# Calendar Migrations with Movebot

## Introduction

Movebot takes an unusual approach to calendar migrations, using the same mechanics of storage migrations for mail, calendar, and contacts. Because of this, we recommend that you read through [Data Migrations with Movebot](/features/data-migrations-with-movebot.md) as a precursor to reading this. 

#### **Supported Systems:**

* [Google Workspaces Gmail](/connections/google-workspaces-gmail.md)
* [Outlook Online (Office 365) EWS](/connections/outlook-online-office-365-ews.md)
* [Exchange Server](/connections/exchange-server.md)

## Quick Start Guide

Because transferring or migrating calendar data uses the same process as emails and contacts, simply follow the existing guide for [Mail Migrations](/features/mail-migrations-with-movebot.md).

### Enable Calendar Migration

1. Navigate to your Movebot project.
2. Go to Settings → Options.
3. Enable checkbox for "**Include Calendars**"

### Configure Attendee Mappings

Attendee Mappings define how attendee email addresses should be rewritten and ensure that destination calendar events correctly reflect the intended participants.\
\
Configuring Attendee Mappings is a required part of calendar migrations.\
\
Once calendar migration is enabled, you will see the option to configure Attendee Mappings as an additional step in your project settings.

**Mapping Examples:**

| Scenario                           | Source Mapping            | Destination Mapping   |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------- |
| Same Domain and Username           | \*@domain.com             | \*@domain.com         |
| Domain Change (Username Unchanged) | \*@old-domain.com         | \*@new-domain.com     |
| Domain and Username Change         | <john.doe@old-domain.com> | <jdoe@new-domain.com> |
