BookingPress - Google Calendar Integration Addon

Service businesses that take bookings online often keep a second calendar by hand, and that is where double bookings and missed appointments come from. This addon connects BookingPress to Google Calendar so new appointments appear on the staff member's own calendar automatically, with the event title, location and description filled in.

The sync runs both ways in a practical sense. Time slots assigned to staff are marked as busy in Google Calendar, which helps prevent bookings during unavailable periods. Reschedules and cancellations made in BookingPress update the matching calendar events. Changes to an appointment should be made in BookingPress, which stays the single source of truth for every connected calendar.

Features

• Automatic booking sync: New bookings made through BookingPress are added directly to the staff member's Google Calendar, so schedules stay current without anyone typing appointments in by hand.
• Staff schedule in Google Calendar: Staff can view and manage their bookings inside Google Calendar, a familiar tool, which makes daily appointment tracking simpler.
• Busy slot blocking: Booked service slots are marked as busy on Google Calendar, which helps prevent overlapping appointments and double bookings during times a staff member is unavailable.
• Event details filled in: Calendar events are populated with a title, description and location, giving each appointment clear context when the staff member opens it.
• Updates for reschedules and cancellations: When a booking is rescheduled or cancelled through BookingPress, the matching Google Calendar event is updated so the calendar stays accurate.
• BookingPress as single source: Appointment changes are made in BookingPress so every system stays aligned. This avoids confusion from edits made directly in Google Calendar.
• Multiple staff members supported: Each staff member syncs their own appointments to their own Google Calendar, which keeps individual schedules clear for teams with several providers.
