Choosing Calendars and Assigning to your Colleagues
You are able to connect any of the calendars that you have within the account that you connected. This is a great feature if you have multiple staff members!
You'll be able to see all the staff members and assign a different calendar to each staff member as needed:
There are a couple of optional features once you've allocated calendars to your staff members:
Block off time in Web Booker -
Check this off to enable the ability to automatically block off time in your Booker from events that are in your Google calendar
This blocked time will update the Web Booker so customers cannot double book this time
Enable pending bookings to be sent to your Google Calendar -
This enables bookings in the 'pending' state to be pushed to your Google calendar from the Booker before they are confirmed
