Google Calendar

1. Open Settings → Calendars and press Connect Google Calendar.
2. Pick your Google account and allow Hestia to see your calendars and add events. Google may warn that the app is not verified yet; that check is under way.
3. Back in Settings, tick the calendars to show on the wall. Calendars other people share with you appear in the list too.
4. Under New events from the wall, choose the calendar that events added on the wall go into. Press Save calendars.

Anyone at the wall can now tap a day to add an event, and it appears in Google Calendar. Changes made in Google show on the wall within a few minutes; Refresh now fetches them at once.

A partner's calendar: have them share it with your Google account (Google Calendar → the calendar → Settings and sharing → Share with specific people), then tick it in Settings.
