To sync bookings with Google Calendar, connect your Google account once under Settings: existing events on your calendar then block those times from being booked, and every new booking writes back to your calendar automatically, usually with a Meet link, so nothing needs copying by hand in either direction.
A booking page is only as reliable as its calendar connection. Sync is the difference between a tool that confidently books you over your own appointments and one that quietly respects them. Here is what two-way Google Calendar sync actually does and how to set it up so it stays trustworthy.
What two-way sync means
- •Inbound: existing Google Calendar events mark you busy, so those times disappear from what clients can book. This is what prevents double booking.
- •Outbound: every new booking is written back to your Google Calendar as an event, usually with a Google Meet link, so your calendar stays the single source of truth.
Setting it up in Schedulera
Connect Google Calendar from your settings, and the Google Calendar integration handles both directions automatically. Existing events block bookings immediately, and new bookings appear on your calendar with a Meet link for both sides. No import step, no manual copying.
Avoiding the stale-connection trap
The one failure mode worth knowing: a live connection can lapse if access is revoked, and a lapsed connection silently stops blocking, which is how surprise double bookings happen. Use the proper calendar connection rather than a one-time .ics import, and if you ever change your Google password or permissions, reconnect. A live two-way sync is the only version you should trust with client bookings.
Beyond Google
The same idea covers other calendars: Schedulera connects natively to Outlook Calendar the same two-way way as Google, and can subscribe to an iCal feed for calendars like Apple Calendar, so commitments there block bookings too. Connect every calendar that holds your time and the booking page reflects all of it. Start free and connect your calendar in the first minute.
