# Connecting Your Email & Calendar

Operate integrates with your email and calendar so meetings, messages, and contacts stay up to date without manual data entry.

## Supported providers

* **Google Workspace** (Gmail, Google Calendar)
* **Microsoft 365** (Outlook, Outlook Calendar)

## Connecting your email

1. Go to **Settings > Integrations**
2. Click **Connect Email**
3. Choose your provider and authorize Operate
4. Select which mailboxes to sync

Once connected, Operate will automatically associate emails with the relevant people and companies in your CRM.

## Connecting your calendar

1. Go to **Settings > Integrations**
2. Click **Connect Calendar**
3. Authorize access to your calendar

Operate uses your calendar to:

* **Surface meeting context** — see who you're meeting with and their deal history before the call
* **Auto-log meetings** — meetings with known contacts are automatically recorded in the CRM
* **Generate Next Steps** — after meetings, Operate prompts you to capture follow-up actions

## Privacy

Operate only reads calendar events and email metadata needed for CRM functionality. Email body content is used to match contacts and surface relevant context — it is never shared externally.
