What You Get
- Unified "Coming Up" view across the Google Calendars you choose to show

How to Connect
Google Calendar is currently available as a supported, read-only calendar source. Freshness varies with provider and system timing after the initial connection.
- Sign in, then go to Integrations
- Click Connect and complete the Google consent screen
- Choose which calendars are shown using the visibility toggles
Google shows the exact permissions requested on the consent screen. We only request read-only access to your calendars.
Read-Only Integration
ComingUp Today is designed as a read-only integration with Google Calendar. This design choice exists because shared calendars often break down once multiple people are editing events, especially in families and small groups. We've written more about why that happens and what actually helps in Why Shared Calendars Break Down for Families. We read your calendar events to display them in a unified view, but we never create, modify, or delete events in your Google Calendar. Your source calendars remain unchanged. For teams or families that need visibility without edit access, learn more in our shared calendar visibility setup.
This read-only approach is intentional. ComingUp Today focuses on visibility and coordination, not calendar management. You continue to manage events in Google Calendar (or wherever you prefer), while ComingUp Today shows them alongside events from other people and calendars in your workspace. If you're curious about the broader coordination problems this approach is designed to solve, we explore that idea in more depth in Every Problem Is a Communication Problem.
