See your Google Calendar in Yardmaster
Connect Google Calendar to see your day, add and change events, get meeting reminders and ask an AI about your schedule.
Calendar shows your Google Calendar inside Yardmaster: what is on today and tomorrow, a full calendar you can edit, and a reminder before each meeting. It uses the same Google sign-in as Gmail.
Connect Calendar#
Open Settings > Google Workspace.
If the Google Account card says you are not connected, click Connect and sign in to Google in your browser.
Under Calendar, turn on Calendar Integration.
Optionally, under Calendars to show, untick calendars you do not want to see.
Click Calendar in the projects column.
The Google sign-in lets Yardmaster see and change everything in your Google Calendar. Events travel straight between this computer and Google.
See and change your events#
The calendar opens on Agenda, a list of what is coming up. Switch to Week or Month at the top. While Calendar is open, the sidebar lists Today and Tomorrow.
Add an event with New Event: a title, start and end (or All day), Location, Description, Guests, Repeat, Reminders, which calendar, a color, and Add Google Meet video conferencing.
Open an event to see its details, Join Meet, Open in Google Calendar, Edit or Delete.
Move an event in Week by dragging it, or drag its bottom edge to change how long it lasts.
Changes are saved to your real Google Calendar straight away.
Get reminders before meetings#
Once Calendar is on, Yardmaster checks it every minute and reminds you 15 minutes before each event, as an alert in your Inbox. It also tells you when an event is added or changed (it looks for changes every 5 minutes). Change all of this in Settings > Notifications: the reminder time, whether it comes as an Inbox alert, a pop-up or both, or turn Google Calendar reminders off.
Ask the Calendar AI#
The Ask about your calendar... box at the bottom of the calendar answers questions like "What does my Thursday look like?" and can make changes, such as "Move my 3pm to 4pm". Each change shows a small label on the answer, like Created, Updated or Deleted.
Turn Calendar off#
Turn off Calendar Integration to hide Calendar and stop the reminders. To remove Yardmaster's access to your Google account completely, click Disconnect on the Google Account card (this disconnects Gmail, Drive, Sheets and Docs too).
Daily digest. The daily digest can include your calendar events; see Calendar Events in its settings.
Quick Launch. You can add an event by typing a phrase like "lunch tomorrow at noon" in Quick Launch.
If Google access stops working, events stop loading and the calendar shows an error. Click Connect on the Google Account card to sign in again.
