Creating your first sync connection

What is a connection?

A connection tells 2calendars which calendars to sync and how. It links a source calendar to a destination calendar and defines what mirrored events should look like.

Creating a connection

1. Make sure you have at least two Google accounts connected to 2calendars.
2. From your dashboard, click Create Connection.
3. Select the source calendar — the calendar whose events you want to mirror.
4. Select the destination calendar — the calendar where mirrored blocks will appear.
5. Choose your sync direction: one-way or two-way.
6. Configure how mirrored events should appear. The default is a private “Busy” block with no details.
7. Click Create to activate the connection.

Events from your source calendar will begin appearing on your destination calendar within seconds.

Choosing your privacy settings

During connection setup, you can choose how mirrored events appear on the destination calendar:

• Busy (default) — Only a time block is shown. No title, description, or other details.
• Custom title — A label you define, such as “Personal” or “Client meeting.”
• Full details — The complete event title, description, and other metadata are copied.

You can change this setting at any time after creating the connection.

What happens next?

Once the connection is active, 2calendars monitors both calendars for changes. New events, updates, and cancellations are mirrored automatically. You can check the connection’s status on your dashboard to confirm events are syncing.

If something is not working as expected, check the health monitoring section of your dashboard for details.
