If you manage Google Workspace for your organization, you may need to approve Multical before your team members can connect their Google Calendars.

Approval takes about a minute and does not require signing up for Multical or incurring any cost.

Who needs to do this

A Google Workspace Super Admin, or a user with the Security admin role.

Steps

  1. Make sure you are signed in to Google with your admin account.

  2. Visit the Google Admin Console and go to Security → Access and data control → API controls.

  3. Click Manage Third-Party App Access, then click Add app → OAuth App Name Or Client ID.

  4. Paste the following Client ID into the search box and press Enter:

    703066352040-8dlos0gdbg9j111p31av0h4no230ltpo.apps.googleusercontent.com

  5. Select Multical from the results and click Select.

  6. Choose which organizational units this applies to (select your entire organization if unsure), then click Continue.

  7. Under Access, select Trusted: Can access all Google services, then click Continue → Finish.

Your team members can now connect their Google Calendars.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sign up for Multical to approve it?
No. Completing the steps above is all that's needed.

Will approving this give Multical access to everyone's calendar?
No. Each individual user must still connect their own calendar by signing in to Multical and authorizing it themselves. Approving the app simply allows users in your organization to do that.

Can I revoke access later?
Yes. Go to Google Admin Console → Security → API controls → Manage Third-Party App Access, find Multical, and remove it.
