## Overview

Automatically import Google Calendar events directly into specific projects based on meeting titles. Once imported, they will be stored, transcribed, and summarized automatically with AI.

## Set up Google Calendar integration

Connecting your Google Calendar and Dovetail accounts means you’ll no longer need to import recorded meetings manually. You can now configure multiple rules to automatically route different types of meetings to different projects based on keywords in the event title. You’ll also need to connect your Dovetail account with your video conferencing tool so that all of the required event information can be imported.

* To do this, navigate to [Settings](https://dovetail.com/settings/integrations) and click on `Google Calendar`.
* Click `Connect` and sign in/select the Google account that you wish to authenticate.
* From there, select your video source (e.g., **Zoom**) and continue to authenticate.
* Once authenticated, you can add up to 4 configuration rules. For each rule, select your desired calendar, define the keywords the meeting title must contain (e.g., "User Interview"), and select the specific **Project** you want those recordings routed to.
* Press `Save` to activate your configurations.

<Info>
  **If your connection is interrupted**

  If your Google Calendar authentication expires or disconnects in the background, Dovetail will notify you by email and show a **Needs reconnect** badge next to the integration in Settings.

  To restore the connection, navigate to [Settings → Integrations](https://dovetail.com/settings/integrations), click on **Google Calendar**, and reconnect your Google account. You'll need to set up your configuration rules again once reconnected.

  Any calendar events that occurred while the integration was disconnected will not be automatically imported.

<Tip>
  If you'd only like specific events to be imported to Dovetail, you can enter specific keywords within the configuration modal under the 'Event title must contain' field. Meetings that contain *any* of the keywords entered will be imported.
