# Google Calendar

Google Calendar, a vital component of Google Workspace, is an indispensable tool for scheduling, managing events, and setting reminders. It's widely utilized for its convenience and user-friendly features in both personal and professional settings. Integrating Google Calendar with our Business Chatbot transforms how you interact with your schedule. This integration empowers the chatbot to access your calendar events, providing smarter, context-aware responses tailored to your schedule and commitments.

## Setting Up the Google Calendar Connector

To connect Google Calendar to our Business Chatbot dashboard, you'll need to create an OAuth App in the Google Developer Console. Follow these steps after logging into the console:

**Step 1.** Create a project and enable the Google Calendar API. [Follow this link](https://console.developers.google.com/).

**Step 3.** Enable access to the Google Calendar API for this project. Go to "Libraries", search for "Google Calendar API" and click "Enable".

**Step 4.** Configure the OAuth consent screen. [Follow this link](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/consent).

* **Step 5.** Select "Internal" as the user type and provide the app information:
  * App Name (e.g., "Nisa")
  * User support email
