Activate 2-way sync between your Setmore and Google calendars and automatically export Setmore appointments into Google Calendar and import Google events into your Setmore calendar. Details reflect in real-time, ensuring both calendars are up-to-date.

  • Google 2-way sync exports Setmore appointments, classes, and recurring appointments to Google. It does not sync Setmore events to Google.

  • This sync imports Google events, recurring events, and 24-hour and multi-day events into Setmore. It does not import Google appointments into Setmore.

  • Once activated, the sync only exports newly-booked appointments from Setmore into Google Calendar. Appointments booked before activation do not reflect.

Before you set up 2-way sync, you must verify that both your Setmore and Google calendars are set to the same time zone.

To reschedule appointments in Google Calendar, you can drag and drop an appointment to a new time slot. The changes will take a few minutes to reflect in your Setmore calendar.

After the sync is activated, all booking details from the past month and the next two years sync to your Setmore calendar.

Note: Google appointment slots will not sync with Setmore. When creating an event in Google Calendar, you’ll be given three options: event, out of office and appointment slots. Only 'events' and 'out of office' will sync to your Setmore calendar.
