How to Connect Google Workspace to Banana Cards: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide

In today's digital landscape, seamless video conferencing integration is vital for managing client appointments, team strategy sessions, and virtual event bookings. Banana Cards features a native Google integration that automates virtual scheduling completely.

Once your Google account is connected, every scheduled service auto-generates a unique Google Meet link, eliminating the need for manual link creation or calendar updates. This guide walks you through the process of connecting and managing your Google Workspace accounts within the Banana Cards platform.

Why Integrate Google Meet with Banana Cards?

Integrating your Google video conferencing account directly into your workspace streamlines communication and boosts productivity:

• Automated Meeting Generation: No more copying and pasting links. Banana Cards creates them instantly upon booking confirmation.
• Multi-Account Support: Connect separate Google accounts for different team members to maintain distinct scheduling streams.
• Workspace Synchronization: Keep clients informed with automated email notifications containing precise virtual meeting details.

How to Connect Your Google Account

Connecting your video conference stream takes less than two minutes. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Integration Settings

1. Log into your account on the Banana Cards platform.
2. Open your workspace menu and select Integrations.
3. Scroll down to the Google Workspace section.

2. Authenticate with Google

1. Click the Add Google Account button.
2. A secure authorization window will open.
3. Log in with your Google credentials and grant the necessary permissions for Banana Cards to access your Google Calendar and Meet services.

3. Verify Connection Status

Once authorized, you will be redirected to the integration deck, where you can view your linked account email and the associated team member.

Pro Tip: If you have multiple team members, have each individual log in and connect their specific Google profile to prevent calendar collisions and overlapping meetings.

Setting Up Google Meet in Your Services

Once your account is connected, you must assign it to your booking services so clients can access the meeting links.

1. Access the Service Editor: Go to your Services tab and click on the service you wish to edit.
2. Configure Location: Scroll down to the Location settings.
3. Select Google Meet: Click Add Location Option and select Google Meet from the dropdown menu.

Troubleshooting: Link Not Generating

If a client books a session but the confirmation email is missing the link, check the following:

• Integration Status: Confirm your Google account is still active and hasn't been disconnected or expired in your Integrations tab.
• Location Selection: Ensure you explicitly selected Google Meet as the location type within the specific service template.
• Admin Permissions: If using a corporate Workspace account, verify that your IT administrator allows third-party applications to generate calendar events.
