The process behind how DocketCalendar sends events to Google and Outlook involves several key steps:
- Automatic Event Creation: DocketCalendar is equipped to automatically calculate deadlines based on court rules and create corresponding events. These events are designed to be instantly populated onto either your Outlook or Google Calendar. For added flexibility, DocketCalendar also comes with an in-built calendar, so you can start calculating and managing deadlines even before you establish a connection with your Outlook or Google Calendar.
- Connecting to Outlook or Google Calendar: The integration process with either Outlook or Google Calendar involves accessing a calendar connection interface within DocketCalendar. This is done by selecting "Connect a Calendar" in the manage section of DocketCalendar's sidebar. From there, you link your Outlook or Google email account by entering your email details and following the on-screen instructions to complete the account selection process.
- Admin Permissions and Calendar Sharing: For DocketCalendar to post events to an Outlook or Google Calendar that belongs to another user, the calendar must be shared with the linked email account. This step typically requires admin credentials and the acceptance of necessary permissions. Once these permissions are granted, DocketCalendar is fully authorized and ready for use. Although users usually receive an email notification when DocketCalendar is approved through the Admin Consent Request Screen, there might not be an automatic notification to indicate the completion of the approval process. Hence, you might need to inform your users manually that they can now log in and start using DocketCalendar with their Outlook or Google Calendars.
This integration allows for efficient and automated synchronization of events and deadlines between DocketCalendar and the user's chosen calendar platform, whether it's Outlook or Google Calendar.
