Troubleshooting

Q: I connected Google Calendar but events aren't showing. Why? A: Check:

• Correct calendar selected in settings
• Calendar sharing permissions
• Sync hasn't failed (check status)
• Wait up to 5 minutes for initial sync

Q: Can I sync multiple Google accounts? A: Currently one account per integration. Use your primary teaching calendar.

Q: Will students see my personal Google Calendar events? A: No! Only you see your full calendar. Students only see your availability blocks on Tutorwise.

Q: How do I change which Google Calendar syncs to? A: Go to Integrations → Google Calendar → Settings → Select different calendar → Save.

Q: What happens to synced events if I disconnect? A: They remain in Google Calendar as past events. Future syncing stops. You can manually delete them.
