Getting Started

Set up Next Up with a work (Google Workspace) account

Work and school accounts follow the same three steps as a personal account, but your organisation's settings decide some of the choices. Download the Workspace version of Next Up, which has instructions written for them.

Download the Workspace version

Download Next Up for Google Workspace accounts (next_up_workspace.html), save it somewhere it can stay, double-click it to open it in Chrome, and click Start setup. Make sure Chrome is signed in to your work account. If you also use a personal account in Chrome, a Chrome profile with only your work account avoids Google picking the wrong one.

Create the script in your work account

Follow step 1 on the page: copy the script, paste it into a new Apps Script project opened in your work account, save, and choose Deploy → New deployment → Web app with Execute as: Me.

Choosing "Who has access"

Your organisation decides which choices you see:

  • Anyone, if it's listed. This works in every browser. Your calendar stays private because the script only answers requests that carry your personal key.
  • Otherwise, Anyone within your organisation. This works in Chrome while you're signed in to your work account, but relies on Google's sign-in cookies — see the next section.

If your browser blocks third-party cookies

With "Anyone within your organisation" (or "Only myself"), Next Up can't load your calendars if the browser blocks third-party cookies. In Chrome, go to Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → Allowed to use third-party cookies and add [*.]google.com.

Warning screens and blocked apps

Scripts made inside your organisation often skip Google's warning screen. If you see "Google hasn't verified this app", click Advanced → Go to Next Up bridge (unsafe). If you see "This app is blocked", or Deploy is greyed out, your Google Workspace admin restricts Apps Script — ask your IT team to allow it for your account.

Connect and pick calendars

Work Web app URLs usually look like https://script.google.com/a/macros/yourcompany.com/s/…/exec. Paste it into step 2, click Get my key, paste the key, then load and tick your calendars in step 3 and click Save.
