Syncing your booking and Google calendars

When you sync your Google and booking calendars, all class and course sessions appear in both calendars. In addition, personal appointments from your Google calendar block off time in your booking calendar to avoid any overlap.

Before you begin:

To sync your Google calendar with Wix Bookings, be sure to upgrade your site.

To sync your bookings and Google calendars:

Go to Booking Calendar in your site's dashboard.
Click Manage at the top.
Click Sync personal calendar.

Inviting your staff to sync their calendars

Invite your staff to sync their calendars to avoid scheduling conflicts. Only registered staff members can sync their calendar. Make sure to give your staff the necessary permissions. Your staff member then receives an invite email where they click to sync their calendars. In the Staff tab, their card updates to show they've synced their Google Calendar.

Your staff member's private appointments will not be visible in Wix Bookings. Instead, the time appears as 'Busy' in the booking calendar.

Before you begin:

Make sure you've upgraded your site so you can sync your staff members' Google calendars with Wix Bookings.

To invite your staff to sync their calendars:

Go to Staff in your site's dashboard.
Click the relevant staff member.
Click Invite to Sync Calendar.
Note: Only registered staff members can sync their calendar. Make sure to give your staff the necessary permissions.
(Optional) Edit the message you will send to your staff member.
Click Email Invite to email your staff members instructions on syncing their calendars. Once your staff member clicks the invite link in their email, their calendars will sync.
