Manage Google Calendar from Grok

Manage Google Calendar from Grok

Google Calendar is its own connector, separate from Gmail. Official connector docs: once connected, Grok can search events, read details, check free/busy, list calendars you can access, and — when write scopes are enabled — create, update, delete, and RSVP.

Connect Calendar

  1. Open grok.com/connectors.
  2. Click New Connector and choose Google Calendar.
  3. Sign in with Google and approve the permissions shown.
  4. In chat, ask for a date range, a keyword, free/busy, or an event change.

Gmail is a second OAuth path: Connect Gmail so Grok can search your mail.

What the base connection can do

Base Calendar access is read-oriented. Docs list:

  • Search events by date range and keyword
  • View attendees, location, and description
  • Free/busy availability lookups
  • List calendars the account can access

When write tools appear

Write capabilities need the matching scopes. Docs map:

Scope Purpose
calendar.readonly Search and read events (base)
calendar.events Create, update, delete events
calendar.freebusy Free/busy checks
calendar.calendarlist.readonly List accessible calendars
userinfo.email Identify the Google account

On Grok Business / Enterprise, a team admin may need to provision the connector in console.x.ai before teammates can connect it.

Privacy and disconnect

Connector docs state xAI does not train on your Calendar data, and that Grok reads Calendar at ask time without storing the events afterward.

  1. Open grok.com/connectors.
  2. Find Google Calendar and click Disconnect.
  3. Or revoke the app at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Pitfalls

  • Connecting Gmail does not connect Calendar — add Calendar separately.
  • If create/edit/RSVP tools never appear, check whether write scopes were granted and whether a team admin must enable them.
  • Disconnect on grok.com/connectors immediately revokes Grok’s access for that connector.
