FAQ

Why am I being asked to authorize access more than once?

You may need to authenticate from the add-on panel to the right side of Google Calendar in addition to within the calendar invite to authorize the integration for both Google and Lucid. Once you have successfully granted access, you will not be asked again even if you switch to a different Lucid account.
