What is Google Calendar?

Google Calendar is Google's online calendar. You use it with a free Google account or through Google Workspace, the business suite with Gmail, Drive and Docs. Plenty of people plan their appointments, meetings and reminders in it, both on their computer and on their phone.

For many contractors, Google Calendar is where the whole working day lives, also on the road. With the connection between Bouwflow and Google Calendar you no longer have to keep that calendar separately: what you plan in Bouwflow shows up in Google Calendar, and the other way around. That way you always work from a single calendar, wherever you are.

Bouwflow support cannot bypass or set up that approval for you.
