Overview

Mokaru’s calendar integration keeps your job search schedule and your personal calendar in sync. Connect Google Calendar or Outlook and your interviews, follow-ups, and deadlines appear automatically - no manual entry needed.
Calendar sync is a Plus feature. Free users can preview the integration, but connecting a calendar requires a Plus subscription.

Connecting Your Calendar

1

Open Settings

Go to Settings and select the Integrations tab.
2

Choose your provider

Click Connect next to either Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar.
3

Authorize access

Sign in to your Google or Microsoft account and grant Mokaru permission to read and write calendar events.
4

Start syncing

Once connected, Mokaru automatically syncs your calendar. Your upcoming events will appear within moments.
You can connect both Google Calendar and Outlook at the same time if you use multiple calendars for different purposes.

How Calendar Sync Works

Automatic background sync

Mokaru syncs your calendar automatically whenever you open your dashboard or job tracker. Events from the past 7 days and the next 30 days are kept in sync, so you always have an up-to-date view of your schedule.

Interview scheduling

When you schedule an interview in Mokaru, it is automatically pushed to your connected calendar with all the relevant details - company name, interview type, video call link, and location. If you reschedule or cancel, your calendar updates too.

Follow-up events

Create a follow-up action in the job tracker (such as “Send thank-you email” or “Check in with recruiter”) and it appears on your calendar as a reminder. Never let a follow-up slip through the cracks.

Two-way sync

Calendar sync works in both directions:
  • Mokaru to Calendar - interviews and follow-ups you create in Mokaru appear on your calendar
  • Calendar to Mokaru - events from your calendar appear in the Mokaru dashboard agenda, giving you a complete view of your day alongside your job search activity

Managing Your Connection

Manual sync

Your calendar syncs automatically, but you can trigger a manual sync anytime from Settings > Integrations if you want to see the latest changes immediately.

Disconnecting

To disconnect a calendar, go to Settings > Integrations and click Disconnect next to the calendar you want to remove. Your synced events will be removed from Mokaru, but your external calendar is not affected.
If you downgrade from Plus to Free, your calendar connection stays saved but syncing pauses. Upgrade again and syncing resumes automatically - no need to reconnect.

Privacy and Security

Your calendar data is handled with care:
  • Encrypted tokens - your calendar credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption
  • Minimal permissions - Mokaru only requests access to read and write calendar events, nothing else
  • No data sharing - your calendar data is never shared with third parties
  • Instant revocation - disconnect at any time from Settings, or revoke access directly from your Google or Microsoft account
Pair calendar sync with Email Integration to keep your entire communication and scheduling workflow in one place. Manage all integration connections from Settings.
