Overview

The Calendar Sync option allows you to link up a Microsoft Office 365 Outlook or Google calendar to your website so that events on your website calendar are kept up to date automatically.  

For the best experience, we recommend integrating only with Google or Outlook calendars, as these are the platforms we fully support. While we strive to ensure smooth functionality with other calendar services, we cannot guarantee their reliability, and events may not always sync as expected.

This is an additional feature and will need to be enabled. Please get in touch to talk to us about switching this on for your website. If you subscribe to Classic+, Calendar Sync functionality is included in your subscription.
