3. Start Syncing with your Google Account.

With each permission given to MGR, respective sections will be enabled for you to start syncing with your Google Account.

Calendar Sync:

Choose a Calendar: Select the Google Calendar you wish to synchronize with MGR. Ensure that the selected calendar’s time zone aligns with your MGR shop settings.
Reminder: Select a preset reminder option to be applied to each event created in your Google Calendar.
Google Meet Conference: Enable this option if you want to create Google Meeting conferences for events in MGR.

Task List:

Select a List: Choose a task list from your Google Tasks where MGR reminders will be uploaded.
