Google Calendar
To learn more about how Steady’s Google Calendar integration works, see our Google Calendar integration overview.
Set up: Personal connection
To connect your Google Calendar:
- Visit your Personal settings - Connections section and click on the Connect Google Calendar option.
- You’ll be prompted to pick your Google account and authorize Steady to read your calendars and calendar events.
- Select which calendars you’d like to monitor from the dropdown menu. The sync is not retroactive, so the first events will be visible in your next check-in. (If it’s after your check-in time for the day, that will be your draft check-in.)
Set up: Workspace-level connection for company holidays
If your organization uses a shared Google Calendar to manage company holidays, you can connect it to Steady through Workspace settings -> Integrations.
Once connected, Steady will automatically sync holidays from the shared calendar. On these days, team members will not receive prompts for check-ins or goal updates.
How the sync decides what’s a holiday
Steady marks a holiday for every all-day event on the connected calendar, regardless of the event’s name or free/busy status. Multi-day all-day events mark every day they cover. The sync runs nightly and looks one month ahead, so new all-day events — and later days of long events — appear as they enter that window.
Because of this, only connect a calendar that contains company holidays and nothing else. A calendar that also holds travel, out-of-office, or birthday events marks those days as holidays too.
To remove a synced holiday, delete or shorten the event on the connected calendar. You can also unmark individual days in Account - Holidays — an unmarked day stays unmarked, but other days from the same event still sync.
