Connecting Your Google Calendar to Claude

The one thing to get right first. Claude connects to a Google account, not to a single calendar. It can only see the calendars that live inside the account you connect.

Your master calendar is your RIMAN calendar, which lives under your old email address. The account you sign in with during this setup must be that old email account. If you connect your Glow Redefined account instead, Claude will see the booking calendar and not your team meetings.

Setup — about 3 minutes

  1. Open Claude (claude.ai in your browser, or the Claude desktop app) and sign in to your Claude account like normal.

  2. Click your initials in the corner, then choose Settings, then Connectors.

  3. Find Google Calendar in the list and click Connect.

  4. A Google sign-in window opens. Sign in with your old email account — the one that owns the RIMAN calendar. Review the permissions screen and click Allow.

  5. That's it for setup. The connection now works in any chat, including your clone project.

Point your clone at it

  1. Open your clone project and start a chat. In the message box, click the sliders icon (the search and tools menu) and make sure Google Calendar is toggled on.

  2. Test it with something simple: "What is on my calendar next week?" You should see your Monday noon team leader meeting and your Tuesday 6–7 team meeting come back. If you see them, the right account is connected.

  3. Now run the schedule prompt. Because Claude can read the calendar directly, you no longer need to type out your fixed commitments. Use this:

    Look at my calendar for the next two weeks. I have committed 2 hours a day to business building: outreach, follow-ups, and coaching my team. Show me exactly where those 2 hours fit each day, and tell me what I should ask you to take off my plate.

If something doesn't look right

What this does not do. Claude will read your calendar and can create or adjust events when you ask it to. It does not watch your calendar in the background or act on its own. The 2 hours a day still belong to you. This just makes sure you can see them.
