Google Calendar integration

Your bookings in Google Calendar, your days off in EquipDash

Connect your Google account once. New bookings appear in your calendar within seconds, and time you block there stops new bookings.

No credit card required. 21-day free trial.

How a day looks in Google once EquipDash is connected. The blue event is on the calendar you pick for blocking.

Within seconds

Each confirmed booking becomes a calendar event.

Block a day once

Your widget, POS and API stop taking bookings then.

Bookings stay put

Blocking never cancels a booking you already have.

Apple and Outlook too

Subscribe with a private link, no sign-in.

TWO-WAY CALENDAR SYNC

What the two-way calendar sync does

Bookings go out to your calendar and the time you block comes back to EquipDash, so you keep one calendar instead of two.

Bookings in seconds

Each confirmed booking becomes an event in an EquipDash Bookings calendar.

Changes follow

Change a booking and the event changes. Cancel it and the event goes.

Block time to close

Anything on the calendar you pick stops new bookings for that time.

Every channel closes

Your booking page, POS and API all stop taking bookings in blocked time.

Bookings stay put

Blocking time never cancels a booking you already have.

Apple and Outlook by link

Subscribe with a private, read-only link. No sign-in needed.

Other calendars block too

Paste an iCal link from Airbnb, Booking.com or Outlook to block time.

Details you choose

Add phone, pickup spot, headcount or notes to each event.

WHAT EACH ENTRY SHOWS

Put the details your team needs in every entry

Each booking arrives with who, when and what was booked. Add more from tags and the preview shows your latest booking as you type.

  • Customer phone, pickup spot, headcount, total price or your internal notes.
  • A tag with nothing in it drops out, so no entry looks broken.
  • The same layout works in Google and in any calendar that subscribes by link.

BOOKINGS IN SECONDS

In your calendar before the customer closes the page

The moment a booking is confirmed, it lands in your calendar with the name, time and what was booked. There's no nightly refresh to wait for.

  • Bookings sit next to your own plans, so you see the whole day in one place.
  • Change a booking and the entry updates. Cancel it and the entry goes.
  • Bookings go into their own EquipDash Bookings calendar, which you can show or hide.

BLOCK OUT TIME

Close a day from the calendar you already use

Days closed, public holidays, a maintenance afternoon. Put it on the calendar EquipDash watches and nobody can book that time.

  • Blocked time closes your booking page, the POS and the API at once.
  • A personal appointment and a booking can't land in the same slot.
  • Bookings you already have are never canceled.
  • Airbnb, Booking.com or Outlook? Paste their iCal link and they block time too.

How does the Google Calendar sync work?

It runs both ways. Confirmed bookings go out to a calendar called EquipDash Bookings within seconds, and anything on the calendar you pick for blocking comes back as closed time, so EquipDash stops taking bookings then.
