Desklog Google Calendar Integration for Better Work Schedule Visibility
Bring company holidays, approved leave, and task deadlines from Desklog into Google Calendar. Your team sees what matters in the calendar they already check every day, with privacy controls that keep sensitive details out.
Why Integrate Desklog with Google Calendar?
Important dates are often spread across tools. Holidays live in one place, leave approvals in another, and task deadlines in a project board that people may not open until it is too late.
Integrating Desklog with Google Calendar puts these dates in one familiar view. Employees see their schedule at a glance, and you decide exactly what is shared.

How Desklog Enhances Google Calendar
Google Calendar shows your day. Desklog adds the work context that belongs in it.
- Work dates in one place
Holidays, approved leave, and task due dates appear alongside personal and team events.
- A direct link back
Every task event links to the task in Desklog, so employees can open the full details in one click.
- Admin-defined rules
You set what can sync, and each employee chooses from those options.
Key Features of Desklog Google Calendar Integration
Company Holiday Synchronisation
Company holidays sync as all-day events and are marked busy, so nobody can book a meeting on them by mistake.
Approved Leave Synchronisation
Each person’s approved time off appears in their own calendar only, keeping leave information personal.
Task Deadline Synchronisation
Tasks due in the next 30 days appear in the assignee’s calendar, so upcoming deadlines are always in view.
Customisable Task Titles
If your task names identify clients, turn off task titles. Events then show a neutral label such as “Task due: CRM-412” and still link back to Desklog.
Dedicated Desklog Calendar
Events can go to a separate calendar named "Desklog", which keeps work dates organised and gives Desklog the least access to an employee’s Google account.
Employee Calendar Access Settings
Choose whether employees may use their main Google Calendar. When enabled, Google asks each employee for access when they connect, so they can switch calendars later without reconnecting.
How Desklog Google Calendar Integration Works
- 01
Choose Which Events to Sync
Under the integration settings, select the categories employees may sync: company holidays, approved leave, and task deadlines. Each employee then chooses from the options you allow.
- 02
Connect Your Google Calendar Account
Employees connect their Google account and authorise Desklog through Google’s standard permission screen.
- 03
Configure Calendar and Privacy Settings
Decide whether task titles are included and whether employees can use their main calendar or only the dedicated “Desklog” calendar.
- 04
Keep Events Updated Through Synchronisation
Desklog keeps events current at each sync. If you switch off a category, those events are removed from everyone’s calendar at the next sync.
Google Calendar Integration and Privacy Controls
- Control Which Events Are Shared
Choose which categories employees may sync. Switching one off removes those events from everyone’s calendar at the next sync.
- Protect Sensitive Task Information
Desklog never sends a task’s description, client, comments, or attachments to Google. Only a title and a link back to Desklog are shared. If titles themselves are sensitive, turn them off and events will show only the task ID.
- Choose Calendar Access Preferences
Allow employees to use their main calendar, or limit events to the dedicated “Desklog” calendar for the lowest level of access to their Google account.
