    Update meeting times, audio settings, guests, locations, and more from Google Calendar.

    If you are logged into GoTo Meeting, any changes you make and complete by clicking Save are reflected in your account, and can be viewed in your online portal.

    Notice: The GoTo Meeting Google Chrome extension is no longer available in the web store. We encourage you to switch to the GoTo Meeting Add-On for Google Calendar.

    Modify a meeting

    I added to my mac a Google Internet account, and ticked "Calendars".

    In the Calendar application, my google calendar and related events indeed appear.

    I have been invited to an event created by someone else using google calendar.

    This person created this event as being modifiable by guests.

    When I visit this event using calendar.google.com, I can edit the event.

    But when I open the event using the mac Calendar application, I can not edit the event.

    (note: on the mac Calendar, I can edit events I create myself for my google calendar).

    note: Calendar version 8.0

    To edit the interview scheduled with the Google Calendar integration, you must have one of the following things:

    • You must be the original scheduler of the interview.
    • You must have "manage/edit" access to the calendar that the event was scheduled on.

    These permissions are based on your Google/Gmail account, and not related to your user permissions in Greenhouse Recruiting.

    In other words, if another user scheduled an interview, it was likely scheduled on their personal work calendar associated with their specific Google account, which other users can't modify unless they're given specific permissions.

    Best practices

    If your organization wants to have multiple users modify a Google calendar, we typically suggest creating a shared calendar in Google and granting manage/edit access to all the users responsible for scheduling. Using a shared calendar ensures that multiple people can update interviews if the original scheduler is unavailable.  Click here for more information on creating a shared calendar. 

    You can change your calendar’s view, notification, and event settings.

    How do I make my Google Calendar editable?

    On your computer, open Google Calendar. Settings. On the left, under "Settings for my calendars," click the name of the calendar you want to share. Under "Access permissions for events," check the box next to "Make available to public."

    Where is the edit button on Google Calendar?

    From either calendar view, single click on an event to see more details. Then click the edit button which is a pencil icon located at the top. The edit calendar item button is at the top next to the delete trash can.

    Why can't I delete an event from my Google Calendar?

    If you didn't have edit access to the calendar the event was created on, you won't see the event in the Trash. There's a separate Trash for each calendar you have. Try looking in the Trash for other calendars. Anyone who has edit access to your calendar can delete events forever or restore them.

    Why can't I add an event to my Google Calendar?

    This usually indicates you do not have permissions to edit or add events to the calendar you picked. To fix this, ask the calendar owner to give you editing privileges on Google Calendar, and then reconnect your Google Calendar account in Zapier.
