Personal vs. Team — Which Plan Do I Need?
TL;DR: Google Calendar Integration Plus has two sync types — Personal (your calendar ↔ one board, available on every plan) and Team (several team members' calendars from one board, Advanced plan or higher). Same app, same sync engine — Team unlocks when you upgrade. A board can use one type at a time, not both.
Google Calendar Integration Plus supports two sync types. You pick one each time you click Create New Sync. Both use the same sync engine — your plan determines which types are available.

Personal sync (every plan)
Connect one Google Calendar to a monday.com board. Every event syncs to this calendar only. Available on every plan.
Use this when:
- Only one person needs calendar sync on this board
- You want to manage your own meetings, tasks, or deadlines in your calendar
- Each team member sets up their own board independently
Team sync (Advanced plan or higher)
Manage all your team's calendars in one place with a single, one-time setup. Automatically create, update, transfer, and assign events across all your team members' Google Calendars — no manual work per person. Available on the Advanced, Professional and Enterprise plans.
Use this when:
- Multiple team members need events in their own calendars from the same board
- You want events automatically assigned to the right person based on the People column
- You want centralized management — one setup, whole team covered
How it works:
Open Connect Multiple Calendars in the app and invite your team members
Each team member connects their Google account once. Their status shows Connected, Not Connected or Needs Reauth
Create one Team sync — it handles the entire team
Events are automatically created in the assigned person's Google Calendar based on the People column — if the assignment changes, the event moves to the new person's calendar
Team sync is built into Google Calendar Integration Plus. No separate app needed — upgrade to the Advanced plan or higher to unlock it.
Can I Switch Between Personal and Team?
Yes. Personal sync is available on every plan. When you upgrade to Advanced or higher, Team sync unlocks automatically — no reinstall needed. You can use Personal on some boards and Team on others within the same account, but not both on the same board. If a board has an active Personal sync, Team is greyed out with the message "Personal sync(s) are active on this board. Remove them to use team sync." Delete the Personal sync from My Syncs first, then create the Team sync.
