Connections: Integrate Your Calendar and Gong to Brevity

Set up Google Calendar, Outlook, and Gong so Brevity can automatically capture, transcribe, and analyze your live meetings.

What the Connections tab does

The Connections tab is where you:

  • Set up integrations with:
    • Google Calendar
    • Microsoft Outlook
    • Gong (team-wide workspace connection)
  • Control whether the Brevity Notetaker automatically joins your meetings
  • See which integrations are Active vs Available

Once your integrations are set up, your meetings will appear in the Meetings tab for analysis.

View Active vs Available connections

  1. Go to Connections in the left navigation.
  2. At the top of the page, use the filter to switch between:
    • Active connections – integrations you’ve already set up.
    • Available connections – integrations you can still add.

This helps you quickly see what’s already connected and what’s left to configure.

Connect Google Calendar

  1. Navigate to Connections.
  2. Find Google Calendar and click Set up.
  3. A Google permissions window will open:
    • Choose the Google account you use for work meetings.
    • Review the permissions requested for Brevity.
    • Click Allow to grant access.
  4. When setup is complete, you can:
    • Go to Meetings to see upcoming meetings and analysis.
    • Or return to Connections to set up additional integrations.

Once connected, Brevity can detect meetings that contain a virtual meeting link (e.g., Zoom, Teams, Google Meet) and send the Brevity Notetaker to them based on your settings.

 

Connect Microsoft Outlook

  1. Navigate to Connections.
  2. Find Microsoft Outlook and click Set up.
  3. You’ll be redirected to Microsoft’s sign-in page:
    • Sign in with your work Outlook account.
    • Follow the prompts to approve Brevity’s access to your calendar.
  4. After you approve, you can:
    • Go to Meetings to confirm your upcoming meetings are visible.
    • Or return to Connections to manage other integrations.

Once connected, Brevity will read meetings from your Outlook calendar and can send the Notetaker to meetings with a virtual meeting link.

 

Connect Gong (team-wide)

The Gong integration allows Brevity to sync recorded meetings from your Gong workspace and analyze them in the Meetings tab.

Note: Gong is typically configured at the team or organization level, not per-individual. You may need an admin to complete this setup.

  1. Go to Connections.
  2. Locate Gong and click Set up (or follow your admin’s instructions if this is centrally managed).
  3. Follow the Gong authorization flow to:
    • Sign into Gong.
    • Approve access for Brevity to your Gong workspace.
  4. Once connected:
    • Gong meetings will appear in Meetings → History.
    • You’ll be able to open them and view the full Meeting analysis just like calendar-based meetings.

In your Meetings list, Gong-sourced meetings will be clearly labeled (e.g., with a Gong pill).

Privacy for Gong integration

Brevity’s Gong integration is designed to respect your existing privacy settings:

  • Private meetings stay private – If a call is marked as private or otherwise restricted in Gong, it will not be synced into Brevity and will not be analyzed.
  • Gong sharing rules apply – Brevity only receives meetings that are visible and shareable according to your Gong workspace configuration and permissions.

Sync timing for Gong

  • Automatically syncs every 6 hours – Brevity checks Gong and imports eligible meetings roughly every 6 hours, so new calls may take some time to appear in the Meetings → History tab.
  • Manual sync from Connections – If you don’t want to wait for the next automatic sync, you can trigger a manual sync from the Connections tab on your Gong connection.

 

Control when the Brevity Notetaker joins meetings

By default, when you connect a calendar, Brevity is set to automatically join all meetings that have a virtual meeting link.

You can change this from the Connections page:

  1. Go to Connections.
  2. Under your connected calendar (Google or Outlook), locate the Brevity Notetaker setting.
  3. Use the toggle:
    • On – Brevity Notetaker will automatically join all meetings that include a meeting link.
    • Off – You will manually choose which meetings it joins from the Meetings → Dashboard.

If you prefer fine-grained control (only some meetings recorded/analyzed), turn the toggle off and manage attendance per-meeting in the Meetings tab.

 

What happens after setup

Once you’ve completed your Connections setup:

  • Your upcoming meetings will appear under Meetings → Dashboard and Meetings → Calendar.
  • Your past meetings with transcripts or Gong recordings will appear in Meetings → History.
  • Anytime the Brevity Notetaker attends a meeting (or a meeting is synced from Gong), you’ll get:
    • An individual Meeting analysis page
    • Risk and coaching insights
    • (If you’re an admin) rollups in Meetings → Team overview

For details on how to use those insights, see: Using Meeting Analysis in Brevity (Meetings Tab).

FAQs

  1. Do I need both a calendar and Gong connected? No. You can use Brevity with just a calendar connection, just Gong, or both. A calendar lets the Brevity Notetaker join live meetings; Gong imports already-recorded calls.

  2. What meetings will the Brevity Notetaker join by default? After you connect your calendar, Brevity is set to join all meetings that include a virtual meeting link. You can turn this off in Connections.

  3. Can I choose specific meetings for the Notetaker to join? Yes. Turn off auto-join in Connections, then use Meetings → Dashboard to tell Brevity which upcoming meetings to join.

  4. How do I see which integration a meeting came from? In Meetings → History, each meeting includes a label (e.g., Google Calendar, Outlook, or Gong) so you can tell the source at a glance.

  5. What permissions does Brevity need from my calendar? Brevity needs access to read your calendar events and identify which ones include a meeting link, so it can schedule and join the correct meetings.
