How it works
The GoSearch Google Calendar workspace connector allows your team to search across your company’s Google Calendar resources directly within GoSearch, surfacing relevant content, documents, or conversations to improve visibility and efficiency.
Data objects supported
What appears in search results:

What is available with GoAI:
- Calendar events within a time frame
You can view our Integrations page for more details on available data, features, and benefits of the Google Calendar connector.
API usage
- Google Calendar API: Retrieve calendar events from the logged in user
Rate limits, pagination, and token refresh are handled automatically.
Sync & freshness model
- Initial Sync: Runs once when the connector is added.
- Incremental Updates: Every 5 minutes by default.
- Real-Time Fetch: On‑demand Google Calendar API calls for the latest data.
Setting up the connector
Note: As an admin, you should connect your Google Calendar workspace connector. Once done, members will be unable to connect the Google Calendar personal connector, as both connectors access the same data in the same manner. This won’t impact the ability to retrieve calendar information.
- From your GoSearch dashboard, navigate to Manage connectors in the left-hand menu.
- Click the tab that says Workspace connectors, click Add connector, and find the Google Calendar workspace connector.
- Click Connect, review the necessary permissions, and click Connect to Google Calendar.
- Follow the instructions on how to connect your Google calendar service account API.
- Optionally, name your connection.
- Remember, you can create multiple connections for the same application to be used with different User Groups if desired, so be descriptive when naming your connection.
- Then select whether to include all historical data or start from a specific date.
- Click Next: Select groups and select the user groups that you want to have access to that Connection and click Done
- Lastly, once synced, run a test query in GoSearch to ensure that the data in the Google Calendar workspace connector is available for you and your team members.
Access permissions
GoSearch connectors follow the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP), ensuring that only data all users have access to in the source application is pulled in via workspace connectors.
Private or restricted data is inaccessible through the Google Calendar workspace connector. Workspace connectors can be further limited by assigning access to specific User Groups, so only the right teams see the appropriate resources within GoSearch.
