Overview
There is nothing extra to connect. Google Meet comes with your Google Calendar connection: leave the video call in your booking rules on Google Meet and every event Darwin creates gets a Meet link from Google, sent to the visitor in the invitation. Book with Calendly instead and a meeting type with a Google Meet location does the same job. Prefer Zoom? Connect it and switch the video call.
What you get
- Already there. Connect Google Calendar and Meet links are on by default. No second account, no second sign-in.
- Sent by Google. The invitation comes from your own Google account, the way any calendar invite does, with the Meet link already inside.
- Easy to change. Switch the video call to Zoom or to none in your booking rules whenever you like. Existing events keep their links.
How it works
- 01Connect Google Calendar. Sign in with the Google account that hosts your meetings and approve what Google asks for. That is the only setup there is.
- 02Keep Google Meet as the video call. It is the default in your booking rules. Save the rules and you are done.
- 03Book in chat. A visitor confirms a time. Google creates the Meet link as it creates the event, so the link is in the invitation before you have seen it.
Before you start
- A Google Calendar connection in Darwin, or a Calendly meeting type with a Google Meet location.
- A Google account that can create Meet links. Google Workspace and personal Google accounts both can.
- Owner or admin access to the Darwin workspace.
Questions
Do I need to connect Google Meet separately?
No. There is nothing to connect for Meet on its own. When Darwin creates the event in Google Calendar it asks Google for a Meet link, and Google puts it in the invitation.
Can I use Google Meet with Calendly?
Yes. Give the Calendly meeting type a single Google Meet location. Calendly then adds the link itself, through your own Calendly to Google connection, and Darwin shows the confirmed booking.
Does the visitor need a Google account?
No. The link in the invitation opens Google Meet in a browser. Whether guests without a Google account are let straight in is set by your Google account's Meet settings, not by Darwin.
