Migrating your Google Calendar and Contacts to Hub for Teams

Migrate your Calendar and Contacts from Google

Before you set up Calendar and Contact synchronization with Hub for Teams, you need to export existing contacts and calendars from G Suite and import them to Hub for Teams

Contact Migration

1. Log into your Google account and make sure the automatic synchronization of contacts and appointments with Google is switched On to export the data. This ensures that your data is up-to-date in the Google Cloud.

2. Open the Google Apps menu and select the Contacts entry to open the address book. In the top menu click on the Export icon then select vCard (for iOS Contacts) and click Export
   
   

3. After clicking Export a contacts.vcf file will be downloaded to your computer

4. If you wish to also export contacts of people you have emailed regularly, perform the same process for Frequent and Other contacts

5. Login to Hub for Teams and import the .vcf file by going to the Contacts app, clicking Import Contacts button at the top of the left menu. In the dialogue window, click Select local file, and open the previously saved vCard.

Calendar migration

Calendars are just as easy to export and import

1. Visit the Google website and open the Calendar app. On the left, you see all your own and subscribed calendars (My calendars). The right side displays the day, week or month views. Click on the icon with the gears to access the settings.
   

2. On the left, click Import and export. By default, all calendars are marked for export. There is no option to save only individual calendars.
   

3. Click Export and save the .zip file to the hard disk. Unpack the .zip file. It contains several .ics files (iCalendar format), one for each Google calendar.

4. Login to Hub for Teams and import the .ics files by opening the Calendar app click Calendar settings at the bottom left and then Import calendar. Select one or more .ics files you saved in the file manager.

5. After a short time, all events will appear in your Hub for Teams calendar, repeat this process for all Google calendars.
   
   

Now that everything has been imported to Hub for Teams setup your devices using our other Hub for Teams articles.
