PhotoBiz Scheduler allows you to make online booking for your sessions available to your clients. You can easily integrate the booked appointments directly into your daily calendar tools. If you use Google Calendar, your appointments can feed directly to your calendar from your PhotoBiz Scheduling tool. This guide will walk you through the steps of setting up a sync from your PhotoBiz Schedule to your Google Calendar.
Please Note: This is a one-way sync, any changes you make in your personal calendar will not be reflected in your PhotoBiz Scheduler. The feed includes dates up to a year in the future.

STEP ONE
Log into your PhotoBiz account and click on SCHEDULER in the left side menu.
STEP TWO
Click on CALENDAR FEED at the top, center of your Scheduler control panel.
STEP THREE
Highlight and copy the CALENDAR FEED link. You're going to paste this into your Google Calendar in the following steps.
STEP FOUR
Open your Google Calendar from a web browser (Google Chrome is recommend), and click the + icon next to Other Calendars. You will be given a few options, select From URL. In this section, paste your feed link from your PhotoBiz Scheduler dashboard, then click Add Calendar. Now your PhotoBiz Scheduler will be active on your personal calendar.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Google Calendar controls how often it syncs. Google Calendar synchronization occurs on an hourly basis, which can cause a delay of up to 12 hours before appointments appear on your calendar.
Now you can see your appointments with even more ease. If you need to cancel or change your events on your calendar that were generated by the PhotoBiz Scheduler, please make those updates in your PhotoBiz Scheduler control panel. The updates will sync from there to the calendar but not from the calendar to the PhotoBiz platform (it is a one-way sync).
