# Google Calendar Troubleshooting

> Common issues with the Google Calendar integration and how to resolve them.

## Connection issues

| Issue                                                  | What to do                                                                                                                                                                   |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **OAuth consent screen never appears**                 | Check your browser's popup blocker — Google's consent screen opens in the same tab but some extensions interfere. Try again in an incognito window with extensions disabled. |
| **"Reconnect required" badge on the card**             | Your refresh token was revoked at Google (or expired after long inactivity). Click **Reconnect** and complete OAuth again. Your agent settings are preserved.                |
| **Connected the wrong Google account**                 | Click **Disconnect**, then **Connect** again, and sign in with the right account. Make sure you're signed out of the wrong account in your browser first.                    |
| **"Authorisation failed" after returning from Google** | The redirect didn't complete cleanly — usually a transient browser issue. Try again. If it persists, try in a different browser.                                             |

## Availability issues

| Issue                                                       | What to do                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Agent says "I can't check the calendar right now"**       | A transient network or Google API issue. The call continues normally. If this happens repeatedly, contact <a href="mailto:support@voqo.ai?subject=Google%20Calendar%20availability%20errors">support</a>.                                        |
| **Agent never offers any slots**                            | Check that your **Look-ahead** window is long enough to contain free time (e.g. if your calendar is solidly booked for the next 5 days, no slots will be found). Try increasing **Look-ahead** or reducing **Minimum notice**.                   |
| **Agent offers slots that conflict with existing meetings** | The calendars selected on the action may not include the calendar the conflicting meeting is on. Open the action config and tick the missing calendar in the **Calendars** dropdown.                                                             |
| **Slots are in the wrong timezone**                         | Set the **Default timezone** field to your office's IANA timezone (e.g. `Australia/Sydney`). If the caller mentions a different timezone on the call, the agent will use the caller's timezone — but the default kicks in when neither is known. |
| **Slots don't respect my working hours**                    | The integration uses your calendar's **free/busy** windows, not your Google working-hours setting. Block out non-working hours on your calendar (e.g. as recurring busy events) so they show up as busy.                                         |

## Calendar picker issues

| Issue                                                                  | What to do                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Calendars dropdown is empty or "Couldn't load calendars"**           | A transient Google API issue. Close and re-open the action config — the dropdown will retry. If it keeps happening, contact <a href="mailto:support@voqo.ai?subject=Google%20Calendar%20picker%20issue">support</a>. |
| **A shared calendar I expected isn't in the dropdown**                 | The Google account you connected needs **at least "See free/busy information only"** access to that shared calendar. Ask the calendar owner to share it with the connected account, then re-open the action config.  |
| **I deleted a calendar in Google but it's still selected on my agent** | Re-open the action config — the dropdown will refresh from Google and you can remove the dead calendar from your selection.                                                                                          |

## Permission issues

| Issue                                                                                   | What to do                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Connected but the agent never uses the action**                                       | Check the agent's **Conversation Settings** → **Function Calls** — the **GCal — Check Availability** action needs to be added to that specific agent (not just connected at the workspace level). |
| **Removed the Voqo permission at Google but the integration card still says Connected** | The card will flip to **Reconnect required** the next time it tries to use your calendar. To force the update, click **Disconnect** in Voqo and reconnect.                                        |

## When to contact support

* You've tried the steps above and the issue persists.
* You're seeing repeated errors across multiple calls.
