Introduction

DuckyHelper works in whatever is on your screen, so it uses the Google Calendar account you have open, the same way you would. If you have more than one Google Calendar account, for work and personal use or for different clients, there is nothing to connect: keep each account where you can tell which is which, and tell DuckyHelper which one you mean.

This guide shows how to set that up so it works in the right account every time.

What you'll end up with

  • Each Google Calendar account open in its own window, browser profile or app
  • A clear way to tell DuckyHelper which account to use
  • Jobs that run in the right account, with DuckyHelper built to ask before anything is sent or paid for

Before you start

  • DuckyHelper on your Mac, Windows or Linux computer (download it; try it for 10 minutes, no card)
  • Access to each Google Calendar account you want to use

DuckyHelper is built not to type your passwords or card numbers for you, so you sign in to each Google Calendar account yourself.

Use multiple Google Calendar accounts with DuckyHelper

Step 1: Open each account in its own window

Sign in to your first Google Calendar account. Open the second one in a separate window: another browser profile, a private window, or the Google Calendar app if there is one.

Step 2: Make the windows easy to tell apart

Keep the account's name or email where you can see it, such as the profile name in your browser. DuckyHelper sees your screen, so it reads the same thing you do.

Step 3: Ask in the window you mean

Click into the right window, press fn on a Mac (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud. DuckyHelper answers about what is on your screen and can draw on it to show you.

Step 4: Hand that window the job (early access)

Drag the orb onto the window of the account you want and say what you want done. It works in that window with its own cursor while you keep using yours, and is built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything.

Make account selection more reliable

Say the account out loud when it matters, for example:

In my work Google Calendar account, ...

Keep only the window you mean in front when you start a job, and check which account is open before you say yes to a send.

Troubleshooting

Why did DuckyHelper work in the wrong Google Calendar account?

It works in the window you point it at. Drag the orb onto the window of the Google Calendar account you mean, or click into that window before you press the key, and say the account name in your request.

Why doesn't DuckyHelper sign in to my second Google Calendar account?

It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers for you. Sign in to each account yourself, then hand it the job.

Why don't I see Drag the orb?

Drag the orb is in early access on Mac. On Windows and Linux, press Ctrl+Shift+Space and ask, and it walks you through the job on your screen.

Do I have to keep my Google Calendar accounts connected to DuckyHelper?

There is nothing to connect. DuckyHelper uses Google Calendar on your screen, the way you do, so signing out of an account in your browser or app is all it takes to stop using it.
