# Calendar Background Jobs

> Jane changes an installment payment date.

## Real-World Example

Jane changes an installment payment date. The portal updates the internal schedule immediately and then dispatches a background job so Google or Microsoft Calendar receives the same date change.

## How It Should Work

* It should create, update, delete, or change amounts on external events when live sync is enabled.
* It should keep the internal schedule as the source of truth.
* It should handle Google and Microsoft sync without blocking the consumer page.

## How It Should Not Work

* It should not let a calendar job change payment truth by itself.
* It should not fail the main payment action only because an external calendar provider is unavailable.
* It should not update events for consumers who disabled live sync.

## Developer Notes

* Calendar jobs are dispatched from schedule changes, payment processing, and calendar connection flows.
* Use queue-safe, idempotent handling because the same payment can be touched by multiple flows.
