Google Calendar stopped syncing: how to reconnect it
It's almost always because Google revoked access (password change, permissions removed, security alert). Under Settings › Calendars › Connections, click Reconnect and authorize with the same Google account. If that doesn't fix it, delete the connection and add it again with + Add New.

Before you start
- The person reconnecting must own the Google account and be signed in to the CRM as their own user. You can't connect someone else's Google account from a "login as" session.
- Have the Google account's email and password handy and be ready to approve the requested permissions.
- Deleting and reconnecting doesn't erase appointments already in the CRM; sync resumes afterwards.
Where to find it
Settings › Calendars › Connections
Step by step
Understand what happened
- Typical signs: new bookings don't appear in Google Calendar, a "disconnected" message shows, or a red banner asks you to reconnect.
- Usual causes: you changed the Google account password, removed permissions in Google's settings, Google blocked access over suspicious activity, or the authorization expired.
Try first: reconnect
- Open Settings › Calendars and click Connections.
- If the Google account shows a missing-permissions warning or a Reconnect button, click it. You can also check under Settings › Integrations › Google.
- In Google's window, pick the same account that was already connected and accept every permission requested.
- Back in the CRM, confirm the account shows as connected under Connections. Upcoming bookings that weren't synced are pushed automatically.
If that doesn't fix it: delete and connect again
- Under Connections, in Connected Calendars, click the trash icon next to the Google account (you can also do this under Settings › My Profile › Calendar Settings).
- Check the acknowledgement box and click Confirm.
- Click + Add New, choose Google Calendar, sign in with the right account and authorize the connection.
- Select the linked calendar and conflict calendars again under Calendar Configuration.
Test it
- Create a test appointment in the CRM and confirm it appears in Google Calendar.
- Create an event in Google and confirm it blocks the slot in the CRM. If it still fails, contact support.
Tips
- Whenever you change the Google account's password or security settings, re-authorize the connection so sync doesn't drop.
- Each user can connect several accounts, but only one primary calendar syncs.
Common problems
- The Google account shows connected but nothing syncs → Permissions are missing. Under Settings › Integrations › Google, click Reconnect and accept all permissions.
- The account is connected but the calendar I want isn't available to pick → Connecting the account and selecting the calendar are separate steps. Under Calendar Configuration, edit the linked calendar and choose the right one; make sure it belongs to the account or was shared with sufficient access.
- My account isn't in Google's account chooser → Use the option to sign in with another account and enter the right one. Don't connect a different account just because the old one isn't listed.
- The calendar was deleted in Google and there's an error → Under Connections, click Fix This, then Remove Deleted Calendars, and pick a valid calendar.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose appointments if I delete the connection?
No. Existing appointments stay in the CRM. After reconnecting, upcoming ones sync again.
Can I connect a different Google account?
Yes. After deleting the old connection, you can sign in with another account; make sure it's the one holding the right events.
