## How calendar sync works

### Initial sync

On first connection, Crono:

-   Syncs events **from that moment forward**
    
-   Imports events up to **365 days in the future**
    
-   Does **NOT import past events**
    

This process runs in the background and usually takes **less than 1 minute**, but it may take up to **~5 minutes** if you have:

-   Outlook as provider
    
-   Large number of calendar events
    

### Ongoing sync

After the initial sync:

-   New meetings and updates are synced in **real time**
    

* * *

## Meeting import rules

Crono only imports meetings that meet the following conditions:

-   At least **one attendee matches a known prospect** in Crono (by **email**): meetings not related to known prospects are ignored
    
-   The **calendar owner is not considered** for matching: only the other attendees are used to determine if a meeting should be imported
    
-   All other attendees (including the organizer, if they are a prospect) are matched normally
    
-   Recurring events are **ignored**
    
-   If an event is deleted from the calendar, it is also removed from Crono
    
-   Disconnecting or deleting a calendar **does not delete existing events**, it only stops sync
    
-   If the calendar password changes, the connection is invalidated and must be re-authenticated
    

* * *

### How meetings are assigned

-   Each meeting is linked to **one prospect and one company**
    
-   If multiple attendees match prospects:
    
    -   Crono assigns the meeting to the **first matched prospect**
        
    -   That prospect (and their company) becomes the **primary owner of the meeting**
        

### Important behavior for multi-attendee meetings

When multiple attendees are all prospects in Crono:

-   Only for the **primary (first matched) prospect** you will see the meeting in their Contact Activities panel
    
-   For other attending prospects you **will NOT see the meeting** in their own Contact view

If you need to find a meeting involving a secondary attendee, the best place to look is the **Company Activities tab**, since the meeting will always appear there as long as they share the same company

-   Other attendee emails are still stored within the meeting data

## Where meetings appear in Crono

Meetings are visible in the following sections (following the rules specified before in the article):

-   **Company card → Activities tab (A)**
    
-   **Contact card → Activities panel (B)**

Clicking on a meeting opens the **detail view**, where you can perform several actions depending on your role in the meeting:

-   **Join** the meeting directly
    
-   **Reschedule** it
    
-   **Delete** it

## CRM sync

Meetings synced from the **CRM** follow the same matching and visibility rules described above.

However, compared to meetings imported directly from Calendar integrations:

-   They may include fewer details
    
-   The meeting detail view is read-only
    
-   Actions such as joining, rescheduling, or deleting the meeting are not available
    
-   You can still click the meeting to open it directly in the CRM system where it was created
