Calendar
The Barvol Calendar view shows your schedule alongside your operational context — tasks due, goals progressing, and upcoming milestones. It is not a standalone calendar application; it is a lens on how your time connects to your company priorities.
Connecting a calendar
Calendar data comes from the Google Calendar integration. Connect it from the Integrations page to see your events in Barvol. Once connected, your events are synced in real time — changes you make in Google Calendar appear in Barvol within seconds.
Barvol reads your calendar but does not write to it. You cannot create or modify Google Calendar events from within Barvol.
Calendar views
The Calendar page offers three views:
- Day — a detailed hour-by-hour view of today. Useful for understanding how your time is structured on a given day.
- Week — the default view. Shows 7 days with events overlaid alongside task due dates and goal milestones as markers at the top of the column.
- Month — a high-level overview. Events appear as dots with a tooltip on hover.
Task and milestone overlays
Tasks with due dates and goal milestones appear as colored markers on the calendar. Tasks appear in blue, milestones in orange. This makes it easy to see how your meeting-heavy days align with upcoming deadlines — and spot when you have scheduled meetings on the same day a milestone is due.
Click any marker to open the task or milestone detail without leaving the calendar view.
Meeting context
When you click a calendar event, Barvol shows a context panel alongside the event details. This panel includes:
- Related contacts — if any attendees match contacts in your CRM, they are linked here with their company, deal stage, and last interaction date.
- Recent feedback — any feedback logged from this contact in the last 90 days.
- Open tasks — tasks assigned to you that are related to this contact or company.
This panel is most useful before a customer call — it gives you a 30-second brief on the relationship without opening multiple tools.
Time allocation analysis
The Insights tab on the Calendar page shows a breakdown of how your meeting time is allocated — internal vs. customer-facing, deep work vs. meetings, scheduled vs. actual. This is generated from event metadata (title, attendees, duration) and gives you a weekly view of where your time is going.
The AI can also answer questions like "How much of my time this month was spent in customer calls?" from the Ask Barvol chat.
