Workstream now automatically syncs all-day events from your Google Calendar, so your availability is always up to date. Only events marked as “Busy” or “Out of Office” will block interview times—events marked as “Free” won’t affect your availability, allowing applicants to book during those slots.
By connecting your Google Calendar with Workstream, you can view all your schedules in one place.
📌 You can connect multiple calendars at once, allowing you to link both your Outlook Calendar and Google Calendar. This ensures that interviews will only be scheduled when you're truly available, helping to avoid conflicts.

When you turn on Conflict Avoidance, applicants can’t schedule interviews on your time slots
If you already have a scheduled time slot, and something is scheduled on Google Calendar, the event and time slot will still be there and active
If applicants can still schedule interviews on blocked days in your Google Calendar, it's because you need to set a specific start and end time for those blocks
