## Google Calendar integration FAQ

### What syncs from Vacation Tracker to Google Calendar?

Approved leave, with the person's name, leave type and duration, plus public holidays for their location. Edits and cancellations update the Google Calendar event too.

### Do pending leave requests show up in Google Calendar?

No. Only approved leave syncs, so your calendar only shows time off that is confirmed.

### Can I share a team leave calendar in Google Calendar?

Yes. Administrators can sync a department, a location or the whole company to a shared Google Calendar.

### Which plans include the Google Calendar integration?

Connecting your own Google Calendar works on both the Core and Complete plans. A shared team calendar in Google Calendar is on the Complete plan; on Core, a shared calendar works with an iCal link.

### Can I try the Google Calendar integration during the free trial?

Yes. Your 14-day free trial includes every integration, so you can set up Google Calendar before you choose a plan.
