How to connect your Google Calendar to Distill for Meetings

Connecting your Google Calendar makes it easier to prepare for every meeting. With a simple one-click setup, you’ll unlock powerful features that save you time and help you build stronger relationships. You’ll get:

  • Instant meeting briefs each morning - we’ll provide a personalized digest of who you’re meeting with (See: Morning briefs).
  • One-click connect (Calendar + LinkedIn) - connect your Google Calendar and LinkedIn to import your events and your network.
  • Personalized ice breakers - We will auto-suggest intros based on shared schools, employers, and mutual connections.

Where can I see meetings?

You can access your Google Calendar meetings on your dashboard. Alternatively, you can view all your meetings in more detail on the Meetings tab. We’ll include details on:

  • The meeting name
  • Time and date of the meeting
  • Name, email, title, and location of the participants
  • Meeting attendees’ company profile

Email not tied to a Distill profile? You can help us fix that.

You can help us map email addresses we’re unsure of by searching for them in our database or providing additional details. Mapping an email to a Distill profile is a one-time process that will also apply to other Distill users. Here’s how to resolve email addresses not tied to a profile:

  1. Click on the email entry. This can be in your dashboard meetings or on a List.
  1. A sidebar will open from the right with the email address showing.
  1. Search for their full name and company name.
  1. Or, use an existing Distill profile URL or a LinkedIn profile URL to map the person and help identify them.
  1. The email will be updated with the relevant Distill profile for viewing.
