Hello, and welcome to another addition of Delta Media Group's Tech Tuesday. So today, we are going to get into another aspect of Google sync. We went over Google sync with groups last week, which by the way, groups in Google are labeled. So when you send a label to customers on the Google side, that will put them in a group on the Delta side when you have those synced up. So anyway, that's how this works.

So now, we're going to get into the next aspect of Google sync, which is going to be the calendar system. So this is something we just recently added. As always, if you see any issues, let us know. But without further ado, let's go into the Delta Net and take a look at it.

So first of all, we'll take a look at the calendar itself. Man, I'm falling apart this morning. So the calendar itself has been in here for a while, but we've added a variety of new features to it. Things like recurrent events and multi-day events, and really cleaned the whole thing up so that you can do more with it, so it works more like the calendar systems that you're used to. So in order to get to it, I can go down here to ... and you'll be able to see all your calendar events right here on the welcome page with it, but if I go down to leads and contacts calendar, this takes me into the point where I can create calendar events.

So from here, we have our calendar over here on the left, we can hit the button to create a new event, but we also have our create a new event interface over here already. And if I click on any of these days, it will show me the events that are scheduled for that particular day. So, on the 26th, that I have selected, there are no events. But I could go through this list and click on them, and it would show me events scheduled for those days. Right now, on this account, there aren't any, so there's not much to look at.

The next thing you can do is you can create additional calendars, which is similar to the functionality that you'll see in Outlook or Google, you can go in and have different calendars that pertain to different things. To do that, I would just click on add new calendar, follow the process there to create my new calendar, just give it a name, then it will be selectable, then I can add events to that calendar.

So for now, we'll just stick with the default calendar, and we'll go ahead and create an event. So I'll click on date and time, I can make it an all day event if I want. In this case, I'm just going to say ... we'll do Fourth of July, why not. Fourth of July is coming up, so starting on and ending on Fourth of July, and let's start it at two o'clock in the afternoon, 2 PM, and we'll run it until 6 PM. More than enough time than I need to have fun at a Fourth of July party these days. I'm getting old, man. All right. We'll click apply, there we are, now you can see July 4th from 2 PM to 6 PM. And I can set it to repeat however I want, which would be kind of strange for a Fourth of July event unless I do it yearly. Let's do it every year. So every year, every one year, you can see how we can really get into this system. Not June, July. July 4th, running indefinitely, big Fourth of July party. This is the best party. It ends at 6 PM, so you know it was a really rousing affair, right?

So once you get your event information all filled out, we just click save, and that enters our event. So now, we've added an event to the calendar system. And you can look through all these different options here. You've got different methods of repetition, you can ... there are a lot of different options here. We kind of modeled it after the idea of an Outlook or a Google calendar so that you can really have a robust functional calendar in here. It's for everything.

So now that our event is created, I can go ahead and click on July 4th, and you can see that it shows up down here in my list and I can edit or delete it from here. But now, let's say that in addition to having these on the Delta Net, I want events that I create here to show up on my Google calendar. So I can go down here to Google, click on Google calendar, it will give me the option to activate the calendar. Now in this case, it attached to the account that I'm signed into with Google. If I wasn't already signed into a Google account, then it would take me to the log in page, I would log into my Google account, I would click on allow to allow the permissions we need to make the calendar work, and that would put the calendar in there.

We'll go ahead and enable calendar sync. So now, the calendar is in the Delta Net and we've created all the events we can do in there, and we've also synced it to our Google calendar. And that's all there is to it as far as the sync goes. Now that we've enabled the calendar sync, any events that we create on the Google calendar should pop up in here in the Delta Net automatically, and anything I create through the Delta Net should come up on the Google calendar automatically.

And if I click on manage calendar, that takes me over to where I can create the events on the Delta Net. Now, let me go ahead in the Google calendar. We're probably not going to see it, I don't think it would have synced right away. If I can pass [inaudible 00:05:35] there. Yeah. It's not in there quite yet, but once everything's all synced up between the two calendars, it should show up one side to the other here pretty quickly. So any event that I create here in my Google calendar will just pop up automatically in my Delta Net calendar and vice versa.

So that's pretty much all there is to it, the Google calendars thing. So as always, thanks a lot for joining me this week.
