How to set up the Google Traveller calendar?

Would you like to have all your trips automatically synchronised with your Google calendar?

With the Google Traveller calendar, you can now synchronize every trip you have booked on Travelperk to your personal Google calendar, simply by connecting to your Google account.

Enable your Google Traveller calendar

1. Click your avatar on the right corner of the main navigation to access your Profile settings
2. Scroll down to the Calendar sync panel where you see a button to connect your calendar.
3. Click on the Add trips to calendar button, this will take you to the calendar sync page where you will find an option to connect your Google calendar.
4. After clicking on the Connect calendar button and you will be redirected to the Sign In with Google dialogue
   
5. Sign In with your Google account and grant access to the Travelperk Integration to "Make secondary Google calendars, and see, create, change and delete events on them". This means the integration will only have permission to access the data we create in a separate calendar and not any other data you might have.
6. If you are attempting to connect to a non-corporate Google account you will see a slightly different permissions page where you will have to manually select the checkbox shown below, in order to grant the necessary access. As before, this means the integration will only have permission to access the data we create in a separate calendar and not any other data you might have.
   
7. Click Continue or Allow as seen in the above dialogues, to provide access
8. Your new connection will now show as follows in the Synced calendars panel 
9. In your Google Calendar, you will have a new calendar called "TravelPerk Trips"

That's it! From this point, all your trips on TravelPerk will now automatically show up in this separate calendar on your personal Google calendar. 

Disable your Google Traveller calendar

If you would like to disconnect your Google calendar at any point follow these steps

1. Click your avatar on the right corner of the main navigation to access your Profile settings
2. Scroll down to the Calendar sync panel
3. Click on the Disconnect button on the right

Please note: Once you have disconnected your calendar connection, you need to manually remove the "Travelperk Trips" calendar from your Google calendar. 

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

What type of events will I see on my "Travelperk trips" calendar?

You will see any type of booking made at Travelperk like Flights, Hotels, Cars or Train reservations. Each one of those events will contain general information about the booking like its Travelperk ID, Departure, Arrival time or Booking reference. 

Will modifications or cancellations be reflected in my "Travelperk trips" calendar?

Yes! Any changes to these bookings, like a different departure date or a cancellation, will be reflected in the calendar in a short time. 

Can I have more than one google calendar account connected to my Travelperk account?

Yes! The integration allows adding up to 5 linked calendars. However, each one needs to have a different email account. 

Will the Travelperk Calendar integration read my personal events? 

No, as we only ask permission to "Make secondary Google calendars, and see, create, change and delete events on them". This effectively means that we can only read and push information to the "Travelperk Trips" calendar that this integration creates.
