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.
