Connect Google Calendar so your receptionist can see when you're busy and book appointments straight into your calendar during a call.
Before you start
A Google account (personal Gmail or Google Workspace).
An active SkipCalls subscription.
Connect Google Calendar on the web
Open Tools & Setup → Appointments and switch to the Booking systems tab.
Click Connect calendar and choose Google Calendar.
Pick your Google account in the window that opens and click Allow.
Your Google calendars now appear in the Booking systems list.
Choose which receptionists can book
Find the calendar you want to book into and click Manage.
Tick each receptionist that should book into it and click Save changes.
A receptionist can use more than one calendar, and one calendar can be shared by several receptionists.
Set your hours
New assignments start with Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, 30-minute appointments, and a 15-minute gap. To change them:
Open your receptionist and go to the Booking tab.
Click Configure next to the calendar.
Set your work days, hours, time zone, appointment length, and gap between appointments. Choose View only if the receptionist should only check when you're free.
Click Save Settings, then make a test call.
Anything already on your Google Calendar blocks that time, so keep it up to date.
Connect from the mobile app
In the app, go to Settings → Integrations → Connect Calendar and choose Google Calendar. See Connect your calendar in the mobile app.
Troubleshooting
Reconnect notice: if Google access stops working (for example after a password change), a Reconnect notice appears at the top of the Booking systems tab. Click it and sign in again.
A calendar is missing: only calendars you own or that are shared with your Google account are listed. Under Connected accounts, click the sync button to bring in calendars you added recently.
Stop booking into a calendar: open the ⋯ menu next to it and choose Disable for AI, or Remove from SkipCalls. Your events stay in Google Calendar.
For every booking setting and how booking works on a call, see Appointment Booking: Connect Your Calendar So Your Receptionist Can Book.
