Frequently Asked Questions about When I Work + Google Calendar integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with When I Work and Google Calendar

To integrate Google Calendar with When I Work, use our platform to set up a connection. Begin by selecting Google Calendar and When I Work as your apps, then choose a trigger action like 'New Event' in Google Calendar and an action, such as 'Create Shift' in When I Work.

Yes, you can set up separate integrations for each of your Google Calendars. Just make sure to select the correct calendar during the trigger setup so the corresponding events are synced with When I Work.

You can select triggers like 'New Event', 'Updated Event', or 'Deleted Event' from Google Calendar to initiate corresponding actions in When I Work such as creating or updating shifts.

Currently, the integration supports one-way sync from Google Calendar to When I Work. Updates made in your work schedules within When I Work won't automatically reflect in your Google Calendar.

The integration typically checks for new data every 15 minutes, but you can adjust this frequency based on how timely you need updates processed.

Our system doesn’t process conflicts automatically, so you'll need to manually adjust any overlapping events or shifts within either platform after they're synced.

At this time, automated creation of calendar events from shift updates or creations within When I Work isn't supported. Your main integration flow is focused from calendar to shift management.
