Quick start checklist: syncing in 60 seconds

Before you start

Make sure you have two or more Google accounts with Google Calendar enabled. That is all you need.

Checklist

1. Sign up — Create your 2calendars account. No credit card required.
2. Connect your first Google account — Click “Connect Google Account” and authorize access through Google.
3. Connect your second Google account — Repeat the process for your other account.
4. Create a connection — Select a source calendar, a destination calendar, and choose one-way or two-way sync.
5. Choose your privacy level — The default is “Busy” blocks. Change to custom titles or full details if you prefer.
6. Done — Your calendars are now syncing. Create a test event on one calendar and watch it appear on the other within seconds.

Verify it is working

After creating your connection, add a quick test event to your source calendar. Within a few seconds, you should see the corresponding block appear on your destination calendar. If you chose two-way sync, try adding an event on the other side as well.

What to do next

• Add more connections — If you have more than two calendars, create additional connections as needed.
• Set up sync rules — Use tags like [nosync] to exclude specific events from syncing.
• Explore custom titles — Show a label like “Personal” or “Client work” instead of generic “Busy” blocks.
• Upgrade to Pro — If you need more than one connection, the Pro plan gives you unlimited connections with a 14-day free trial.
