Connect your Google or Microsoft calendar so your scheduled interviews show up in Lavalier automatically.
How to Connect
Go to Settings → Integrations
Click Link My Google Calendar or Link My Outlook Calendar
Sign in and grant the requested permissions — make sure all checkboxes are selected
You're connected! Lavalier starts syncing right away. You'll see a status like "Last synced 5 minutes ago" on the Integrations page.
Tip: Your Lavalier account email must match your calendar email. If you signed up with a personal email but schedule interviews from your work calendar, events won't be matched.
How Lavalier Finds Your Interviews
Lavalier scans your calendar for events that contain the word "interview" in the title or body. Matching events appear on your Interview Calendar, where you can click the plus icon to add them as interviews.
Want to use a different keyword? Open the Interview Calendar, click into the calendar events dialog, and edit the keyword field. You might change it to "screening" or "phone screen" — whatever your team uses.
What You'll See on a Calendar-Sourced Interview
When you open an interview created from a calendar event, look for these controls:
- Connected — Shows which calendar event the interview is linked to. Click the event details to open the original event in your calendar.
- Assign Interviewer — Choose who's conducting the interview. (Date and time stay in sync with the calendar event.)
- Disconnect — Unlink this interview from its calendar event. The interview stays in Lavalier; only the calendar link is removed.
Disconnecting Your Calendar
- Go to Settings → Integrations
- Click Disconnect next to your calendar
Interviews you've already filled out are kept. Incomplete interviews created from calendar events are removed. You can reconnect anytime.
Note: Not connecting your calendar? You can still add interview@lavalier.ai as an attendee on any individual meeting — see Inviting Lavalier to Your Interviews.
Troubleshooting
My calendar events aren't showing up
Check that your event includes "interview" (or your custom keyword) in the title or body, and that your Lavalier account email matches your calendar email.
I see "Calendar Permissions Required"
Click your calendar's connect button again and make sure all checkboxes are selected on the permissions screen.
