• Click on the 'Interviews' tab on the settings page
• Click on 'Connect calendar' to integrate your calendar, allowing clients to see your real-time availability.

Set Up Your Booking Preferences

Choose which calendars you want to consider for your availability:

• For each connected account, you’ll see a list of all the calendars you can check for conflicts
• Toggle on the calendars you want to use to check for conflicts

Choose which calendar to add interviews to:

• Navigate to the section titled, ‘Create events on’ and click on the dropdown to select which calendar new interviews should be added to
• All interviews booked will be added to this calendar

Connect additional Calendar accounts:

• To add an additional calendar, navigate to the ‘Add’ button in the upper right
• You’ll be prompted to sign into your other Google, Apple or Outlook account that you want to connect

Remove a connected calendar:

• If you no longer want to connect a calendar, you can click on the trash can icon to the right of the account you want to remove

Working Hours and Timezone

After connecting your calendar, head back to the settings page where you can click ‘Adjust working hours’ to manage your working hours and timezone. It’s important to set up your availability for interviews to ensure companies only book times when you're available.

• On this page, you can choose which timezone you would like to use to show your availability
• Additionally, you can set your working hours, which only allows companies to book during these time slots, minus any conflicts you have in your connected calendars

Date Overrides

Going on vacation? Unavailable for certain times? Set a date override to ensure companies don’t book any interviews during that period. This can be adjusted on the working hours page by clicking on ‘Add an override’ and choosing the days and times you’re unavailable.

Learn how to sync your non-supported calendar

Want to sync your calendar but don’t use a Google, Apple or Microsoft Calendar? You’ll need to set up an account with one of our supported providers and then sync your non-supported calendar to that account. The easiest way to do that is:

1. Open a Google account by visiting: https://accounts.google.com/signup
2. Head to your non-supported calendar account to generate a shareable calendar subscription URL
3. Once your Google account is set up, open Google Calendar: https://calendar.google.com/
4. On the left, next to "Other calendars," click Add From URL.
5. Enter the calendar’s URL
6. Click Add calendar. The calendar appears on the left, under "Other calendars."
7. Once your calendar is linked, head back to A.Team settings page and click ‘Connect calendar’ where you can connect your new Google calendar which will reflect your availability

Connect multiple supported calendars

Want to sync multiple Google, Apple or Outlook calendars? It’s easy, all you have to do is:

1. Set up your first calendar, it doesn’t matter which one, by clicking on ‘Connect calendar’ on the A.Team settings page
2. After you’ve connected any of your calendars, click on “+ Add” in the upper right hand corner, where you can connect as many calendar accounts as needed.

Connect multiple unsupported calendars

To connect multiple unsupported calendars, follow the steps above in, “Learn how to sync your non-supported calendar” and repeat for as many unsupported calendars as you would like to connect. You can also connect multiple supported and unsupported calendars.

A.Team does not store your calendar data and has been audited by an independent third party to verify compliance with SOC2, the highest industry security standard.
