Connect email and calendar

Why this matters

Two things switch on. Email means a client's reply is filed against their event instead of getting lost in your inbox. Calendar means Celestial can see when you are already busy, so a date you have taken elsewhere stops being offered to somebody new.

   Home → Connect email and calendar goes there.
2. Click Connect Google

4. You land back in Celestial
   The connection shows as active.
