Connect Your Google Calendar

Your booking calendar is already built and your hours are set. The one step left is yours: connect your Google account so bookings drop straight into your calendar — and the times you're already busy disappear from your booking page. That's two-way sync.

✓ Already done for you

We set up the back end

Your booking calendar is live, and we've set your starting hours to Monday–Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm. You can change those anytime (Step 5). All that's missing is your Google account — connect it and you're fully live.

What connecting Google does for you

Bookings → your calendarEvery appointment someone books shows up in your personal Google Calendar, with reminders, like anything else you schedule.
Your busy times → block your slotsDoctor's appointment, school pickup, another meeting? Those hours vanish from your booking page so no one double-books you.
1

Open your Calendar Connections

Log into your dashboard. Click the Settings gear (bottom-left), then Calendars, then the Connections tab at the top.

Settings → Calendars → Connections
2

Pick yourself in "My Staff"

At the top you'll see a My Staff dropdown. Choose your own name — this connects your personal calendar to the account.

3

Add your Google account

Under the Calendars sub-tab, click + Add new, choose Google, sign in with the Google account you actually use, and click Allow on every permission it asks for.

The permissions are what make the sync work — the system needs to read your busy times and write new bookings in. Allow all of them.
4

Turn on both directions of the sync

Once Google is connected, you set two things — this is the part that makes it two-way:

Turn on both. One without the other is only half a sync.

(Optional) Adjust your hours

We set your hours to Mon–Fri 9–5 to start. To change the days or times you actually take appointments, go to Calendars → your calendar → Availability and set them however you like. This is when you're open; the Google sync is what's already taken.

Prove it works (2-minute test)

  1. Open your public booking link and book a test appointment on an open slot.
  2. Check your Google Calendar — the appointment should be sitting right there.
  3. In Google Calendar, create a "busy" event over another open slot.
  4. Refresh your booking link — that slot should now be gone. If both happened, your two-way sync is live.
