How do I link my Google Calendar to Alexa

1. Open the Alexa App: Start by opening the Alexa app on your mobile device. This app is available for both iOS and Android.

2. Navigate to Settings: Tap on the "More" option, which is typically located at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will open a menu where you can select "Settings."

3. Access Calendar Settings: Scroll down in the Settings menu and tap on "Calendar." This section allows you to manage and connect different calendar accounts to Alexa.

4. Add a Google Calendar Account: Tap on "Add Account" and then select "Google Calendar" from the list of available options. You will be prompted to allow Alexa to access your Google account.

5. Authorize Access: You will be redirected to a Google authorization page where you need to select the Google account you want to link. Tap on "Allow" to grant Amazon Alexa permission to access your Google Calendar.

6. Select Your Calendar: Once authorized, you will be asked to select which Google Calendar you want to use with Alexa. Choose the calendar you wish to link and confirm it as your default calendar.

7. Set Up Family Calendar (Optional): You may be asked to set a family calendar. If you don't want to use your Google Calendar for this, you can keep it set to the Alexa calendar.

8. Enable Event Announcements (Optional): You can choose to enable announcements for upcoming events. This allows Alexa to notify you about upcoming appointments or events.

9. Finalize the Setup: After completing these steps, your Google Calendar should be linked to Alexa. You can now use voice commands to manage your calendar, such as checking your schedule or adding new events.

Using Voice Commands with Alexa

After linking your Google Calendar, you can use various voice commands to interact with your calendar:

- "Alexa, what's on my calendar?" - This command will tell you about upcoming events.
- ["Alexa, add [event name] to my calendar for date/time]." - This allows you to create new events.
- ["Alexa, cancel my event name] event." - You can use this to cancel events.

These commands help you manage your schedule more efficiently using Alexa.
