SIA for Google Calendar

Without a calendar connected, scheduling an interview means trading emails until a time works for everyone. Connecting Google Calendar lets SIA book interviews outright. It checks your actual availability from your calendar, picks a slot that works, and puts a Google Meet invite on both your calendar and the candidate's, all in one step.

• In Chat, open Connectors from the sidebar
• Find the Google Calendar card and click Connect Google Calendar
• A Google sign-in tab opens — sign in with the account whose calendar you want SIA to use
• Review the permissions Google shows you. This request is for calendar access only, it does not touch Gmail or Drive. Click Allow
• You're redirected back to Chat and the card now reads Connected

Once Google Calendar is connected, SIA can look at your real schedule and act on it:

• Show what's already on your calendar — for a given day or week, so you know what you're working around before proposing anything
• Suggest concrete free slots within your working hours — rather than a random time that may conflict with something else
• Book the interview with a Google Meet link, and email the invite to the candidate — all in one step, without you creating the event and separately emailing the details
• Cancel a booking and notify attendees — if a call needs to move or fall through, SIA can cancel it and let the candidate and anyone else invited know

What interviews do I have tomorrow?

SIA proposes times based on your real calendar, but checks with you before anything actually books. Nothing is placed on your calendar or sent to a candidate without your confirmation.
