Calendar integration
Google Calendar sync for appointments and blocked time
Connect Google Calendar to Ranovu to push confirmed appointments, generate Meet links on Premium plans, and block external busy times from your public booking availability with two-way sync.
Key features
One-way appointment push
Confirmed Ranovu appointments create or update Google Calendar events automatically.
Two-way busy blocking
External Google events appear as blocked slots so clients cannot book over personal meetings.
Google Meet links
Premium plans can attach Meet conference links when online sessions are enabled.
Multiple calendar pick
Choose which Google calendars participate in sync from integration settings.
Why sync Google Calendar with booking software
Providers often keep personal and professional life in Google Calendar while clients book online. Without sync, double booking is inevitable.
Ranovu connects both directions on Premium plus: appointments flow out; busy times flow in as blocked availability.
Connecting Google on Ranovu
Open Integrations in account settings, authorize Google OAuth, select calendars, and save. Tokens encrypt with your provider key material.
Free plans include a one-time trial window for Calendar and Meet integrations so you can test before upgrading.
One-way create and update
When you approve or reschedule in Ranovu, sync jobs create or update Google events with correct start and end from slot durations. Cancellations remove or mark events accordingly.
Meet link generation runs asynchronously so clients receive links after events stabilize.
Two-way blocked slots
Google push notifications inform Ranovu about external changes. Imported busy periods block public slots without manual duplication.
Overlap checks also guard PayTR callback and manual appointment creation so late conflicts fail safely.
Google Meet for online sessions
Premium plans support Meet link creation for telehealth, coaching, and consulting sessions. Links can arrive via WhatsApp when configured.
Zoom integration is available on Ultra for providers standardized on that platform.
Sync vs exporting ICS files
ICS export is static; Google sync is live. Sync handles updates when either side changes without re-sending files.
For teams, sync scales better than sharing a read-only calendar link with front desk staff.

Operational tips
Keep one primary booking calendar to reduce noise. Personal calendars can block availability without being visible to clients. Renew push channels automatically via background jobs.
