Toolkit & Connectors
Connecting Google Calendar
Overview
Connect your Google Calendar so Torki can read your schedule and add new events from a chat.
What it needs
Google Workspace is available on every plan, including Free.
Get started
1. Connect
- Open Toolkit in the sidebar; you land on Connectors
- Click Google Workspace — it is under Productivity, or type "Google" in Search apps…
- Under "Services & permissions", find Google Calendar and click Connect
- Sign in with your Google account on Google's own page and grant the permissions
You come back to the Toolkit with Google Workspace open and a "Google Calendar connected" message.
You can also connect from Settings → Connectors, where Google Calendar is a row on the Google Workspace card.
2. Check it connected
The Google Calendar row shows a Connected badge and your Google email address, and its button changes to Disconnect. The pill at the top of the page counts your Google services — "1 of 3 connected".
3. Read your schedule
Ask "What's on my calendar today?", "What meetings do I have next week?" or "What's on between 3 and 10 October?"
Torki reads your primary calendar for today, tomorrow, this week, next week or the dates you give, up to 50 events, and shows them on a card headed with that window — for example "Google Calendar — This Week".
4. Create an event
Ask "Schedule a design review tomorrow at 3pm for 45 minutes". Torki shows an approval card headed Create calendar event, with a line such as create the calendar event "Design review" on tomorrow at 15:00. Nothing is created until you press Allow once or Always allow.
Good to know
Torki sends a title, a day, a start time and a duration — and nothing else. It cannot add guests, a location, a description, a reminder or a repeat, so it cannot invite anyone to an event it creates. Send the invitations yourself afterwards.
Changing or deleting an existing event is not supported either, even though the Toolkit row lists "Create and edit events" — that line describes the permission Google grants, not something Torki does.
What Torki is allowed to see
Connecting Google Calendar asks Google for three things: your account email address, read access to your calendar, and permission to create calendar events. Torki does not ask for Gmail, Contacts, Drive or any other Google service on this connection. You can review the exact list on Google's consent screen before you approve.
Controlling it
Reading and creating are separate tools — Google Calendar View and Google Calendar Create — under Toolkit → Permissions. Set Create to Never if you only want Torki to read.
Disconnecting
In Toolkit → Connectors → Google Workspace, click Disconnect on the Google Calendar row and confirm. Torki deletes its stored token for Calendar and asks Google to revoke it, best-effort. Your other Google services stay connected.
If you want to be certain the grant is gone on Google's side too, also remove Torki from your Google account's third-party access page.
FAQ
Can I ask about next week?
Yes — next week, today, tomorrow, or a range of dates.
Can Torki invite my team to a meeting?
No — it cannot add guests. Create the event through Torki, then add people in Google Calendar.
Can Torki move or cancel an event?
No. It can read your calendar and add new events, nothing else.
Does connecting Calendar give Torki my Gmail?
No. This connection asks only for your email address, calendar read and event creation, and Torki has no Gmail connector.
