Google Calendar widget

Display a shared Google Calendar on a homepage by adding its Calendar ID to the Google Calendar widget.

The Google Calendar widget lets users access shared calendars directly within a homepage.

Before you start

You need:

  • A Power User account in Interact with permission to add widgets to a homepage.
  • A configured Google Marketplace integration.
  • Access to Google Calendar in a browser. You can only get the Calendar ID from a computer, not the Google Calendar app.
