Last updated: February 26, 2026
For Google Users, as part of the setup process, you will be granted access to one or more shared calendars - GoodTime Interviews & GoodTime Sync.
When you receive an email similar to the screenshot below, please do not select “Add this calendar”.
If you do add the calendar, please follow the steps below:
- Open your Google calendar.
- Uncheck the box(es) next to the GoodTime Interviews and/or GoodTime Sync calendar(s) so all GoodTime calendar invites are not added to your personal calendar.
FAQs
- What happens if I leave these calendars checked? All interviews scheduled by all users in GoodTime will be visible on your personal calendar.
- What are these calendars? GoodTime uses these calendars to “host” calendar invites for interviewers and candidates, similar to a shared calendar.
- What happens if I change interviews/calendar invites on this calendar/on my calendar? If this calendar is not hidden, it will look like all of the interviews stored on these GoodTime calendars are on your personal calendar; any changes you make to those invites (i.e. canceling them, changing the date, etc.) will directly affect the schedule and potentially cancel the interview
- If I hide these calendars, can I still use GoodTime? Absolutely - it will not affect your ability to use the tool.
