Connect Google Calendar and your Fetch sessions appear on it, your busy times keep clients from booking over them, and you can show your Google events on the Fetch calendar. Each professional connects their own Google account.
Connect
- Click your avatar, choose Settings, then Connected Accounts. Only a professional has this page.
- On the Google Calendar card, click Sign in with Google.
- Choose your Google account, and on Google’s permission screen leave the calendar box ticked, then click Allow.
If you untick the box, Google connects but the card shows a blue note saying Fetch has no calendar permission. Click Grant Google Permission on the card to go back and allow it.
Choose a calendar for each kind of event
On the card, open Default Event Type Calendar. There is a row for Single Sessions, Group Events, Group Bundles, Rolling Enrollment and Online Scheduler. Pick one calendar per row from the calendars you can write to, and click Update Default Calendars. New events of that kind are written there. A single session can also be sent to a different calendar from inside the event.
Which calendars block bookings
Open Online Scheduler Calendar Availability. Tick every calendar whose events should count as busy, your personal one included, and click Update Scheduler Availability. A client booking online cannot pick a time that overlaps an event on those calendars. The same calendars are checked when Fetch looks for conflicts while you book.
See Google events on the Fetch calendar
Open your Fetch calendar and the filter panel. Under Google Calendars, choose the calendars to show. Their events appear in light grey, read only, and only you see them. Click one to open it in Google. This is separate from the availability list, so showing a calendar does not block bookings.
Two ways, not one
A session made in Fetch is written to Google. Change its title, time or details in Google, and Fetch picks the change up. Delete it in Google and Fetch stops syncing it but keeps the session. Events made in Google never become Fetch sessions.
Turn off or disconnect
- Turn Off Calendar Sync, at the bottom of the card, stops reading and writing your calendar but keeps Google connected.
- Disconnect Google Account, in the Google Account panel above the cards, removes Fetch from your Google account altogether: calendar, contacts and your saved calendar choices. Connect again later and grant the permissions you want.
