Google Calendar FAQs

Can calendar events made by users not onboarded to Gable be synced?
Yes. These users will have a Gable profile created automatically, with the Welcome email suppressed.

Are on-demand or overnight bookings supported?
No — neither on-demand nor overnight bookings are supported. Overnight reservations must be split across calendar days.

Are repeating bookings supported?
Yes — recurring Google events sync into Gable as separate bookings.

Does 2-Way Sync respect Gable booking rules?
No — Google-created events bypass Gable booking rules (like room assignment restrictions).

Multi-resource bookings
Only one booking is created in Gable, tied to the first accepted resource.

Sync timeframe
Recommended settings are 0 days past and 60-90 days future.

Sync refresh
Updates weekly to maintain a rolling window.

Non-standard times (e.g., 10:12–1:51)
Gable respects Google’s times, but new Gable bookings can only start/end on 30-minute intervals.

Does your Google Calendar integration require domain-wide delegation?

No. Our Google Calendar integration does not use domain-wide delegation. We use standard OAuth2, which means an admin goes through a normal consent flow to authorize access — no service accounts.

Do I need to be a Google Workspace super admin to set up the calendar integration?

Yes. The initial connection must be authorized by a Google Workspace super admin, because the integration requires domain-level permissions to read and write calendar events across your organization. Once a super admin grants access, individual users don't need elevated permissions to use it.

What if permissions are revoked?
Sync will stop. Gable logs flag the issue, and our team will reach out to notify you and assist inn rectifying.

What happens if I delete a space in Gable?
The associated sync pair is removed, and cleanup follows the deactivation process.

What happens if I delete a resource in Google Calendar?
The sync pair remains in Gable, but no future changes sync.

What if resource pairing fails during setup?
Usually permissions-related. Remove the sync pair, retry, or contact support.

Can we use 1-Way and 2-Way at the same time?
No — only one method can be active.

Can we integrate with Microsoft and Google (or multiple Google tenants)?
No — only one provider/tenant at a time.

Subscription required?
2-Way Sync is available to companies with Company Office enabled in their subscription.

Race conditions (simultaneous booking requests)?
Only one event is accepted by the resource; the other is rejected.

Non-calendar users booking synced spaces
Not supported. All bookings must be made by licensed users with active calendars.

Booking via group calendars
Not supported — events must be created by a single, licensed user.

Creating events directly as a room calendar
Not supported — the event must come from a user calendar, with the room added.

Do Google-side integrations still work?
Yes, for bookings created in Google. Gable-initiated bookings won’t trigger them.

Do Gable check-ins count as Zoom Room check-ins?
No — this requires a separate Zoom integration.

Will Gable still send check-in notifications?
Yes — Gable continues to send its standard notifications.
