Integrate Allo Calendar with Google Calendar

Most adults rely on digital calendars now and one of the most popular digital calendars is Google Calendar. To make sure that people can utilize Allo’s collaborative calendar instantly without having to change any of the existing workflows, Allo provides Google Calendar integration for everyone to easily make their calendar events more collaborative. 

Once you integrate Allo Calendar with Google Calendar: 

• All the existing events you have on Google Calendar will automatically appear on Allo Calendar with a canvas.
• All the events you newly create in your Google Calendar will automatically appear on Allo Calendar with a canvas.
• When creating a new event(canvas) in Allo Calendar, you can choose to make it appear on your Google Calendar as well 

In this article, we will go through how to: 

• Integrate Allo Calendar with Google Calendar 
• Create a new event(canvas) in Allo Calendar that also appears on Google Calendar  
• Disconnect the integrated Google Calendar with Allo Calendar 
  

How to integrate Allo Calendar with Google Calendar
