Adding a Google Calendar

We provide a way for you to sync your Google Calendar with your current ChurchTrac Calendar. This will display a Read-Only view of your Google Calendar events on ChurchTrac. In order for your Google Calendar to display on ChurchTrac, you will need to make it public from your online Google settings.

Log into your Google calendar account click on the Options for the calendar that you would like to Edit. From there you would select Settings and Sharing.

Once you are on the Settings section, scroll down to Access Permissions and click the checkbox to make it public.

Before you can go back to set up your public calendar in ChurchTrac, you will need to locate your Google Calendar's ID. Scroll down further on the Settings section to Integrate Calendar as shown in the picture below, and locate your Calendar ID.

Creating a Google Calendar in ChurchTrac

Now that your Google Calendar is public, you will want to create a calendar within ChurchTrac, linking the two together. It is as simple as creating a new calendar in the Edit Calendars window, but only this time, you will choose Google Calendar instead of Database Calendar.
