Configure Zoho Settings for Google Calendar Interoperability

    After configuration of your Google role account in your Google server, you will be required to set up the availability address space of Zoho Calendar in your Google server. This will allow the Google Calendar users to view the free/busy status of the Zoho Calendar users.

    Set up a Google Workspace account in Zoho Calendar:

    1. Log into the Zoho Calendar Admin Console using your primary domain.

    2. Navigate to Interoperability from the left menu and choose Configure in the Google Workspace option. 

    3. Enter your Google role account email address and paste the password generated from the Google Calendar Interop Tools page.

    4. Click on Add and confirm again to add the new Google Workspace Configuration.

    5. The Google role account is now configured in the Zoho Calendar interoperability.

    Create a Zoho role account

    Using the Zoho role account, Zoho will create an availability address space in the Google server through which the Google users will be able to view the free/busy status of the users on the Zoho Calendar and communicate with them. The following points should be noted while creating a Zoho role account:

    • The Zoho role account created here is only used for sharing the availability status with both the users.
    • Zoho Calendar should be enabled for this Zoho account.

    Once the Zoho role account is created, note down the credentials to be entered in Zoho Settings in the Calendar Admin Console.

    Note

    • Any Zoho account can be used as a role account.
    • If domain aliasing is used, the user should use the alias domain for the role account so that the email lands in the folder for the requester.

    Configure Zoho role account in Zoho settings

    After creating the Zoho role account, Zoho Calendar should be added as an availability address space in the Google server. To set up the availability address space:

    1. Log into the Zoho Calendar Admin Console using your primary domain.
    2. Navigate to Interoperability from the left menu and choose Configure in the Google Workplace option.

    3. Go to Zoho settings, enter the Zoho role accounts' Username and App-specific Password in the Zoho user credentials, and click on Add.

      Note

      If you do not remember your account password or app-specific password, you can still continue to sign-in. Leave the password field empty and Passwords will be auto generated. The generated password will also be displayed in the Zoho settings page.

    4. The Zoho role account is configured.

    5. Use the credentials generated on your screen to configure the Zoho Role Account in Google Workspace.

    6. Go to Google Workspace Admin Calendar interoperability settings.

    7. Enter the Web server URL and google role account address generated from the Zoho role account configuration.

    8. Click on Update password and enter the password generated.

    9. Click save.

    To verify if the availability address space is configured successfully, you can perform tests in the Free/Busy lookup tester and derive results.
