Syncing Google Calendar

Google Calendar sync should only need to be completed one time for each individual. Calendar sync enables Navigate to automatically look at your Google Calendar (associated with your FSMail account) to avoid double-booking with meetings that were not scheduled in Navigate and allows Navigate to automatically place any appointments scheduled in Navigate directly onto your Google Calendar.

Google (FSMail) Calendar Sync Instructions (One-Time Setup for Each User)

After logging into Navigate, follow these instructions to sync it with your professional Google Calendar (FSMail).

1. Click the Calendar icon in the red menu on the left side of the screen.

2. Click the Settings & Sync button under the Bradley University logo toward the right side of the screen.

3. Click Setup Sync...

4. Click Google Calendar.

5. Sign in with Google using your Bradley University email & password. You will see a prompt asking to give EAB access to read and write on your Google Calendar. You will need to enable this access in order for Navigate to find potential meeting conflicts on your Google Calendar to prevent double-booking (read) and to add meetings scheduled in Navigate to your Google Calendar (write).

6. Select Two-Way Sync or Free/Busy Sync. We strongly recommend using Two-Way Sync.

Two-Way Sync: All calendar items sync back and forth between your Navigate calendar and your professional calendar (i.e., Navigate calendar ↔ professional calendar). Events from your professional calendar will display as Busy in your Navigate calendar. Limited details from Navigate will display in your professional calendar.

Free/Busy Sync: Choose this option if you only want events from your professional calendar to display as Busy on your Navigate calendar (i.e., professional calendar ↔ Navigate calendar). Meetings scheduled in Navigate will not be added to your Google Calendar.
