The calendar connection uses the times of your calendar bookings in the day proposal. Open My settings from the user menu and select Calendar connection.
Connect your calendar
Press Connect Outlook calendar or Connect Google calendar and approve the connection in your calendar service. After that the page reads Connected and Latest sync.
The calendar syncs automatically. Sync now fetches the latest time spans immediately. Remove connection disconnects: “Remove the calendar connection? The synced time spans will be deleted.”
What Kelomo fetches from the calendar
By default, Kelomo uses only the times of the bookings. Titles, descriptions and participants are not fetched. The proposal only needs to know when you were busy.
Some bookings are skipped entirely:
- bookings marked as private
- bookings marked as free
- cancelled bookings
- all-day events
The proposal is calculated from the synced time spans. Syncing does not change your entries: it does not create, edit or confirm your day.
You can remove the connection at any time. This removes the calendar access and the synced time spans.
The breakdown tells you where the proposal came from: “Proposal generated from the working time model and the timing of {n} calendar bookings”.
The exception: titles for a project proposal
If your employer allows titles to be used, you can enable Read calendar titles for projects on the Day proposal & auto-confirm page. The setting is off by default.
When the setting is enabled, Kelomo reads the title to suggest a project. The title is not stored; only the suggested project is saved. See Automation and auto-confirmation.
Export the calendar
Under Calendar feed out (ICS), you can add your shifts, absences and task due dates to your own calendar. The subscription link works without signing in, so treat it like a password. You can replace the link or disable the feed at any time.
Working-time data belongs to your employer. Your supervisor and administrator can view and manage your entries according to their access rights. The calendar connection only limits what is imported from your own calendar into Kelomo.
If something goes wrong
You cannot find the Calendar connection tab. The tab appears only once your employer has turned the calendar connection on. If it is not there, the feature is not in use in your organisation. Ask your administrator to enable it.
The proposal does not match your calendar. First check whether the bookings are the kind that are skipped on purpose: private, marked as free, cancelled or an all-day event. If the booking is fresh, press Sync now. The proposal row in the breakdown tells you how many calendar bookings were included in the proposal.
You do not want to use the calendar in the proposal. Switch Use the calendar in the proposal off on the Day proposal & auto-confirm page. If you do not want to keep the connection at all, press Remove connection.
