### **Connect Google Calendar**

### **Prerequisites**

#### **Create a service account and invite the account to your Google Calendar**

The integration with Google Calendar functions via service account authentication. The service account must be created on a Google Cloud Project that has enabled access to the Google Calendar API in order for it to be able to access the calendar APIs. To enable access to the Google Calendar API, navigate to **APIs & Services > Enable APIs and Services > Search for Google Calendar API > Enable**. For more information on how to create a service account, visit the documentation [here](https://docs.runway.team/app-stores/google-play-console#how-to-create-a-service-account-for-use-in-runway).

Before you can connect the service account to Runway, you must invite the service account to your Google Calendar so it has access to the calendar you wish to use for your release schedule. To invite your service account to your calendar, follow these steps:

1. In the sidebar of calendar.google.com, find the release calendar you wish to integrate with Runway and click the options menu.
