Google Calendar
The Google Calendar integration is a new capability that improves upon current Google Suite users who may be using the existing Google Meet integration.
With a Calendar integration, FireHydrant can create Google Meet bridges and invite the FireHydrant AI Copilot to join the meeting, scribe the conversation, and use the transcript as context for any contextual tasks like providing summaries and answers to prompts.

Prerequisites
- You'll need Owner permissions in FireHydrant to configure integrations
- You'll need a generic service account/user with administrative privileges in your Google Workspace.
- FireHydrant recommends using a generic Google service account or user rather than an individual named user - this prevents problems if the named employee were to depart the organization
