If you setup the active sync server go for the exchange active sync feature. That should set you up with account linked with the calendar. That ought to do the trick.

We haven’t setup the server for our organization to use active sync.

Hey @werner,
Welcome to the Hexnode community.

You can remotely configure Google account on iOS devices with Hexnode UEM to sync data between the Google account and Calendar app. To set up the Google account, navigate to Policies > New Policy > provide appropriate policy name > iOS > Accounts > Google Accounts. Then, click Configure > Add account, provide a suitable account description and name. The Email Address field supports the use of wildcards, use %username% to dynamically fetch the email address of the user. Optionally, you can provide an audio call app.

The administrator can then add events in the Calendar app with the appropriate students as invitees, which will appear on the students’ devices. After successful authentication, the Google account will sync the Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Notes app on your iOS device. Note that Google accounts can be configured only on supervised iOS devices running iOS 9.3 and later.

Hope this clears up your query.
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply.
One more small doubt, if the account is configured on the device and we install google apps like classroom, drive etc. Will that automatically sign in to these apps with the g account. Or is there any additional setting I have to check.

I dont think it coukd do that, we still need to manually sign in to each and every app. I tried this on my iphone, had to login to drive and sheets even after I set up an google acc.

As johan mentioned, the account just syncs the 4 apps and nothing outside it. The users will have to sign in manually for other apps.
