How can I get my tasks to appear on Google Calendar?
Log into Joint Contact and select "my profile". Scroll down and you will see a new section entitled Google. From here enter your Google user name and password and click "save changes". Once complete click on the tasks link at the top of the window. Here you will see an option for "switch to calendar view".

Your new Google Calendar will be shown but will be blank. To sync your tasks to your new Google Calendar click on the Sync Calendar button. Once you've synchronized your tasks to your calendar, any changes made to your task list will automatically be reflected on your Google Calendar.


I've supplied my Google name and password.  However when I go to the calendar page it's blank.
You need to sync your tasks to your calendar. To do this just select "Sync Calendar".


Can my team members see my task changes on their calendars?
Yes. As long as they've added their Google credentials to their Joint Contact profile. Once provided this process happens automatically.


Can I add events directly to Google Calendar and have them appear as Tasks in Joint Contact?
No. However, any task that originates in Joint Contact will be shown on your calendar. As a general rule, no information should be added to the "JointContact-Tasks" calendar that does not originate from Joint Contact.


When I attempt to load my calendar I receive a Google parameter error stating "Invalid calendar id".
For some reason the Google calendar that was previously mapped to your account is no longer available.  To fix this issue just click on "Sync Calendar".


I am the only person in my group that has a Google Account. Will my group be able to use Joint Contact?
Yes. Google credentials are required just for Google Calendar integration. All other Joint Contact modules, including the actual process of creating and managing tasks happens independently.


Other people on my team use tools like Outlook and Apple's iCal. Does Joint Contact support these other applications?
Yes. In addition to Google Calendar, Joint Contact also supports these applications through technology called ICS. Click here to learn more Joint Contact and ICS calendar applications.


Can I view my Google Calendar entries using RSS?
Yes. Just click on the orange RSS icon when viewing your tasks.


Does Google Calendar support mobile devices?
Yes. Click here for a list of cool features supported by Google Calendar.


I went a little crazy and accidentally deleted my calendar from Google Calendar. 
Return to the calendar window in Joint Contact. From here just click on "Sync Calendar". This will provide you with a refreshed calendar.


When I view my calendar I get this message "Events from one or more calendars could not be shown here because you do not have the permission to view them".
You are seeing this error because you are not logged into your Google Account. Even though you are logged into Joint Contact you must also log into your Google Account to see your calendar (note: you will not see this message if you log into Google Calendar directly). If you've tried this and it still doesn't work just re-sync your calendar.


I am using Google Apps not just Google Calendar. Does Joint Contact also work with this service?
At this point Joint Contact does not support Google Apps. However, we are reviewing this and hope to provide a solution in the near future.
