# Connect Google Calendar to SetLuca

On Google Calendar, SetLuca runs booking types directly: your working hours, buffers, and location, with no separate scheduler in between for your coaching.

## What connecting Google Calendar does

- Runs booking types straight on your Google Calendar: working hours, buffers, and location, no separate scheduler.
- Qualifies a lead against your goal, budget, and timeline bar before it ever offers a slot.
- Reads live availability, books the call, and writes it back immediately.
- Sends reminders in the same thread, and handles reschedules and no-shows the way you write.

## How it works

1. **Connect your account.** In SetLuca, connect Google Calendar from Settings and sign in once. SetLuca reads your real-time openings from that point on.
2. **Keep your own rules.** Your Google Calendar working hours and buffers carry over. SetLuca only ever offers what you'd actually offer.
3. **Let a qualified lead book.** Once a lead clears your bar, SetLuca offers a real opening in their timezone and confirms the call on your calendar.

## What it reads and writes

- Reads: your live availability, working hours, and buffers.
- Writes: the confirmed booking to your calendar. SetLuca keeps the pre-call brief and post-call summary on the lead in your workspace, not on the calendar.
