Integrating different tools not only enhances productivity but also ensures smooth and seamless workflows. This article will guide you through the process of integrating Google Calendar with your Bitrix24 account, making your scheduling and meeting processes a breeze.

Step 1: Access Google Workspace

Start by accessing your Google Workspace. Here, you’ll navigate to the Google Cloud console (console.cloud.google.com). This is where you’ll create and manage your project.

Step 2: Setting Up the New Project

Once in the Google Cloud console, create a new project. The project name can be something relevant to your objective, such as “Bitrix24 Calendar Integration”. After creating the project, select it and proceed to enable APIs and Services.

The next step involves configuring the consent screen and providing relevant app information. Fill in the necessary details like app name, your email, etc. This information will be used to identify your application and your association with it.

Now, proceed to enable the Google Calendar API. This can be found in the Google API library. Once you’ve enabled the API, make sure to save and update your configuration.

Step 5: Adding Test Users

A handy feature of Google’s console is the ability to add test users. While your app won’t be publicly available, you can add your email as a test user for the time being.

Step 6: Creating OAuth Client ID

This step involves creating an OAuth Client ID for your application. Select the web application option and leave the other settings as is.

Step 7: Adjusting Module Settings in Bitrix24

Now switch over to your Bitrix24 portal. Here, navigate to the admin panel, access the module settings, and find the Google services. You’ll need to copy the redirect URLs from Google to Bitrix24.

Once all the configurations are set, start the synchronization process. Select ‘Connect Google’ and choose your account. Make sure to select the correct email address for the integration.
