Connect the calendar you already use, so Autopilot never offers a slot when you are busy and new bookings appear on your phone.
Before you start #
- A Google or Outlook (Microsoft 365) calendar you can edit.
- Each person connects their own calendar from their own login.
Steps #
-
Settings → Calendars → Connections
Open the Connections tab at the top.
-
Connect Google or Outlook
Add a new connection, choose Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar and click Connect. Sign in and accept every permission it asks for.
-
Choose your linked calendar
Pick the calendar new bookings should be written to, then save.
-
Add conflict calendars
Turn on any other calendars that should block time, such as a family or personal calendar. Autopilot will not offer slots when those show you as busy.
Good to know #
- Your linked calendar automatically blocks time too.
- Only events marked as busy block slots. Events marked as free do not.
- With two-way sync, events you add in Google or Outlook also appear in Autopilot.
- You need permission to edit the calendar you link, not just view it.
Troubleshooting #
If you see a red warning about the connection, click Reconnect and sign in again.
If a slot shows as free when you are busy, check the event in your own calendar is marked as busy and that calendar is added as a conflict calendar.
