O que e Calendar Sync?
A two-way integration between a booking system and external calendar applications (Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar) that keeps availability accurate across all platforms.
Calendar sync is the real-time synchronization between a booking platform and the calendars that business owners and staff already use in their daily lives. When a booking is made through Addagio, it automatically appears in the linked Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. Conversely, when a personal event is added to the external calendar, the booking system blocks that time from being available for appointments.
This two-way sync is crucial for preventing double-bookings and maintaining accurate availability. A freelance massage therapist who uses Google Calendar for personal commitments and Addagio for client bookings needs both systems to communicate. If they block Tuesday afternoon for a dentist appointment in Google Calendar, that time should automatically become unavailable on their booking page.
Calendar sync also benefits multi-platform hosts. A vacation rental listed on Airbnb, Booking.com, and a direct booking page through Addagio needs all three calendars synchronized to prevent the same dates from being booked on multiple platforms (a costly and embarrassing problem known as a double-booking or overbooking).
The technical implementation typically uses iCal (.ics) feeds for one-way sync or OAuth-based API integrations for true two-way sync. API-based sync provides faster updates and more reliable conflict detection.
Addagio offers two-way calendar sync with Google Calendar and Outlook, plus one-way iCal feed support for Apple Calendar and other calendar applications. Sync updates propagate within minutes, ensuring availability is always current across all connected platforms.
