After you sign in to Revisual...
| Step 1: In your Dashboard, click on Integrate with the platform of your choice. Revisual will take you to the Google Calendar (GCal) Integration setup page.

The Google Calendar (GCal) Integration setup page will open.
Step 2: Click on the relevant Scopes [Calendar API, Events Attachments (optional)]. Public profile is already checked as it is required. For more about Scopes, jump to this article.

*** A NOTE ABOUT GIVING GOOGLE DRIVE ACCESS ***
It would be natural to be nervous about giving an app access to ALL your Google Drive files. This is why Google verifies every app that uses Google Drive and Calendar services.
Here is Google documentation about the conditions the app must meet: https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy#additional-requirements-for-specific-api-scopes
Submitting the app we must describe the usage of the restricted services and then after app submission, there is a manual verification by Google employee.
Having said that, should you still feel unsure, you do not have to give access. The only limitation is that Revisual will not be able to pull in your event images.
 | Step 5: Your successful integration will be confirmed.
Click on the blue button GO TO INTEGRATIONS PAGE. |
 | Step 6: You will also get a confirmation email. Make sure to check all your folders -- sometimes important things end up in Spam! |
Step 7: The screen will refresh to the Integrations page.
After the first sync is complete, you will see something like this:
PURPLE NUMBERS IN IMAGE ABOVE
1: The GCal integration is now active.
2: Who has created this integration.
3: Last sync date and time.
4: Confirmation that Revisual is syncing with GCal automatically.
5: A reminder that this is in beta.
6: More actions: Click on the 3 dots to open the dropdown menu (image below).
Congratulations! Now you are ready to begin adding calendars and event alerts and customizing them with your branding.
