Introduction
In this guide we will show you how to setup Google Calendar sync step by step. We apologize for the number of steps involved however this is something out of our control as Google has strict security measures and so these are the same hoops everyone must jump through in order to setup Google Calendar. It will however only take about 5 or 10 minutes to complete and once it’s done however, re-syncing with your calendar is as simple as clicking a button.

Hopefully that wasn’t too complicated. Now you can sync your events from 2 places. One is directly from the EMP Calendar on the dashboard or at the calendar menu options itself. The other is individually at an event.
The Google Calendar icon will automatically show when it becomes out of date from the Google Calendar version. Once any tentative/booked or done event has been modified, the icon will show.
Please Enjoy!
