Step-by-Step
Setup Instructions
Connect Google Calendar to IntelBuddy using OAuth in about 10 minutes.
Enable the Google Calendar API
Turn on the Calendar API in your Google Cloud project.
Go to console.cloud.google.com
Select or create a project
Go to APIs & Services → Library
Search for "Google Calendar API"
Click on it and click "Enable"

Create OAuth Credentials
Generate a Client ID and Client Secret so IntelBuddy can access your calendar securely.
Go to APIs & Services → Credentials
Click "+ Create Credentials" → "OAuth client ID"
Set application type to "Web application"
Name it (e.g. "IntelBuddy Calendar")
Under "Authorized redirect URIs", add the redirect URL from IntelBuddy (see Step 4)
Click "Create"
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret
console.cloud.google.com → APIs & Services → Credentials

Copy All
Keep the Client Secret private. Never share it publicly. You can always view it again in the Google Cloud Console if needed.
Configure the OAuth Consent Screen
Set up the consent screen that appears when you authorize IntelBuddy.
Go to APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen
Choose "External" user type (or "Internal" for Google Workspace)
Fill in the App name (e.g. "IntelBuddy") and support email
Under Scopes, add: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar
Under Test users, add your Google email
Click "Save and Continue"
Why "Test users"? While the app is in "Testing" mode, only the email addresses you add here can authorize it. For production use, you can publish the app later.
Paste Into IntelBuddy
Enter your Client ID and Client Secret, then configure the redirect URI.
Go to Settings → Integrations → External Tools
Find the Google Calendar card → click "Configure"
Paste your Client ID and Client Secret
Copy the Redirect URI shown by IntelBuddy
Go back to Google Cloud → add this URI to your OAuth credential's "Authorized redirect URIs"
Click "Save / Connect" in IntelBuddy
IntelBuddy → Settings → Integrations → Google Calendar

Troubleshooting
"redirect_uri_mismatch" error
The redirect URI in Google Cloud must exactly match the one shown in IntelBuddy — no trailing slash, no http vs https mismatch. Copy-paste it directly.
"Access blocked: app not verified"
While in testing mode, only emails listed under Test users in the OAuth consent screen can authorize the app. Add your email there, or publish the app for broader access.
"Calendar API not enabled" error
Go back to Google Cloud → APIs & Services → Library and make sure the Google Calendar API is enabled (not just searched for, but actually toggled on).
Events created on wrong calendar
By default, events are created on your primary calendar. If you have multiple calendars, specify which one when creating events, or set a default in IntelBuddy settings.
Token expired or revoked
OAuth tokens can expire or be revoked (e.g. from myaccount.google.com/permissions). Reconnect by clicking "Authorize with Google" again in IntelBuddy.
Google Workspace admin restrictions
Some Google Workspace orgs restrict third-party app access. Your admin may need to allow the app's Client ID in Admin Console → Security → API Controls.
