Connect Google Calendar
Connect, pick a calendar, backfill, resync and disconnect.
Connect Google Calendar and Ferio writes your approved leave straight into a calendar you choose. Your teammates see you as out of office without you having to add anything by hand, and the events update as your requests change.
Connect your account
Open your Profile and go to the Calendar tab. Click Connect Google Calendar and sign in to Google, then grant Ferio permission to see your calendars and manage events. You are sent back to the Calendar tab, where the card now shows a green Connected badge and the Google account you linked.
Pick a calendar
Once connected, choose which calendar the events land in. Ferio lists every calendar you can write to, with your primary calendar at the top and a coloured dot matching Google's own colours. Select one and click Save.
The moment you save, Ferio backfills this year's approved leave into the calendar so your existing time off appears right away, not only future approvals. A progress bar shows the count as it works. You can change calendar later with Change calendar; Ferio removes the events from the old calendar and rebuilds them on the new one.
Only calendars you have writer access to appear in the list. If a shared calendar is missing, ask its owner to give you edit rights in Google first.
Resync and holidays
Ferio keeps the calendar current as requests are approved or cancelled. If something looks out of date, or you deleted an event in Google by hand, click Resync now to push any missing events again. If everything is already up to date, Ferio tells you so instead of starting a job.
Turn on Sync public holidays to add your country profile's holidays to the same calendar. See Sync public holidays for the detail. How each event reads (its title, description and busy status) is set workspace-wide in the calendar event template.
Disconnect
Click Disconnect to stop syncing. Ferio revokes its access at Google and forgets the link. Events already written to your calendar stay there, so remove any you no longer want by hand. Reconnecting later starts from a clean slate and backfills again.
