Why Connect an External Calendar?

Connecting CrewBrix to your Google or Apple Calendar gives you two-way visibility:

CrewBrix → External: Your jobs and appointments appear in your phone's native calendar app.
External → CrewBrix: Personal events (doctor's appointment, school pickup) appear in CrewBrix as busy blocks so dispatchers don't schedule over them.

Connecting Google Calendar

Go to Settings → Integrations → Calendar.
Tap Connect Google Calendar.
You're redirected to Google's login screen — sign in with the Google account whose calendar you want to sync.
Grant CrewBrix permission to view and edit events (required for two-way sync).
Tap Allow. You're returned to CrewBrix with a Connected confirmation.

Which calendar to sync? If you have multiple Google Calendars, select the correct one on the next screen (e.g. "Work" vs "Personal").

Connecting Apple Calendar

Go to Settings → Integrations → Calendar.
Tap Connect Apple Calendar.
On iOS, a system dialog asks for calendar access — tap Allow Full Access.
Select which Apple Calendar to sync with CrewBrix jobs.
Tap Save.

Note: Apple Calendar sync is available on iOS only. On macOS, use the iCloud web calendar sync option.

Sync Direction

Setting	What it does
Outbound only	CrewBrix jobs appear in your external calendar; external events are NOT imported
Two-way	Jobs export to external calendar AND external busy events block CrewBrix scheduling

Change the sync direction in Settings → Integrations → Calendar → Sync Direction.

Managing Multiple Technicians

Each technician connects their own calendar through their personal account (Settings → Integrations → Calendar). The admin does not connect calendars on behalf of technicians.

Disconnecting

To disconnect: Settings → Integrations → Calendar → Disconnect. Existing calendar events that were already synced remain in your external calendar; future changes in CrewBrix will no longer sync.
