When you set up a new organization in Bloom Growth, your first meeting is your Leadership Team meeting. You can build it by hand, or you can import it — along with your other recurring meetings — straight from your Google or Microsoft calendar. Bloom Growth creates each meeting for you and invites the people who were already on the calendar invitation. ***Note:** This is a one-time import that runs during setup. It is not an ongoing calendar sync, and changes you make later in your calendar are not carried over to Bloom Growth.* #### **Step 1: Choose to import instead of building manually** On the **New meeting** screen headed **Create or import your Leadership Team meeting**, you are offered two cards (**Create manually** is selected when the screen opens): - **Create manually** — best if you're starting fresh or the meeting isn't on your calendar yet. You'll name it and add your team. - **Import from calendar** — best if your leadership team already meets on a recurring invite. Bloom Growth finds it and brings over the attendees. 1. Click the **Import from calendar** card. 2. Click **Continue**. #### **Step 2: Choose your calendar** The next screen is headed **Import from your calendar** and asks **Which calendar would you like to import from?** 1. Select **Google** to import from your Google Workspace account, or **Microsoft** to import from your Outlook or Office 365 account. 2. Click **Continue**. 3. Sign in to your calendar provider and allow Bloom Growth access when prompted. Use **Back** at any point to return to the previous screen. #### **Step 3: Choose which meetings to import** Once your calendar is connected you land on **Choose meetings to import**, which lists the **recurring** meetings it found, each with its attendee count. One-off calendar events are not offered. 1. Tick each meeting you want in Bloom Growth. 2. Click **Continue with 3 meetings** at the bottom right — the number updates as you select. If the screen reads **No recurring meetings were found in your calendar.**, there is nothing to import from that account; click **Create meeting manually** to build your leadership meeting by hand instead. #### **Step 4: Say what kind of meeting each one is** The screen headed **Configure your imported meetings** asks you to review each meeting before it is created. Its instructions read: *Review the meeting type and attendees of your imported meetings before we create them. At least one leadership meeting is required for new organizations.* Each meeting gets its own card with a **Meeting name** (taken from your calendar and not editable here) and one required **Meeting type** dropdown. Choosing the type also sets that meeting’s agenda, so there is only one question to answer: - **Leadership team meeting** — for your leadership team. The default agenda includes check-in, goals, metrics, headlines, to-dos, issues and wrap-up sections. - **Weekly meeting** — the default agenda includes check-in, goals, metrics, headlines, to-dos, issues and wrap-up sections. - **1:1 meeting** — the default agenda includes check-in, to-dos, issues and wrap-up sections. 1. Open the **Meeting type** dropdown on each card. You can type to filter it — the placeholder reads **Start typing or select from dropdown**. 2. Mark exactly one of your meetings as **Leadership team meeting**. The first meeting in the list is set to it by default, and the rest default to **Weekly meeting**. 3. Click **Review and confirm**. ***Note:** If no meeting is marked as a leadership team meeting, the field shows the error **One leadership meeting required** and you cannot continue. A new organization must have one.* #### **What happens to the people on the invitation** Under **Attendees** on each card, Bloom Growth lists everyone from the calendar event, split into **Existing users** and **New users**. As the screen explains: *All attendees from the calendar event are included. Any attendees without a Bloom account will be invited to your organization by email.* You do not choose attendees here — everyone on the calendar invitation comes across, and anyone who does not yet have a Bloom Growth account is emailed an invitation to join your organization. #### **Step 5: Confirm and create** The **Confirm meeting creation** screen is your last check. It summarises what is about to happen — for example *Review 3 imported meetings and 5 new users* — and lists them under **Meetings** and **New users**. 1. Read through the list. 2. Click **Back** if you need to change a meeting type, or **Create meetings** to finish. When it is done you land on **Your meetings have been imported**, which confirms how many meetings were created and how many new users were added, and shows each one with a **Meeting created** or **Invite sent** badge. Click **Go home** to go to your workspace. ***Note:** If one of the meetings already existed in Bloom Growth, the screen tells you so — **1 meeting already existed and was skipped.** — and creates the rest.* #### **If something goes wrong** **Your IT admin needs to approve Bloom** — your organization requires an administrator to approve third-party apps before they can read your calendar. Use **Copy link** on that screen to send the approval link to your IT admin, then come back and try again. **Unable to connect your calendar** — the connection did not complete. Click **Retry connection** to try again, or **Create manually** to build your leadership meeting by hand instead. **Import partially complete — action needed** — some meetings were created and some were not. The screen groups them under **New meetings**, **Invited users** and **Failed imports**, with a **Failed** badge on the ones that did not work. Click **Retry failed imports** to try those again, or **Continue with successful imports** to keep what worked and move on. You can always fall back to building a meeting by hand: every one of these screens offers a **Create manually** route, and it is the same form you will use to add meetings later on. - [FAQs](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Getting started](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Meetings](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/meetings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Edit meeting section](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/meetings?hsLang=en#edit-meeting-section) - [Meeting Management](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/meetings?hsLang=en#meeting-management) - [Issues](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/meetings?hsLang=en#issues) - [User Management](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/user-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [User Profile](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/user-management?hsLang=en#user-profile) - [Permissions](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/user-management?hsLang=en#permissions) - [Metrics](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/metrics?hsLang=en) - [Docs and Whiteboard](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/docs-and-whiteboard?hsLang=en) - [Business Plan](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/business-plan?hsLang=en) - [To Do List](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/to-do-list?hsLang=en) - [Org chart](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/org-chart?hsLang=en) - [Training](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/training?hsLang=en) - [Goals](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/goals?hsLang=en) - [Experimental Features](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/experimental-features?hsLang=en) - [Workspace](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/workspace?hsLang=en) - [Manage Organization](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/manage-organization?hsLang=en) - [Coach Partners](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/coach-partners?hsLang=en) - [Integrations](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/integrations?hsLang=en) [![bloomgrowth-rgb-logo](https://help.bloomgrowth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bloomgrowth-rgb-logo.png?width=267&height=48&name=bloomgrowth-rgb-logo.png "bloomgrowth-rgb-logo")](https://www.bloomgrowth.com) © 2026 Winter International LLC.
