Overview
Connecting Google Calendar lets MileIntel detect travel events, avoid scheduling conflicts, and optionally write trip details back to your calendar. The setup takes about 30 seconds.
How to Connect
- Go to Settings > Connected Accounts.
- Click Connect Google Calendar.
- Sign in with your Google account and grant MileIntel calendar access.
- Choose which calendars to sync. You'll see a list of all calendars on your account — personal, work, shared. Check the ones that contain travel events.
- Click Save.
MileIntel begins syncing immediately. Your first sync may take a minute if you have years of calendar history.
Permissions Requested
- Read calendar events — MileIntel scans event titles, dates, and locations for travel signals (flight numbers, hotel names, airport codes).
- Write calendar events (optional) — Only used if you enable calendar write-back in Settings. This creates events for upcoming flights and hotel stays.
MileIntel never modifies or deletes your existing calendar events.
Key Details
- You can connect multiple Google accounts if you have separate work and personal calendars.
- Sync runs automatically every 15 minutes. You can force a manual sync from Settings > Connected Accounts.
- To disconnect, click Disconnect next to Google Calendar in Settings. Your MileIntel trips remain — only the sync link is removed.
Tips
- If your work calendar has travel booked by an assistant, connect that account too. MileIntel will pick up those trips automatically.
