Integrations
Connect Theo to other services you use. Integrations make Theo more powerful by connecting to your calendar, and more.
Accessing Integrations
- Go to Settings in the left menu
- Click Integrations
Google Calendar
Connect your Google Calendar so Theo can:
- See when you're busy
- Book appointments into your calendar
- Generate Google Meet links for virtual meetings
- Send calendar invites to customers
Connecting Google Calendar
- Go to Settings → Integrations
- Find Google Calendar
- Click Connect
- Sign in to your Google account
- Allow Theo to access your calendar
- You're connected!
What Happens After Connecting
Once connected:
- Theo checks your calendar before offering appointment times
- New appointments appear on your Google Calendar automatically
- Customers receive calendar invites with all the details
- Virtual meetings get Google Meet links
Which Calendar is Used?
Theo connects to your primary Google Calendar. If you use multiple calendars:
- Availability is checked across your calendars
- New appointments are added to your primary calendar
Disconnecting Google Calendar
If you need to disconnect:
- Go to Settings → Integrations
- Find Google Calendar
- Click Disconnect
- Confirm
Note: Existing appointments won't be deleted, but Theo will no longer sync with your calendar.

Common Questions
Do I need to reconnect periodically?
Usually not. Connections should remain active indefinitely. If you see issues, try disconnecting and reconnecting.
Can I connect multiple Google accounts?
Currently, you can connect one Google account. Use your primary business calendar.
Is my calendar data secure?
Yes. We only access what's needed for scheduling:
- Busy/free times
- Ability to create events
We don't read your event details or share your calendar with anyone.
What if I don't use Google Calendar?
The integration is optional. Without it, Theo uses your availability plans instead of live calendar data.
Can team members connect their calendars?
Currently, calendar integration is at the account level. Team calendar features may be available in future updates.
