Calendar & appointments

Blocking busy times from your other calendars

Work at another clinic? Clients can't book you when you're busy elsewhere.

If you keep another calendar, for a second clinic or your personal life, CliniqSync can read its busy times and hide them from your online booking.

  1. 1Get your calendar's private iCal link:
  • Google Calendar: on a computer, open ⚙ Settings → your calendar → Integrate calendar → copy Secret address in iCal format.
  • Outlook: Settings → Calendar → Shared calendars → Publish a calendar, choose "Can view when I'm busy", then copy the ICS link.
  • Apple / iCloud: in Calendar on a Mac, right-click the calendar → Share Calendar → tick Public Calendar and copy the link.
  • Another clinic's software: look for "calendar feed", "iCal" or "subscribe" in your profile there.
  1. 1Go to Settings → Calendar sync and paste it under Block busy times from other calendars.
  2. 2Click Connect calendar. CliniqSync checks the link and shows how many busy times it found.

You can connect up to 3 calendars.

What CliniqSync reads

Only start and end times. Event titles, places and guests are never stored, and clients only see that a time isn't available, never why. Your links are stored encrypted.

Good to know

All-day events (like holidays or reminders) and events marked "free" don't block bookings.

Tip

Busy times refresh about every 15 minutes. Click the refresh button next to a calendar to update it straight away.
