How to sync Zoho Calendar with Google Calendar or Outlook
If your business runs on Zoho but your clients, or your personal life, run on Google or Outlook, here's how to bring them together.
Updated November 11, 2026
Zoho's built-in Google sync
- In Zoho Calendar, open Settings, Calendar, Calendar Accounts, then Google Calendar.
- Sign in to Google and allow access.
- Under Calendar lists, pick the Google calendars to sync, then Save.
Where it falls short: it's for paid Zoho Mail, Workplace and One plans and is still rolling out, it connects one Google account at a time, and events you create in Zoho's own calendars don't go to Google: you have to create them in the synced Google calendar.
Share Zoho by link (free, one-way)
- In Zoho Calendar, open Settings, Calendar, My Calendars and pick the calendar.
- Under Sharing and permissions, copy the iCal link under Private URL, or turn on Public access and choose View only Free/Busy.
- In Google Calendar, add it under Other calendars, From URL. In Outlook, use Add calendar, Subscribe from web.
Where it falls short: it's a read-only copy that refreshes on Google's or Microsoft's schedule (Microsoft says it can take more than a day), and it doesn't count toward your availability, so people can still book over those events.
Bring Google or Outlook into Zoho (read-only)
In Zoho Calendar, choose Settings, Calendar, Subscribe, Web URL, and paste the other calendar's iCal link. You'll see the events in Zoho, but you can't change them and they don't block time.
Make Zoho and your other calendars block time for each other
Syncydo connects to Zoho directly, alongside Google Calendar and Microsoft 365. When you're busy in one, it adds a hold to the others, both ways. Zoho calendars are checked every few minutes on Plus and Pro, and every 15 minutes on the free plan.
- Mix Zoho with any number of Google or Microsoft accounts, up to your plan's calendar count.
- Holds say Busy, so Zoho colleagues never see your other calendars' details.
- Clashes flagged, and every calendar in one view.
Questions
Will my Zoho colleagues see my other meetings?
No. Holds say Busy unless you choose otherwise.
Can one Zoho calendar sync to two Syncydo accounts?
No. Each Zoho calendar can be connected to one Syncydo account.
