  4. Click Continue.

  5. If Google shows a warning that the app isn't verified, click on Advanced at the lower-right corner and then * *continue**.

  6. After you're redirected back to the plugin page, you'll see that your Google Account is added. By expanding the row relative to that account, you'll see the list of all the Google Calendars in that account.

Google Account associations with Service Providers​

When the Service Providers feature is active, you have the option to link a Google Account to a specific provider. You can even set up the plugin to let service providers connect their own Google Accounts.

Once a Google Account is associated with a provider, that provider can utilize the Google Calendar 3-way integration. Additionally, calendars from that account can only influence availability plans linked to that specific provider.

Conversely, if a Google Account isn't linked to any provider, only administrators can leverage the 3-way integration with that account. Calendars from such accounts can influence any availability plan, irrespective of the associated provider.
