How to Set Up Google Calendar Integration in 3 Minutes
A quick walkthrough for connecting your Google Calendar to Stintt and configuring your first mapping rules.
How to Set Up Google Calendar Integration
Connecting your Google Calendar to Stintt takes less than 3 minutes. Here is exactly how to do it.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A Stintt account (sign up free)
- A Google account with Calendar access
- At least one recurring event on your calendar
Step 1: Navigate to Sources
Click Sources in the top navigation bar. You will see a list of available calendar integrations.
Step 2: Connect Google Calendar
Click the Google Calendar card and authorize access. We request read-only permissions — we never modify your calendar.
What Permissions Do We Need?
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| View calendar events | To read your events for timesheet mapping |
| View calendar list | To let you choose which calendars to sync |
We follow the principle of least privilege. We only request what we absolutely need.
Step 3: Select Calendars
After authorization, you will see all your calendars listed. Toggle on the ones you want to track:
- Work calendar — primary events
- Project calendars — if you use separate calendars per project
- Shared calendars — for team meetings
Step 4: Create Mapping Rules
Navigate to Preview & Export to see your events. Use the rule builder to define how events map to timesheet entries:
Event contains "standup" → Project: INTERNAL, Task: Daily Sync
Event contains "client" → Project: CLIENT-A, Task: Meeting
Default → Project: GENERAL, Task: WorkStep 5: Export Your First Timesheet
Click Export and choose your format. Your timesheet is ready!
Troubleshooting
Events not showing up?
- Make sure you selected the correct calendar in Step 3
- Check that your events are not marked as "Free" (we skip free slots by default)
- Allow up to 60 seconds for the initial sync
Wrong timezone?
We auto-detect your timezone from your browser. You can override it in Settings > Preferences.
