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
Open Claude (
claude.aiin your browser, or the Claude desktop app) and sign in to your Claude account like normal.Click your initials in the corner, then choose Settings, then Connectors.
Find Google Calendar in the list and click Connect.
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.
That's it for setup. The connection now works in any chat, including your clone project.
Point your clone at it
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.
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.

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
- Claude shows the wrong calendar You connected the wrong Google account. Go back to Settings → Connectors, disconnect Google Calendar, and reconnect with the old email account.
- Your team meetings are missing Check calendar.google.com while signed in to the old email account and confirm those events actually live there. Claude can only see what that account can see.
- You don't see Google Calendar in Connectors The connector is listed for Claude's paid plans. If your account is on the free plan, tell EJ and we will sort out the right path Wednesday.
- Want to undo it Settings → Connectors → Disconnect. You are in control of the connection the whole time, and Claude only looks at the calendar when you ask it something that needs it.
