How to Connect Multiple Calendars to Google Appointment Schedule

What is Google Appointment Schedule

Google has recently introduced a new feature called "Google Appointment Schedule". This feature enables you to create public scheduling links directly from your calendar app, with no external tools. If you'd like to know more about what it can do and how to use it, read this article.

A question people will immediately ask after seeing this is: How can I connect multiple calendars to Google Appointment Schedule?

How to connect multiple Google Calendars to Appointment Schedule

If your other calendars exist within the same Google account, you can choose to import availability from them when creating your Appointment Schedule, like shown below:

But what if your calendar exists on a separate account? If this is the case, you will need to import it to your main Google Account. For simplicity, we’ll refer to the account you’re creating the Appointment Schedule from as "Account A", and the other account you want to connect as "Account B".

To connect a calendar from Account B to Account A, follow these steps:

1. Log in to Account B
2. On the left, find the “My calendars” section. To expand it, click the down arrow.
   
3. On the calendar you’d like to share, click the three-dot menu button and select "Settings and sharing" in the pop-up menu.
   
   
4. Under the section "Share with specific people or groups", click "Add people and groups".
   
   
5. In the pop-up modal, enter your Account A email address.
6. Under "Permissions", select how you’d like to share this calendar. It's important to note that organization admins in your Account A will also be able to see the information you share here.
7. Click “Send”.
8. Now log back into your Account A and open your email. You should see an email with a subject similar to: “<Email B> has shared a calendar with you”.
9. Open the email and find the "Add this calendar" link, then click on it.
10. In the pop-up modal, click “Add”.
11. You should now see your new calendar under the “Other Calendars” section.

To import additional calendars, simply repeat the steps outlined above. Once you have imported all of your calendars to Account A, you should be able to see them listed under “Calendars checked for availability” when you go to create your appointment schedule.

How to connect Outlook Calendars to Appointment Schedule

Currently, there is no native way to reliably import an Outlook Calendar to Google. While various methods exist for doing a one-time import of your events, your availability will never update as the original events change, and these methods don’t work on all Outlook clients. To learn more about doing a one-time export, check out this Microsoft article.

If you want to reliably sync your Outlook calendars with your Google calendar, I strongly recommend using a third-party tool such as OneCal. It will keep your calendars in sync at all times and takes only a few minutes to set up.

   1. One Way: Calendar A → Calendar B
   2. Multi Way: Calendar A ↔ Calendar B ↔ Calendar C
      
      
4. Choose the calendars you want to sync.
