# Google Calendar and interview invites

> How interviews scheduled in OpenATS reach your Google Calendar and your candidates’ calendars.

Candidates get a calendar file (`interview.ics`) with their interview confirmation. When your Gmail connection lists **Calendar sync**, interviews you schedule in OpenATS also go on your Google Calendar, with the panel as attendees.

## For the candidate

When your workspace has an interview email set up (**Settings → Email → Email automation → When an interview is scheduled**), the candidate’s confirmation carries `interview.ics`, which any calendar app can add.

## For your team

With **Calendar sync** on your connected Gmail, interviews you schedule appear on your Google Calendar with the panel as attendees. Google doesn’t send invitations for these events: the candidate’s invitation is the one in their confirmation email.

> **Note:** OpenATS doesn’t read your calendar’s free or busy times. The built-in self-scheduling link avoids times your panel already has OpenATS interviews; to offer times from your calendar, share your own booking page instead. See [Scheduling interviews](https://openats.ai/docs/roles-and-pipeline/interviews-and-scorecards).
