How to Sync Your 1-on-1s with Your Google Calendar

While manually managing your 1-on-1s is already super easy in Coach, you may want to simplify it even more by syncing your existing 1-on-1s in Google Calendar. 

Follow these quick and easy steps to set up this integration. Note: you'll need to authorize TINYpulse to access your Google calendar to use this feature.

Step-by-step Walkthrough

1. Navigate to the 1-on-1 tab in your Manager View.

2. Click on the Add 1-on-1 button in the top right corner.

3. Click on the Sync your Calendar tab and choose the Sync with Google option.

4. Log into your Google account and authorize TINYpulse to access your Google calendar.

5. Once your TINYpulse account is synced with your Google calendar, you will want to choose which meetings to add as 1-on-1s. You can then see and choose to sync the events with TINYpulse as a 1-on-1.

PLEASE NOTE: Google Calendar meetings will only be displayed as an option for a 1-on-1 if they meet all of the following conditions:

• The Google event must be a recurring meeting
• The Google event must only include you (the manager) and your direct report
• The privacy settings on your calendar event must be public so that TINYpulse can see the event
• The Google event must be a unique creation - please make sure that it is not duplicated from another event

Managing your synced 1-on-1s

Any 1-on-1s created with the Google integration will need to be managed in your Google calendar. You will no longer be able to change the day of the 1-on-1 or cancel a 1-on-1 in TINYpulse, as all changes will need to be made in your Google calendar. If you do not want to sync a 1-on-1 with your Google calendar any longer, just click on the three dots to the right of the 1-on-1 and select Unsync.

How to Merge your existing 1-on-1s with your Google meetings

If you have already manually added a 1-on-1 for this user on the 1-on-1 page, you will have the option to merge the manually created 1-on-1 with the synced Google event so you do not have any duplicate 1-on-1s.

1. Click on the Merge with Existing button.

2. Select the manually created 1-on-1 that you would like to merge with your synced Google event.

3. Save the merge.

4. Click Next, and your Google event will be successfully merged with your 1-on-1 in TINYpulse. Now any changes you make in Google will also update your 1-on-1 in TINYpulse.
