Google Calendar integration

Here's what you can do with a Google Calendar integration:

• Hold time when work is confirmed – when a job or an order is confirmed in your app, Base44 can add it to your Google Calendar as an event, so the time is blocked before anything else lands there.
• Run team scheduling from your own app – build a scheduling app that checks each person's availability, creates events and keeps bookings in sync with Google Calendar.
• Walk into meetings prepared – Base44 can build an app that picks up your upcoming meetings and pulls the attendee details together before each one starts.
• Give a Superagent read-only access – connect a Superagent to your calendar with read-only access, so it can check what's booked and when you're free without moving anything.

Your schedule has its own rules, and a short list won't cover all of them. Describe to Base44 who books, what they book and who should get the invite, and build around the way your week actually runs.

Taking your first booking is five steps away:

• Describe how people book – tell Base44 in chat how bookings or events should work, for example "let clients pick a 30-minute slot next week" or "invite everyone on the class list."
• Approve calendar access – sign in with Google and approve access to your calendar; Base44 handles the sign-in flow and stores the credentials for you.
• Look over the booking flow – the booking pages and schedule views come connected to your calendar, plus a backend function you can review and edit.
• Book yourself first – make a booking and check that the event and the invite show up on your calendar before clients get the link.
• Approve extra access later – if a later flow needs permissions you didn't grant at the start, you approve them when it comes up.

Your day still runs from the Google Calendar you open every morning, and bookings show up there like any other event. The appointment you currently arrange over a chain of emails is the one to describe to Base44 first.

Base44 builds booking pages around your real Google Calendar availability: they offer only the times you're free, and each booking goes back onto the calendar as an event with the client invited. When you describe it, cover these:

• Choose the calendar that counts – connect the calendar that holds your real commitments, so the open times on your site match the time you actually have.
• Name what can be booked – tell Base44 the session types and how long each one runs, so the site only offers slots you'd accept.
• Ask for the details you need – collect name, email and the reason for the visit on the booking form, so you walk into each appointment knowing who's coming and why.

If you run a studio or a practice, a booking site built this way replaces the back-and-forth about when you're free.
