Google Meet Integration Documentation
Overview
Tiveko allows event organizers to connect their Google account to create Google Meet meetings from the admin panel and automatically send access links to online ticket buyers.
Prerequisites
- A Tiveko account with an Admin or Organizer role
- A Google account (personal or Workspace)
- At least one event created with Online or Hybrid modality
Connect Your Google Account
- Log in to Tiveko and go to Settings > Google Meet
- Click Connect with Google
- You will be redirected to Google to authorize access
- Accept the requested permissions
- You will be redirected back to Tiveko with a confirmation message
Once connected, you can enable or disable the integration without disconnecting it using the toggle on the Google Meet page.
Create a Google Meet Meeting
- Go to your event detail page
- In the dates section, locate a date with Online or Hybrid modality
- Click the Google Meet button next to the date
- The meeting is automatically created in your Google Calendar and linked to the event date
- The details (Meet link, Calendar event) are saved automatically
From the same Google Meet button you can:
- Copy the link to share it
- Open the meeting directly in Google Meet
- Delete the meeting if you need to recreate it
Access Link in the Confirmation Email
When an attendee purchases an online ticket, the Google Meet link is automatically included in the purchase confirmation email. You do not need to send the link manually.
Attendees in Google Calendar
When an attendee purchases an online ticket with Google Meet enabled, they are automatically added as a participant to the Google Calendar event. This allows the attendee to see the meeting in their own calendar.
Link on the Ticket Page
The Google Meet link also appears on the attendee's digital ticket page, accessible via the QR code or the link in the confirmation email.
Differences from Zoom
| Feature | Google Meet | Zoom |
|---|---|---|
| Session type | Meeting | Meeting or Webinar |
| Attendance tracking | No | Yes (automatic) |
| Adds attendees to calendar | Yes | No |
| Requires additional license | No | Webinars yes |
Google Meet does not offer a participants API, so automatic attendance tracking is not available.
Restrictions
- You cannot use Google Meet and Zoom on the same date. If a date already has a Zoom meeting, you cannot create a Google Meet meeting and vice versa.
- Google Meet is only available on dates with Online or Hybrid modality.
Disconnect Google
- Go to Settings > Google Meet
- Click Disconnect
- The stored access tokens will be deleted
- Linked meetings will continue to exist in Google Calendar, but you will not be able to create new ones from the platform
Only the organization owner can disconnect the integration.
Requested Permissions
Tiveko requests the following Google permissions:
| Permission | Use |
|---|---|
calendar.events | Create and manage Google Calendar events with Meet link |
userinfo.email | Identify the connected Google account |
