How to Connect Multiple Google Calendars to Claude
Claude can see shared calendars on the Google account you connected. It cannot hold a second Google login on that same connector. Those are two different limits: one person may have work and personal Google accounts, while a single account may contain primary, team, family, and subscribed calendars. Carly connects all of them and preserves the calendar names, so Claude or Cowork can work across the whole set through one connection. Carly holds your Outlook calendars and every mailbox on both sides in the same place, so this setup covers the rest of what you own.
1. Add your Google calendars to Carly
- Sign in at carlyassistant.com.
- Open carlyassistant.com/integrations.
- Find Google Calendar, click Connect, and authorize the calendar.
- Click Connect again for the next one, and keep going for as many calendars as you want.
Carly calculates availability across Google Calendar and Outlook at the same time, while each event stays on its original calendar.
Carly connects to thousands of apps, so while you are on that page you can add your inboxes, files, CRM, and anything else you want Claude to reach through the same connector.
2. Add Carly to Claude
- Click Get the Carly connector, then Connect, and sign in with your Carly account.
- In chat or in a Cowork task, open + → Connectors and enable Carly.
On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds the connector to the organization first.
First identify which kind of “multiple” you have
Anthropic’s Google Workspace connector help says Claude can access Calendar data for “the Google account you’ve connected.” It also says Claude can “view events and calendars, including shared calendars you have access to,” and can create, update, and delete events on that account.
| Your setup | What it means |
|---|---|
| Work and personal Google logins | Multiple Google accounts, each with its own authorization |
| Primary, team, and family calendars under one login | Multiple calendars inside one Google account |
| Calendar shared to your account | A separate calendar reached through your current account |
| Subscribed ICS calendar | Usually read-only and owned elsewhere |
On the connected Google Calendar, Claude can:
- create, update, and delete events
- find mutual availability
- manage attendees
- accept, decline, or mark tentative
- set up recurring meetings

Quick fixes

|---|---|
| A secondary calendar is missing | Claude’s native connector should see shared calendars on the connected account |

| Carly is installed but unused | Enable it under + → Connectors for this chat or Cowork task |
| Team plan cannot add Carly | Ask the Claude Owner to enable the Carly connector |
Frequently asked questions
Can Claude connect two Google Calendar accounts?
Not natively. The Google connector is one account. Shared calendars under that account are supported. A second Google login requires Carly or a reconnect that drops the first account.
Can Claude read secondary Google Calendars?
Yes, on the connected account. Anthropic documents viewing events “including shared calendars you have access to.”
Can Claude create Google Calendar events?
Yes, on the connected account. Create, update, and delete are documented. Claude asks before acting.
Can Claude check work and personal Google Calendars in one chat?
Not with the native connector. Connect both accounts to Carly, add Carly to Claude, and just ask.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
