Connect a calendar
Link Google Calendar, Outlook or an iCal address to avoid conflicts and create video calls.
Connect a calendar
In Calendar, Settings, Availability tab, the Connected calendars section lists your calendars. A slot that is busy in any of them disappears from your booking page.
Google Calendar
Click Connect next to Google Calendar and authorise FluenzR. You get:
- reading of your busy times, to avoid conflicts;
- automatic adding of meetings to that calendar (the Add meetings to this calendar option);
- a Google Meet link created at booking, for Google Meet meeting types.
Outlook
Same principle with Outlook (personal and work accounts): conflicts, automatic adding of meetings and a Microsoft Teams meeting for Teams types. Outlook itself sends the invitation to the prospect. The Teams meeting is only created if the Microsoft account is a work account.
Another calendar (iCal address)
Paste your calendar's secret iCal address and click Add. FluenzR reads your busy times without being able to write to it: the .ics invitation then comes from your sending mailbox.
- Google Calendar: Calendar settings, Integrate calendar, Secret address in iCal format.
- Outlook: Settings, Calendar, Shared calendars, Publish a calendar, ICS link.
- iCloud: Calendar, share, Public calendar, webcal link.
Good to know
- Busy times are re-read about every 10 minutes, and at each booking. The Refresh button forces an update.
- Only one calendar receives meetings: the one where Add meetings to this calendar is ticked. It is ticked when a Google or Outlook calendar is connected if no other calendar already receives meetings, and ticking it on another calendar unticks it elsewhere.
- If access to a calendar expires, a banner says so in the Calendar and the source switches to Reconnect: click Reconnect. Until it is reconnected, its busy times are no longer read.
- Remove deletes the calendar from FluenzR: its busy times are no longer taken into account.
