Google Calendar Integration

Connecting your Google Calendar allows Sentikko to manage your scheduling availability and automatically create calendar events for new bookings.

Authentication & Security

Sentikko uses OAuth 2.0 to securely access your Google Calendar. We only request the minimum permissions necessary:

• View your calendars.
• View and edit events on all your calendars (to check availability and create bookings).

Offline Access

During the initial connection, we request offline access. This provides a refresh token, which allows our system to:

• Automatically refresh your access token 5 minutes before it expires.
• Keep your availability up-to-date even when you are not actively using the Sentikko dashboard.
• Successfully schedule appointments made through your public booking page at any time.

Setting Up the Integration

1. Go to Settings > Integrations in the Sentikko dashboard.
2. Find the Google Calendar card and click Connect.
3. You will be redirected to Google. Log in and click Allow (make sure to check the box for calendar management).
4. Once redirected back, your integration will be marked as Active.

Troubleshooting: Refresh Errors

If you see an error stating "No refresh token" or "Invalid credentials":

1. Navigate to your Google Account Permissions.
2. Find Sentikko and click Remove Access.
3. Return to the Sentikko dashboard, disconnect the integration, and reconnect it.
4. This will force Google to issue a new refresh token, resolving any persistent sync issues.

[!TIP] Automatic Meet Links: Every appointment created through Sentikko automatically includes a Google Meet link, so you don't have to manually create one.
