Link your Google Calendar to automatically sync all bookings and manage your schedule in one place. This is the first thing to set up, because your booking tools stay locked until it's connected.
Where to Find This
Open the Integrations item in the Services Menu (the sidebar on the left of the Services area), then find Google Calendar.
Connect Google Calendar first. The whole Bookings group in the Services Menu — Register, View Calendar, Bookings and Booking Management — stays greyed out until Google Calendar is connected (and your initial site setup is complete). Connecting Google here unlocks all of them.
What You'll Need
- A Google account
- About 2 minutes to complete setup
Steps
1. Open Integrations
In the Services Menu, click Integrations, where you manage all your service connections.
2. Find Google Calendar
Locate the Google Calendar card, which displays the current connection status.
3. Click Connect
Click the Connect Google Calendar button to start the connection process.
4. Sign In to Google
You'll be redirected to Google's sign-in page. Choose the Google account you want to use for your bookings.
5. Allow Access
Google will request permission to manage your calendar. Click Allow to proceed.
6. Return to Dashboard
After granting permission, you'll be redirected back to your dashboard. The Google Calendar card should now display Connected in green.
What Happens Next?
Once Google Calendar is connected:
- Each booking location is assigned its own calendar.
- Customer bookings automatically appear in your Google Calendar.
- You can view all appointments directly in Google Calendar.
- Any changes made are synced both ways between the platform and Google Calendar.
Once you're past first-time setup, the Overview and AI Setup sub-tabs inside Booking Management work even if your Google connection later drops — only the Locations & Hours sub-tab shows a "not connected" notice until you reconnect. So a dropped connection never blocks you from editing services or plans.
Connection Status
Your Google Calendar connection will show one of these statuses:
Reconnecting
If you receive a warning about your connection expiring:
- Open Integrations in the Services Menu, then Google Calendar.
- Click Reconnect or Refresh Connection.
- Sign in again when prompted.
Tip: Regularly check your connection status. Reconnecting is quick and ensures your bookings remain in sync.
Troubleshooting
Can't see the Connect button?
Ensure you've completed your initial site setup.
Connection failed?
Try again, ensuring you're signed into the correct Google account.
Using multiple Google accounts?
Sign out of other Google accounts first, or use an incognito window to avoid conflicts.
