See your meetings for the coming days
The Calendar Assistant shows the title, time, location and external attendees from Google Calendar, without you having to switch between tabs.
Google Calendar integrationConnect Google Calendar and send a brochure before every meeting
Slim Folderen connects to Google Calendar with read-only access. Upcoming meetings appear in the Calendar Assistant. You choose an A4 brochure for each attendee and confirm the shipment manually: nothing is ever posted automatically.
Ideal for sales teams, estate agents and consultants: the brochure is on the doormat before you walk in. Print on demand, from 1 copy, via PostNL.

What you can do with Google Calendar in Slim Folderen
Google Calendar is not an automatic mailing machine. It gives you an overview of your meetings, so you can send an A4 brochure by post at the right moment, deliberately.
Send a brochure before the pitch
Choose the attendee, choose the A4 brochure and confirm. We print it and PostNL delivers it: within the Netherlands, on the doormat within 2 working days.
Avoid duplicate post
The system flags whether you have already sent this person a brochure. Green = ready, orange = address missing, grey = already sent.
Stay in control of every shipment
No automatic trigger from Google Calendar. You tick the box yourself to say you want to send now. That keeps your budget and your brand safe.
How to connect Google Calendar
Three steps: sign in with Google, read your calendar, send a brochure deliberately.
- 01
Connect Google Calendar
After signing up, open “Integraties” (integrations) or the Calendar Assistant and click “Koppel Google Calendar” (connect Google Calendar). You are taken to Google to choose the account that holds your business meetings.
- 02
Grant read-only access
Slim Folderen asks for read access to your calendar and your email address. Your password is never stored. Meetings are not changed.
- 03
Confirm per attendee
Your dashboard shows upcoming meetings. For each external attendee, you choose a brochure, tick the confirmation box and click “Bevestig en verstuur” (confirm and send).
Every brochure needs a deliberate confirmation
You choose the brochure, tick that you want to send it now, and only then do we print. That way Google Calendar stays a source of meetings, not an automatic direct mail trigger.
- Read-only access to your calendar: no creating, changing or deleting meetings.
- Brochures are never sent automatically. Every shipment needs your explicit confirmation.
- Tokens are stored encrypted. You can disconnect the integration at any time.
- No access to your email content, Drive/OneDrive or contacts beyond the permissions requested.
This is what the confirmation looks like on your screen: without the tick, no mail goes out.
When Google Calendar and physical post work together
A brochure before a sales pitch
The prospect has already read your A4 company brochure when you arrive. That makes the meeting more concrete than a PDF in their inbox.

A property brochure before a viewing
Estate agents connect Google Calendar and send the latest property brochure to people booked for a viewing: print on demand, no out-of-date stack in the car.

Follow-up after a meeting
A physical summary or proposal brochure straight after the meeting (or deliberately a day later). No spam, but top of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Google Calendar
How do I connect Google Calendar to Slim Folderen?
Sign up, open the Calendar Assistant or “Integraties” (integrations), click “Koppel Google Calendar” (connect Google Calendar) and grant read-only access. Your upcoming meetings then appear on your dashboard.
Does Slim Folderen send a brochure automatically from Google Calendar?
No. Google Calendar is only read. You choose a brochure for each attendee and confirm explicitly. Without that confirmation, no post is sent.
Can Slim Folderen change my Google Calendar?
No. We only ask for read access (viewing meetings). No events are created, moved or deleted.

What if an attendee's address is missing?
The status turns orange (address unknown). You enter the address manually and can then still send the brochure. Green means ready to send; grey means already sent.
