Families live in their message threads, yet most calendars still demand dedicated apps. Today we are excited to announce Google Calendar integration for TextConcierge, bringing the calendar your family already trusts straight into your SMS conversations.

Why This Matters​

  • Instant answers: Text “What’s on our calendar tonight?” and get a concise response without opening an app.
  • Inclusive by design: Loop in grandparents, caregivers, and kids who cannot or will not install the Google Calendar app.
  • Optionally write back: Keep your Google calendar spotless by letting TextConcierge add or update events when you give the go-ahead.
  • Daily summaries that stick: Schedule a quick SMS recap so the whole family knows what’s next.

What You Can Do​

TextConcierge speaks plain language, so anything you can text you can organize:

“Add soccer practice Saturday 3-4pm for Alex.”
“Move Emma’s recital from 6pm to 7pm.”
“Send me the weekend summary.”
“Cancel the Tuesday carpool event.”

Setup: Three Simple Steps​

  1. Connect once: Head to Settings and tap “Connect Google.” Follow the secure Google prompt to approve access.
  2. Pick your permissions: Stay read-only or enable write access if you want TextConcierge to add and edit calendar entries for you.
  3. Start texting: Ask what’s coming up, add new plans, or tweak times. We will sync with Google and keep every family member informed via SMS.

Built for Real Families​

  • Works even if only one person has a Google account—everyone else receives updates through SMS.
  • Respects your privacy: revoke access anytime from Google or inside TextConcierge.
  • Keeps your family group text focused—no juggling apps, no missed invites.
