Installing Google Calendar on Rootly

We recommend you perform the installation with a service account to ensure the integration doesn’t break, should the installing user leave the company.

Ensure that you are logged in as an Admin user in Rootly.

Locate Google Calendar on the Integrations catalog and click on Setup.

You’ll be prompted to choose a connection method to your Google Meet:

  • Connect through OAuth credentials
  • Connect through JSON file credentials

​
Integrating via OAuth

This integration method is used for non-GCP service accounts. This is the simplest and the recommended approach to integrating with Google Meet.

  1. You can first create a Google account with a generic email (e.g. acme_rootly@company.com).
  2. Then log into that Google account on your browser.
  3. Add acme_rootly@company.com as a member in your Rootly organization.
  4. Follow the instructions below to integrate as acme_rootly@company.com.

Click on Setup to start the integration process. You’ll be prompted to select a Google account.

After selecting a Google account, you’ll be prompted to grant Rootly permission to integrate with your Google account.

Select Allow and you’ll be redirected back to Rootly and the installation is considered complete!
