Overview

This article explains how to sync your school's Google calendar with your website so that events on your website calendar are automatically updated.

Prerequisites

• This functionality will need to be enabled on your website. Contact us if it is not enabled and you want to use this functionality. If you subscribe to Classic+, Calendar Sync functionality is included in your subscription. 
• Your school's Google calendar must be set to public.
• You will need the login details for the Google account where the Google calendar is hosted to link it to your website.
• You must have a calendar page set up on your website (see Juniper Websites: Creating a Calendar View).
