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.
- 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.
- 1Go to Settings → Calendar sync and paste it under Block busy times from other calendars.
- 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.
