When the day is busy, an external calendar helps with quick orientation. Business remains the place for bookings, changes, and client context, while calendar sync is only a convenient view.

## This matters when specialists want calendar visibility outside the platform but Business must stay the schedule of record

- Specialists can get a convenient view of their own reservations through Google Calendar.
- Operational work stays in Business: intake, changes, clients, payments, and reporting.
- The team can see whether the calendar connection is active and refresh access when needed.

## An external calendar for visibility, Business for the real work

Calendar sync is useful when specialists want to see their own appointments in the calendar they already use, without the business creating a second schedule to manage.

## Connect the calendar, enable visibility, manage the day from Business

The goal is not to make the team work in yet another system. The goal is to give specialists a useful personal calendar view while the main schedule and all appointment actions stay inside the platform.

- Connect Google Calendar from the integrations area in Business.
- Enable personal reservation sync for the people who need that extra visibility.
- Use the external calendar as a quick view of the day, not as the place to manage bookings.
- Refresh access when needed without losing clarity about which system stays in charge.

## Calendar connectivity without spreading the workflow across tools

The setting lives under "Integrations" → "Google Calendar" and comes down to one toggle and one authorisation.

- **"Sync my appointments"** — The toggle turns sync on and off, and the setting is saved immediately.
- **Google Calendar access** — You grant access explicitly the first time. After that the screen shows the last authorisation time and a button to refresh access.
- **Personal reservations, not a second operating schedule** — Sync gives a familiar view of the day, while the operational actions stay in Business.
- **Conditions** — The integration works with an active subscription. If Google authorisation fails, access is granted again from the same screen.

## Easier team orientation and less schedule confusion

The connected calendar adds convenience for people who already check their day outside the platform, without blurring where the current appointment information lives.

- **A more convenient day for specialists** — Each person can follow their own commitments more easily when they already use Google Calendar.
- **One schedule stays in charge** — Changes, client context, and real operational work remain in Business instead of being split across calendars.
- **Fewer hidden connectivity issues** — The calendar connection status is visible, so the team knows when access needs attention.

### What happens if calendar access needs to be refreshed?
