What is
Google Calendar
?
While some of us have a love/hate relationship with our calendars, they may very well be the unsung hero of our workdays. We're able to track meetings, schedule calls with customers, block off dedicated time for crucial projects, set reminders, and add tasks. Adding Cascade to your calendar allows you to add goals to your calendar so that you don't miss the crucial due dates you have set!

FAQs
Does my calendar update automatically?
Once you have set up the sync between your calendar and Cascade, any new objective that you add within the parameters set (plan, objectives, success criteria) will be automatically updated to your calendar. Same goes for changing the due date of an objective, it will update automatically in your calendar.
Please note that Google calendar may take up to 24 hours to update.
Where can I see the calendars I have set up?
The plans you have synced with your calendar appear in the Integrations page under the Calendar tab, there you will be able to add new plans, as well as edit or remove your existing ones.
