I was wondering if people can add confirmed bookings to their calendars other than Google calendar.
Right now under staff, you choose a staff member and it only gives the option to sync it to a Google Calendar. I feel like that’s a feature request. You can use HTML and if the calendar you are using has a way to copy it’s code over and use it for your bookings, that’s the way to go so it syncs to the calendar you are using.
I know this seems like a long solution, and I haven’t tried it so I don’t know. But I’m pretty sure you might be able to sync your google calendar with whatever calendar you are using. If this is the case, then you might be able to get it to add to a google calendar and then sync with the calendar of your choice.
But I’m not sure
Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is not me (or the admin) trying sync calendars with wix. When someone schedules a service they can add the time/day only if they are using Google calendar. There are so many other calendar that people use and there is no way that they can sync with the wix scheduling. That’s the problem. Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion. Although it may solve the problem for calendars that allow HTML copy/paste, this would a terrible user experience. Most website visitors out there are not skilled. They want easy solutions just like the Google calendar sync.
Again, this scenario and the solution is not for the admin or the staff. It is for the person who visits the website and schedules a service/meeting. As it stands they can only add the confirmed booking to their Google calendar. If you use apple devices without the Google calendar you have to do this manually. Considering the number of Apple products users out there there needs to be at least an option to add it to the apple calendar. In short, you are right, I’ll have to add this to a feature request forum.
Thx.
@info52 Totally miss understood what you were looking for.
But yes, it would be great if they were able to add it to the calendar of their choice.
Hi there!
Lior from Wix Bookings team.
Thanks for taking the time to write us
Unfortunately, we currently don’t support more calendars other than Google. We do have a feature request open to collect votes for this one. You’re welcome to vote for it.
Best,
Lior
There’s the answer
Ok. I checked it with the relevant team. We’re in the process of developing a support in Outlook and iCal. I can’t share an exact timeline, but it should be out soon. If you’ll vote for the feature request, you’ll get an update.
Awesome. Good to hear
@info52 by the way, which calendars did you have in mind?
Apple calendar and Microsoft Outlook would be the most important ones. Thanks!
@liorari Just wanted to second that Apple Calendar and Microsoft Calendars are the most important for myself and people I have spoken with who would like to use Bookings, but don’t due to it not being available. Apple is actually winning in the poll between these two. Especially now since you can have your business email with Apple and be free of Google all together.
Hi there
Erez from Wix Bookings team.
First, I want to make sure you’re familiar with the ability to sync Wix Bookings with Apple Calendar - the import sync functionality already exists
Second, we’re still in the process of completing the Apple calendar sync, so users could export events to Apple calendar. We are also working on supporting Outlook sync.
I can’t share an exact timeline, but it should be out soon
Best,
Erez
