Sync Google Calendar meetings to your boxes

Past and upcoming Google Calendar events appear on the right box automatically, with Events columns to sort your pipeline by meeting activity.

Written by Andrew Stewart

Streak connects to Google Calendar and adds meetings to the box for each matching contact. Meetings appear in the box automatically, so no one has to log calls by hand. Gemini transcriptions and recordings are included, and you can edit the event or take notes on it in Streak
​

Google Calendar works with Streak on all plans with no setup.

How to add Google Calendar events to a box

Events appear on a box when both of these are true:

  1. The box contains a contact or organization for someone who was invited to the meeting. → Add contacts and organizations to your pipelines

  2. 'Include all emails and events' is turned on for that contact or organization. (This setting was called "Include all emails" before.) → Include all emails with a contact

Streak automatically finds all past and upcoming meetings with that contact and keeps them up to date as they change in Google Calendar.

What Google Calendar events look like in the box timeline

Google Calendar events show up in the box timeline alongside your emails, comments, and call logs..

  • Past meetings show as part of the box's history.

  • Upcoming meetings show what's next. When a meeting is about to start, it moves to the top of the timeline, highlighted in blue, with a button to start a meeting note.

  • Recurring meetings show only the next occurrence, so a weekly call doesn't fill the timeline with dozens of entries.

  • Attachments from Google Calendar come with the event, including Gemini notes, Google Meet recordings, and transcripts. Any meeting notes you take in Streak around the time of the event are linked from it as well.

  • Calendar invite emails are hidden. You no longer see the invite, accept, and decline emails as separate threads. You see the event instead.


Google Calendar event actions

Open the menu on any event in the timeline to:

  • Take notes: start a meeting note linked to the event.

  • View in calendar: open the event in Google Calendar. If the event is on a teammate's calendar, this works only if you have access to that calendar.

  • Mark as no show: use this when the meeting didn't happen. The event stays in the timeline, but no longer counts toward the Events columns or Date of last interaction.

  • Remove from box: take the event off this box.


Events columns

Four magic columns enable sorting and filtering in a pipeline by Google meeting activity:

  • Number of events: total meetings on the box

  • First event date: when you first met

  • Last event date: when you last met

  • Next event date: the next scheduled meeting

Google Calendar events also count toward the Date of last interaction column (except events marked as a "no show").
​

To add one, open the menu for adding a column to your pipeline, hover over Events, and choose the column you want.
​

Try this:

  • Sort by Last event date to find deals that have gone quiet.

  • Sort by Next event date to see the week ahead.

  • Filter for Number of events = 0 to find boxes where no meeting has happened yet.


Privacy and visibility

  • Events from your team: Streak brings in events from any teammate with access to the pipeline, so a manager can see meetings a rep ran.

  • Private events stay private: Streak follows your Google Calendar visibility settings and only shows events that are visible to your organization. Events marked private aren't shown.


FAQ

Why aren't my meetings showing up on a box?
Check that the box has a contact who was invited to the meeting, and that Include all emails and events is on for that contact. Also check the event's visibility in Google Calendar: private events aren't shown.

Can I see meetings that a teammate set up?
Yes. Events from any teammate with access to the pipeline appear on the box. To open one in Google Calendar, you need access to that teammate's calendar.

What happens when I mark an event as a no show?
It stays in the box timeline so you keep the history, but it no longer counts toward the Events columns or Date of last interaction.

Why do I only see one entry for a recurring meeting?
For recurring meetings, Streak shows only the next occurrence to keep the timeline readable.

Where did the calendar invite emails go?
Streak hides invite emails from the box view now that the calendar event itself is in the timeline.
