# Calendar Integration

> Sync interviews, follow-ups, and deadlines with Google Calendar or Outlook using two-way calendar sync

## 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.

## 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

## Where Calendar Events Appear

| Location        | What you see                                                                              |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Dashboard**   | The agenda sidebar shows today's calendar events alongside your interviews and follow-ups |
| **Job Tracker** | Calendar events appear as dots on the date picker so you can avoid scheduling conflicts   |
| **Settings**    | Manage your connections, see sync status, and trigger a manual sync if needed             |

## 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.

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## 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
