How do I add Google resources as locations in BusyCal?
Using the Room Picker (Recommended)
If your organization uses Google Workspace and your admin has configured conference room resources, BusyCal can show them directly in the Info Panel via a dedicated Rooms picker. You can browse rooms by building, see live availability for the event's time window, and add rooms with a single click. See Using BusyCal with Google — Meeting Rooms for details.
Adding a Resource as an Attendee
For resources that do not appear in the room picker, or if your account does not support this feature, you can still add any Google resource to an event as an attendee. To do that, you'll need the email address for the Google resource. Here's what to do:
-
In BusyCal, double-click on the Google resource calendar that appears in the left sidebar to open the calendar info dialog.
-
The Description field will display a long email address. Copy it to your clipboard and close the Calendar Info dialog.
-
Launch Apple Contacts (or BusyContacts) and create a new contact with the name you want to use for that resource, and paste the email address from your clipboard to the email field.
Now, in BusyCal, when you want to schedule that resource, just add it as an attendee by typing in the name of the contact you created in step 3.
