Connect Google Calendar to Distinctful
Plan against the week you actually have.
A content calendar that ignores your real calendar produces plans that do not survive the week. This connection is read-only by construction: Distinctful asks only for permission to read your calendar list and your events, so it can show your commitments as context and cannot create, move, or delete a single event.
What connects
- The list of calendars on your Google account, so you choose which to overlay
- Events from the calendars you select, shown as read-only context
- Nothing else. There is no write path to Google Calendar

- 01Open Settings, go to Integrations, and choose Google Calendar.

Questions
Can Distinctful create or move events?
No, and the permissions make that impossible rather than merely disallowed. Distinctful requests read-only access to your calendar list and your events, and asks for no write access of any kind.
Which calendars does it read?
Only the ones you select after connecting. The calendar list is fetched so you can choose; nothing is overlaid until you pick it.
What happens when I disconnect?
Distinctful clears its own access first, so disconnecting never waits on Google Calendar, then asks Google Calendar to revoke the token. Posts you already published keep their history in Distinctful.
