How do I set up Google Calendar Sync?

Bloomerang Volunteer enables users to sync their volunteer shifts to their Google Calendars. Volunteers can set up syncing from both the My Shifts page, as well as at the end of the signup workflow for an opportunity if shift selection is being used. The process to set up the sync is the same in both places.

  1. Use the Add to Calendar dropdown and select Connect to Google Calendar.
    Add to Calendar dropdown on the My Shifts page.
  2. From the pop-up, click Connect Now. A Google authorization pop-up opens.
    Pop-up window with a Connect Now button.

  3. Select or enter the Google account that you want to sync your Bloomerang Volunteer shifts with and allow Bloomerang Volunteer to connect to it. This does not need to be the same email address that is used for your Bloomerang Volunteer account.
    Google account selection page.
  4. The Google pop-up will close automatically after you connect the accounts. The Bloomerang Volunteer pop-up will now show that the connection is complete and you can perform manual sync if you wish. The sync happens automatically, but you can force the sync at any time. This pop-up is also where you will go to disconnect the sync for any reason.
