# Sync Clamly exams with Google Calendar integration

> Connect Google Calendar to Clamly for two-way exam sync, so your exams appear in Google Calendar and stay up to date automatically as you edit them.

The Google Calendar integration lets you see all your Clamly exam entries alongside the rest of your schedule. Once connected, any exam you add, edit, or remove in Clamly is automatically reflected in your Google Calendar.

## Why connect Google Calendar?

## How to connect Google Calendar

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the Exams Page">
    Open the **Exams** section from the main navigation sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Connect Google Calendar">
    Find the **Google Calendar** banner or button at the top of the Exams page and click **Connect**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Access">
    A Google sign-in window will open. Choose the Google account whose calendar you want to sync, then review and accept the permissions Clamly requests.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sync Complete">
    Once authorized, your existing Clamly exams will appear in Google Calendar within a few seconds. New exams you add will sync automatically going forward.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  You need an active Google account to use this integration. If you manage multiple Google accounts, make sure you select the correct one during the authorization step.
</Note>

## What access does Clamly request?

During authorization, Clamly requests **read and write access to your Google Calendar events**. This access is used exclusively to:

* **Create** calendar events for exams you add in Clamly
* **Update** those events when you edit an exam date, title, or subject
* **Delete** those events when you remove an exam from Clamly

<Warning>
  Clamly does not access Google Drive, Gmail, Contacts, or any other Google service. Only calendar event data is ever read or written.
</Warning>

## What syncs between the two platforms?

<Accordion title="Clamly to Google Calendar">
  Every exam entry you create in Clamly (including subject name, date, and any notes) is pushed to your connected Google Calendar as a calendar event. Updates and deletions in Clamly are mirrored to Google Calendar automatically.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Google Calendar to Clamly">
  Changes made directly to a Clamly-created event inside Google Calendar (such as date edits) are reflected back in your Clamly exam schedule, keeping both sides in sync.
</Accordion>

## How to disconnect Google Calendar

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the Exams Page">
    Open the **Exams** section from the main navigation sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Disconnect">
    Find the Google Calendar connection status and click **Disconnect**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Confirm the disconnection in the dialog. Clamly will immediately revoke its access token and delete any stored authorization credentials.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Disconnecting removes Clamly's access but does not delete the calendar events already created in Google Calendar. You can delete those manually from within Google Calendar if you wish.
</Tip>

After disconnecting, your exams remain in Clamly as normal. They simply won't sync to Google Calendar until you reconnect.
