlus checks your real schedule before offering times to guests, and adds confirmed recordings straight to your calendar.
To get there, open your podcast and go to Podcast Settings → Calendars. The page is titled Calendar Settings.
Connections belong to you
Calendar connections are personal: they belong to your user account, not to a single podcast. Connect once and every podcast you host can use it for booking availability.
What a Connected Calendar Does
- Prevents double-booking: when guests pick a time, PodcasterPlus checks your selected calendars to make sure you're free
- Creates calendar events: once you confirm a booking, an event is created automatically with all the details and a video meeting link
- Keeps things personal: each team member connects their own calendar
Connect Your Calendar
- Go to Podcast Settings → Calendars
- Click Connect Google Calendar
- Sign in with the Google account whose calendar you want to use
- Grant PodcasterPlus access when Google asks
You're returned to the Calendars page, where the new connection appears with a Connected badge.
PodcasterPlus currently supports Google Calendar.
Choose How Your Calendars Are Used
Click Configure on a connection to open its calendar list (the button becomes Hide while open). Two settings appear:
Check these calendars for availability
Tick every calendar that should count when PodcasterPlus looks for free time. All selected calendars are checked to find times when you're free.
Tick every calendar you actually use
If you keep work and personal events on separate calendars, select both. Otherwise a guest could book over your personal commitments.
Create booking events on
Choose the single calendar where confirmed booking events are created. This choice appears on your first connection only; additional connections are used for availability checking, and events always go to your first connected account (marked with an Events badge).
When you're done, click Save Preferences.
Connect More Than One Calendar
You can connect multiple Google accounts, up to your plan's per-user limit: 1 connection on Free, 2 on Creator, 3 on Studio, 5 on Production House, and unlimited on Enterprise.
These limits are per user, so each teammate gets their own allowance.
Fix a Broken Connection
Calendar access can expire, for example if you change your Google password or revoke access. When that happens, the connection shows an Error badge on the Calendars page along with the error message.
To fix it, disconnect and connect again:
- Click the trash icon on the affected connection
- Confirm in the Disconnect calendar? dialog by clicking Disconnect
- Click Connect Google Calendar and sign in with the same Google account
- Click Configure and re-select your availability calendars, then Save Preferences
Disconnect a Calendar
Use the same trash icon and Disconnect confirmation. You can reconnect the account at any time.
