🔒 This feature requires the paid Operations Add-on.
PaintScout connects to Google Calendar so your schedule stays in sync across both tools.
You can sync your own calendar in one or both directions. You can also import shared calendars into PaintScout as read-only events.
How sync works
PaintScout → Google Calendar
Events created in PaintScout appear in Google Calendar with full details.
Google Calendar → PaintScout
Google events appear in PaintScout. You control how much detail PaintScout shows.
Shared Google calendars → PaintScout
Shared calendar events import into PaintScout only. They stay read-only.
How to connect Google Calendar
1. Go to Your Profile > Integrations
2. Toggle on Google Calendar
3. Select the Google account you want to connect.
4. Click Continue.
5. Select the calendars you want to connect under My Calendars or Shared Calendars.
Customizing your Calendar
My Calendars
You can choose how your personal Google calendars sync with PaintScout.
Select one sync option:
Two-way sync: events from your Google Calendar will appear on PaintScout, and vice versa.
One-way sync from PaintScout to Google: events from PaintScout will appear in your Google Calendar, but your Google events will not show on your PaintScout calendar.
One-way sync from Google to PaintScout: events from your Google Calendar will appear in PaintScout, but your PaintScout events will not show on your Google Calendar.
If you select Two-way sync or One-way sync from Google to PaintScout, you can also control event visibility inside PaintScout:
Hide event details: PaintScout shows the event as "Busy".
Show event details to only me: Only you can see the Google event details in PaintScout.
Show event details to everyone: Your team can see the Google event details in PaintScout.
Shared Calendars
Shared calendars can also be imported into PaintScout.
This sync is one-way only. Shared calendar events appear in PaintScout, but you cannot edit them.
