What is Calendar sync?

Calendar sync connects your scheduling tool to the calendars you live in, Google Calendar or Outlook. It works in both directions: the booking page reads your calendar so occupied times are never offered, and new bookings are written back so your day view is complete without checking two systems.

Without sync, availability is a promise you keep manually: every personal appointment, school run or existing meeting must be remembered and blocked by hand. Sync turns availability into something that maintains itself, which is the difference between a booking page you trust and one you double-check.

Why it matters

Double bookings are the fastest way to destroy the trust a booking page creates, and they happen exactly when the business gets busy. Calendar sync is the small, unglamorous integration that makes the whole scheduling system safe to rely on.

How it works in Medivot

Medivot booking syncs with Google and Outlook calendars: connected calendars are checked for busy times before slots are offered, and confirmed bookings are written back to the calendar you already work in, with reschedules reflected automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Does calendar sync work with Google and Outlook?

Yes. Medivot connects to both Google Calendar and Outlook. Once connected, busy times in either calendar block your booking availability and new bookings appear in the calendar automatically.

What happens to my booking page if a calendar disconnects?

A disconnected calendar stops blocking busy times, so the page would show slots based on your set availability alone. Reconnect the calendar and availability is accurate again. Medivot shows the connection state so you can spot a lapsed connection.
