Go to Settings and click ServiceM8 Add-ons
Navigate or search for Calendar Import and switch it on to activate
To import/sync a staff member’s external calendar, a special ‘iCal’ URL is required, which will be available in the settings area of the relevant calendar (e.g. Google, Office 365).
In this example, we are going to use Google Calendar’s iCal
Open your Google Calendar from computer
1.Tick to select a calendar you want to share and click Option
2. Then click Settings and sharing
In the Settings, select Access Permissions and tick ‘Make available to public’
Then select Integrate Calendar, and copy the iCal link
Now go back to ServiceM8 and go to Settings > Staff
In Staff Members tab, select a staff member and click Edit
Click Options and paste the “iCal” link into Import Free/Busy Time from Calendar URL field, then click Save Changes.
Staff member’s external calendar will show in the dispatch board
Times blocked out in a staff member’s external calendar will mark the staff member as “Busy” at that time in the dispatch board, and be taken into account by the new Booking Suggestions feature.
Note: Calendar and Staff Schedules update every 15 minutes after the import. Calendar syncs are 90 days forward, 30 days back.
