Connect Google

Last updated: October 5, 2026

Connect your Google account to Rally to check your availability, add interviews to your Google Calendar, create Google Meet links, and (if your workspace allows it) send participant emails from your Gmail address.

Google is a personal integration, so each Rally user connects their own account. Rally only asks for Gmail sending if your Admin has enabled Allow email sending permission when connecting Google or Microsoft accounts in Workspace account settings and your role can send email. Otherwise, you'll only connect your calendar.

Connect your Google account

Steps

  1. Navigate to Settings > Connected Accounts.

  2. Select Connect Google.

  3. In the popup window, sign in to the Google account you want to connect and select Continue.

  4. Review the requested permissions, listed in the table below, and select Allow.

  5. The popup closes automatically and Google shows as connected on the Connected Accounts page.

If you uncheck any permission on Google's approval screen, your account still connects, but the related feature won't work. Badges next to your Google connection show which permissions were granted. To fix a missing permission, select Reconnect and approve everything that's listed.

When you connect your Google account, Rally asks for the following permissions:

Disconnect or reconnect Google
