With Timely, you are able to utilise a two-way sync with Google Calendar. This means you can balance your business and personal life happenings with ease. This integration allows your appointments to sync with your personal calendar, and vice versa. There are three steps you need to complete in order to set this up. In this guide, you will learn how to set up the Google Calendar two-way sync integration.
Step One: remove your Google Calendar one-way sync
If you already have a one-way calendar sync subscription pushing your Timely appointments to your Google Calendar, you will need to remove the subscription from your Google Calendar before setting up your two-way sync. To do this:
1
Head to Google Calendar, and click the gear icon at the top of any calendar page settings.
2
Then, click unsubscribe next to the calendar you want to remove. This will remove the calendar from your list.
Step Two: set up the Google Calendar two-way sync integration
1
Head to setup from the main menu in your Timely account dashboard, and click on integrations (formerly add-ons).
1
Click activate next to Google Calendar, and then the setup Google Calendar button.
Step Three: connect your staff calendars to Google Calendar
1
When the page has reloaded you will see a list of your staff shown. Select each staff member you wish to connect with a Google Calendar and click on their name.
2
This will take you to the edit staff page. Once there, scroll down to the calendar sync section. Make sure the two way option is checked in the calendar sync section and click save.
3
Click OK when prompted. You will then be redirected to Google and asked to login and authorise access your Google Calendar data. Press allow to authorise Timely to access your Google Calendar.
4
You will then be returned back to the edit staff page to complete the process.
5
Select the Google Calendar you want to sync with from the drop down list and default location for any events imported from your Google calendar. Once you have done this, click save. Your Timely and Google calendars are now being synchronised for the first time which may take a few minutes to complete.
