SIA for Google Calendar
Book interviews directly from SIA chat. No back-and-forth needed
Without a calendar connected, scheduling an interview means trading emails until a time works for everyone. Connecting Google Calendar lets SIA book interviews outright. It checks your actual availability from your calendar, picks a slot that works, and puts a Google Meet invite on both your calendar and the candidate's, all in one step.
Connecting Google Calendar
In Chat, open Connectors from the sidebar
Find the Google Calendar card and click Connect Google Calendar
A Google sign-in tab opens — sign in with the account whose calendar you want SIA to use
Review the permissions Google shows you. This request is for calendar access only, it does not touch Gmail or Drive. Click Allow
You're redirected back to Chat and the card now reads Connected
What you can do once connected
Once Google Calendar is connected, SIA can look at your real schedule and act on it:
Show what's already on your calendar — for a given day or week, so you know what you're working around before proposing anything
Suggest concrete free slots within your working hours — rather than a random time that may conflict with something else
Book the interview with a Google Meet link, and email the invite to the candidate — all in one step, without you creating the event and separately emailing the details
Cancel a booking and notify attendees — if a call needs to move or fall through, SIA can cancel it and let the candidate and anyone else invited know
Try it in SIA Chat
A few things to note
SIA proposes times based on your real calendar, but checks with you before anything actually books. Nothing is placed on your calendar or sent to a candidate without your confirmation.
