How to set a Default Calendar

Your default Calendar is the calendar CalendarHero will use to book your meetings.

  • Only one single calendar at a time (the one set as "Default Calendar") will be used for scheduling your meetings (e.g. your booked meetings will appear in this calendar). Other (non-default) connected calendars will be used to check your availability only! Learn how to add a new calendar

  • When setting your default calendar ensure you select a calendar that you have both read AND write permissions for - or scheduling will fail. 

    • Does your Calendar say "READ-ONLY"? If so this will not work as a default calendar and can only be used for availability.

    • Wondering how to update calendars to ensure write permissions? You may need to contact your organization's calendar Google Cloud or Microsoft administrator for assistance - as these permissions live outside of CalendarHero.

  • You can set your default calendar (the one used to book the meetings) from your Installed Integrations list. From the "..." dropdown click "Set as Default" from the drop-down menu. A badge will be added to indicate that it is your default calendar. You can also set your default from your Meeting Scheduling General Settings page.

  • Google Users: When CalendarHero syncs with Google Calendar we will automatically set your primary Google calendar as the CalendarHero default calendar. 

    • Not sure what your primary calendar in Google is? This is referenced when you click "Calendars" from your CalendarHero
      Integrations list

    • Unfortunately, Google does not allow you to change your primary calendar within Google (this is a limitation of Google and NOT CalendarHero). However, you can change your default CalendarHero calendar as mentioned above.
