How To Integrate Google Calendar With Otter

Automate Meeting Transcription with the Otter + Google Calendar Integration

Otter integrates seamlessly with Google Calendar, making it easier than ever to automatically capture and summarize your meetings. By connecting your calendar to Otter, you’ll unlock smart meeting automation features like automatic transcription, summaries, real-time sharing, and AI agent capabilities. Trust us - you’ll never miss a detail with this integration.

What the Google Calendar Integration Enables

When you connect Google Calendar to Otter, you can:

• Automatically join and transcribe calendar events using Otter
• Instantly share Otter transcripts and summaries with your fellow meeting participants
• Receive a meeting summary email after each of your meetings, complete with action items and an outline of what was discussed
• Keep your “Home” area in Otter synced with your upcoming meetings, so everything is in one place

This integration is perfect for anyone who spends their day in meetings. From sales teams to execs and educators, it is for those of you who want to keep everything searchable, shareable, and streamlined.

Note: Otter syncs only your primary calendar from each connected Google account (secondary and subscribed calendars are not currently supported).

FAQs

1. Can I connect more than one Google Calendar?
   Yes! You can connect multiple accounts, but as mentioned above, Otter will only sync the primary calendar from each.
2. Does Otter support recurring events or invite updates?
   Yes! Otter will follow any changes made to your synced calendar and adjust accordingly so nothing gets missed.
3. Can I use this integration on mobile?
   Absolutely, and we recommend that you do. The Google Calendar integration works on both iOS and Android versions of the Otter mobile app.
4. Do I need Zapier to use this integration?
   No. Direct connection through Otter settings is the default, and most common. If you want to build more complex workflows, Zapier opens up even more flexibility for this.
