How do you sync the Bookingor WordPress plugin with Google Calendar?
Steps for Google Calendar integration
You can manage your schedule effectively by connecting your WordPress booking system to Google Calendar. This process creates a bridge between your website visitors and your personal or business schedule. I found that the primary benefit is preventing double bookings by maintaining a real-time data flow.
You perform the integration by entering the Google Cloud API credentials into the plugin interface. Proper configuration ensures that appointments appear as calendar blocks, allowing you to view your workload from any device. This connection functions reliably once you set the appropriate read and write permissions.
Key features of Bookingor include:
- Real-time synchronization between WordPress and Google Calendar.
- Automatic updates for new bookings and cancellations.
- Custom field mapping for appointment details.
- User-friendly configuration dashboard within WordPress.
- Multiple calendar support for different service providers.
- Secure API authentication using Google Cloud credentials.
- Ability to manage staff schedules through synced calendars.
- Email notifications triggered by calendar changes.
This setup provides a clear view of your daily commitments. You save time by avoiding manual data entry and reduce errors in your scheduling process. I recommend testing the connection with a dummy appointment to verify that the sync triggers correctly.
