Connect your calendar

SalesGhost works fine without a calendar — but connecting one turns it from a tool you remember to start into one that shows up ready. Google and Microsoft calendars are both supported.

Connect it

1. Open Settings → Calendar in the desktop app
2. Choose Google or Microsoft
3. Your browser opens the provider's standard sign-in and consent screen
4. Approve access, and you're bounced back to the app — connected

Use the account whose calendar actually holds your meetings. If your work runs on a shared or delegated calendar, connect the account that owns the events you join.

What you get

Today's meetings on the home screen. Your day's calls are listed right in the app, so starting a session for the right meeting is one click, not a context switch.

Meeting detection. When a call starts, SalesGhost prompts you to start a session — the difference between "assisted on every call" and "assisted on the calls I remembered." You can always dismiss the prompt for calls you'd rather keep off the record.

Transcripts matched to events. After a call, the transcript is automatically attached to the calendar event it belongs to. Your home feed reads like your actual week — "Demo with Acme, Tuesday 2pm" — instead of a list of anonymous recordings.

Pre-read prep notes. With a calendar connected, SalesGhost generates prep notes for upcoming meetings ahead of time. A two-minute skim before you join beats scrambling through old emails.

Tip: calendar plus knowledge base is the combination that makes SalesGhost feel effortless. The calendar tells it when and who; the knowledge base tells it what to say.

What access means

Connecting a calendar lets SalesGhost read your events to power the features above. It doesn't send invites, modify events, or email anyone on your behalf. As with everything in SalesGhost, this data is processed for the product only — it's not used to train third-party foundation models.

Disconnecting

To disconnect, go back to Settings → Calendar and remove the connection. Meeting detection prompts and pre-reads stop immediately, and the home screen goes back to showing your transcript feed without the day's schedule. Transcripts you've already recorded keep their meeting titles — disconnecting doesn't rewrite history.

You can reconnect at any time, or switch providers (say, after a company move from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365) by disconnecting one and connecting the other.

If the connection fails

The OAuth flow happens in your browser, so most failures are browser-side: a pop-up blocker, a corporate SSO interstitial, or being signed into the wrong account. Try again in a fresh browser window, signed into the correct work account first. If your organization's IT admin restricts third-party app access to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, they may need to approve SalesGhost before the consent screen will let you through — pointing them at our IT notes usually answers their first questions.
