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 your recording link. Connecting a calendar does not turn Google Meet on by itself: the platform is an explicit choice per booking link. If you pick Google Meet, the invite carries a Meet button; on any other platform it carries your own link in the event's location and description
• Keeps things personal: each team member connects their own calendar

Connect Your Calendar

1. Go to Podcast Settings → Calendars
2. Click Connect Google Calendar
3. Sign in with the Google account whose calendar you want to use
4. 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

Each connected account shows its calendar list right on the page, loaded automatically. Two settings appear per account:

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; anything busy on them blocks the slot. A Select all button covers the whole list in one click, and read-only calendars (like holiday calendars) are marked with a badge; they can be checked for conflicts but can't hold events.

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 account badge).

When you're done, use the Unsaved changes bar at the bottom of the page: Save changes stores every ticked calendar and the events choice in one go, and Discard puts everything back. Connecting, reconnecting, and disconnecting accounts apply immediately and skip the bar.

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.

When you're already at your plan's limit, clicking Connect Google Calendar shows an upgrade prompt instead of starting the Google sign-in.

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 a Needs reconnecting badge on the Calendars page along with the error message, and the page's status pill switches to Booking paused if no other calendar is connected.

To fix it:

1. Click Reconnect on the affected connection
2. Sign in with the same Google account
3. Re-select your availability calendars from the account's list, then Save changes. Reconnecting resets the selection to that account's primary calendar, so this step matters if you had picked others

Reconnecting replaces the broken connection rather than adding a new one, so it works even when you're at your plan's connection limit. If you sign in with a different Google account instead, that counts as a new connection and your plan's limit applies.

Disconnect a Calendar

Use the same trash icon and Disconnect confirmation. You can reconnect the account at any time.
