Calendly Calendar Not Syncing

Quick answer

When Calendly misses events or doesn't write bookings back, the usual causes are the wrong calendars selected for conflict checking, events marked Free, or a connection that lost permissions. Reconnecting with all permissions approved fixes most cases.

Most likely fix: Check which calendars are checked for conflicts

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Check which calendars are checked for conflicts

    1. In Calendly open Integrations > Calendar connections
    2. Open the connected account and make sure every calendar that should block time (including sub-calendars) is selected
    3. Confirm the 'add to calendar' calendar is the one you actually use
    Did this fix it?
  2. 2. Mark events as Busy

    1. Calendly treats Busy events as conflicts and ignores events marked Free
    2. Open the event in Google Calendar or Outlook and set its status to Busy
    3. iCloud events must also be Busy to block slots
    Did this fix it?
  3. 3. Disconnect and reconnect the calendar

    1. Remove the connection on the calendar connections page
    2. Reconnect and approve every permission requested (read and write events)
    3. For Outlook in a company tenant, ask your admin to renew consent
    4. Book a test event to confirm it is written to your calendar
    Did this fix it?
  4. 4. Contact support with details

    1. Some users report round-robin sync bugs that Calendly acknowledged without an ETA
    2. Send the event type, the calendars involved and booking times to support
    Did this fix it?

Symptoms

Why it happens

  • The calendar isn't ticked under 'check for conflicts'
  • Events are marked Free instead of Busy
  • The 'add to calendar' calendar is different from the one you expect
  • Connection lost permissions or was disconnected
  • Organisation admin consent needed for Outlook
