Using Skylight Calendar with Google Calendar

Skylight Calendar One-Way Sync with Google Calendar

  • Updated

 

Skylight Calendar can sync with Google Calendar to sync events created on your Google calendar to Skylight.

One-way sync is useful for syncing to a calendar where you only want to see events, and do not wish to edit the events with Skylight. 

To make changes to your Google Calendar from your Skylight devices, use Skylight Calendar Two-Way Sync with Google Calendar.

Using One-Way Sync for Google Calendar

With one-way sync, changes made to the remote calendar will automatically appear on your Skylight calendar. 

It may take a few minutes for the synced events to appear on your Skylight calendar.

If you have explicitly set up customized colors for your calendars in Google Calendar, those customized calendar colors will be imported into Skylight. The calendar events will be automatically added to a Profile named after the imported color in hex notation (for example, #ab58e4).

You can leave the imported calendar events in the imported profile, or you can merge the events with an existing profile.
