Keep your team on the same page — staff who use Google Calendar see repair appointments alongside their other events.
Get mobile notifications — Google Calendar sends reminders to your phone, so you never miss an appointment.
Choose which calendar to use — pick any calendar in your Google account (for example, a dedicated "Repairs" calendar).

Frequently asked questions

What happens to existing appointments when I turn on syncing?

Only new appointments booked after you enable syncing appear in Google Calendar. Existing appointments aren't synced retroactively.

Can I use a shared Google Calendar?

Yes. As long as the Google account you connect has access to the calendar, you can select it from the dropdown. Shared calendars are a great way to keep your whole team informed.
