Pipedrive Calendar Sync Not Working
Quick answer
Calendar sync mostly fails because of wrong sync type, past-dated activities, visibility settings or a stale connection. Stopping and restarting the sync resolves most cases.
Most likely fix: Check sync settings
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Check sync settings
- Go to Personal preferences > Calendar sync
- Click Edit next to the account
- Confirm the calendar and sync type (two-way to import external events)

- On the same page, review Event visibility
- Change Visible only to you to Visible to all users
- Only events synced after the change are affected
Did this fix it?3. Clear browser data and test incognito
- Clear cache and cookies and reload
- Open Pipedrive in incognito; disable extensions one by one if it works there
Did this fix it?4. Restart the sync
- Personal preferences > Calendar sync > Edit > Stop sync
- Under Synced previously click Start sync and confirm settings
- Create a future-dated activity to test
