Integration with Google Calendar

If your company is using the Google Suite to manage your calendars, you can also use the essentry Google Calendar integration to manage your appointments. When you tag an appointment in your Google Calendar, all visitors to that appointment will be imported into essentry.

You can also connect multiple calendars with your account and sync appointments from all of them through your essentry account.

Navigate to Your Data > Integrations to see all integrations and their status.

Please make sure that you have set your default location. If no default location is set, you cannot connect any integrations. When you create an appointment using an integration, the location for that appointment will be your default location selected here.

Click on Connect a Google Calendar.

Create appointments with Google Calendar

As soon as you connected your calendar with essentry, you can sync appointments with essentry automatically. We only synchronize appointments that you tag explicitly.

To tag an appointment for the synchronization with essentry you have to add a special guest to the invite: invite@essentry.com. This will tell essentry to synchronize this appointment and all the other guests in it.

When you save the appointment, Google will ask if you want to send out invitations to all guests. Please note, that essentry will also send invitations via email to all guests including the QR code. Therefore we advise that you do not send the invitations with Google. Please click Don't Send.
