By default, Calendar Sync cannot be enabled for your Salesforce Sandbox. This is to prevent Sandbox testing data from corrupting your live Google Calendar, since Calendar Sync is a bi-directional process.

Our recommendation is to test Calendar Sync in a new Salesforce Developer environment; that way you can control exactly what data is synced. To create a free Developer license, please go to [developer.salesforce.com/signup](https://developer.salesforce.com/signup)

- **Note**: Salesforce Developer orgs limit the daily API requests to 15,000 per day. If you have a lot of other automated processes running in your dev org already, you may want to create a new instance.

If testing in your Sandbox is required, please review the following steps to work around the default setting:

1. Visit Cirrus Insight support diagnostics: [https://secure3.cirrusinsight.com/connectLogin](https://secure3.cirrusinsight.com/connectLogin)

2. Click the **Sign In to Salesforce** button

Note: If you don't see the red “SANDBOX USER” text, you are not signed in with your Sandbox account. Click the **Sign Out** button, close the resulting new tab/window that opens, and reload the support diagnostics page.

3. From the sign-in window that pops up, click the **Sandbox** button and enter your credentials

4. Click the **Sign In to Google** button

If you have more than one Google account, be sure to select the account you want to test with.

5. Click the **Allow** button to grant Cirrus Insight the necessary permissions

6. Select **Contact Support** at the top of this article to create a case with our Support Team

We will confirm that these steps have been completed before manually starting your Calendar Sync process.
