# Connected email and calendar

> Connect Google or Microsoft accounts for personal email and calendar sync.

Each teammate can connect their own Google or Microsoft account from **Settings → Connected channels**. Connected accounts sync mail and calendar context for that user.

## Connect Google

1. Go to **Settings → Connected channels**.
2. In the **Google** section, click **Connect Google**.
3. Continue through the authorization flow.
4. Return to Clearline and confirm the account shows **Connected**.

## Connect Microsoft

1. Go to **Settings → Connected channels**.
2. In the **Microsoft** section, click **Connect Outlook**.
3. Continue through the authorization flow.
4. Return to Clearline and confirm the account shows **Connected**.

## Sync settings

Open **Manage account** to configure:

* Contact creation behavior
* Whether personal email domains are blocked
* How far back to backsync
* Email visibility
* Domains and email addresses Clearline should not track

## Account statuses

| Status        | Meaning                      |
| ------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **Connected** | Sync is active.              |
| **Error**     | The account needs attention. |
| **Expired**   | Reconnect to resume syncing. |

<Warning>
  If an account is expired or in error, reconnect it before relying on calendar availability or email sync for that user.
