Connecting a staff member’s Google Calendar

You can connect and sync a staff member’s Google Calendar with WellnessLiving. When connected, the staff member’s service bookings on the WellnessLiving schedule are added to their Google Calendar. If a virtual service is scheduled, the virtual meeting link will be automatically added to their Google Calendar as well.

Similarly, non-recurring events that a staff member creates in their Google Calendar can be synced to appear as unavailable time on the WellnessLiving schedule and the staff member’s working hours. The title of the event created on Google Calendar will appear as a note for the unavailable time on the staff member’s working hours. When creating an event in your Google Calendar, you must select WellnessLiving from the list of calendars for the event to sync with WellnessLiving.

To learn how to create an event in your Google Calendar, see Create an event on the Google Support site.

Syncing a staff member’s Google Calendar with WellnessLiving has certain limitations. For more information, see Google and Outlook Calendar synchronization limitations.

When connecting a staff member’s Google Calendar, keep in mind the following information:

• A staff member must be signed in to their own account on WellnessLiving to connect their Google Calendar.
• If a staff member is working at multiple businesses, they must connect their Google Calendar at each business to sync with each schedule.
• If an error message appears when attempting to connect to your Google account, you’ll need to change your Google security settings to allow access to less secure apps. For more information, see Less secure apps & your Google Account on the Google Support website.
• If a staff member has an appointment booked with a walk-in client, the appointment won’t appear on their Google Calendar.
