Connect Google Calendar

timum can be synced with Google Calendar to keep your availability up to date: Google appointments block your time in timum, and bookings from timum appear in Google Calendar.

Setup

  1. Open your Personal Settings.
  2. In the Connected Calendar Accounts section, find the Google Calendar tile. Click Connect with Google.
  3. Sign in with your Google account and grant the required permissions.
  4. The connection belongs to your user account. From now on, you can use it in all provider calendars where you are a team member and have the necessary permissions:
    • When creating a new property, select Import from Google. Each selected Google calendar becomes its own property.
    • Or connect an existing property to one of your Google calendars: open the property's settings and click Connect calendar in the bar at the top of the dialog.

Functions

  • Import: Google appointments are entered as blockers in timum.
  • Export: Bookings from timum appear in Google Calendar.
  • Multiple calendars: You can connect several Google calendars; each belongs to one property.
  • Update: Google doesn't report changes on its own. timum re-reads your Google calendars roughly every 15 minutes – so changes in Google may take up to a quarter of an hour to appear in timum. Bookings from timum are written to Google immediately.
