Connecting your Google calendar
If you'd like to update the connected calendar from when you created your account, you can visit the “Apps & Integrations” page to view and modify your current integrations.
If you have multiple shared calendars under your main Google calendar account, Google has an FAQ on calendar sharing. After sharing, if you don't see the new calendars, we recommend disconnecting and reconnecting your calendar here to refresh the list.
Readouts - Gmail sync
If you’d like to receive Readouts, but did not sync your Gmail inbox during account setup, you can enable "Gmail Sync to Read" on the "Apps & Integrations" page under the 'Productivity' tab.
Once your Gmail is integrated, a green popup message will confirm that your gmail has been successfully connected to your Read account.
Please note that Readouts are currently exclusive to paid users, but new users or users with a new integration within the last 14 days will receive one Readout report.
Connecting to Google Docs
If you’d like to generate and share live meeting notes and transcriptions in Google Docs, scroll to the ‘Notetaking’ tab in the “Apps & Integrations” page and connect your Google Docs account. For more information on the Google Docs integration, please visit this page.
