What Is Calendar Sync?
Calendar sync is the exchange of event or availability information between a scheduling product and one or more calendars.
When a confirmed booking is changed, the connected calendar event is updated to reflect the new time.
Why It Matters
Reliable sync reduces stale information and avoids maintaining the same event manually in multiple places.
How It Works
The scheduling workflow evaluates calendar information before presenting or confirming a time.
- Relevant calendars or events provide timing information.
- The system applies that information when calculating availability.
- Confirmed changes are reflected in the booking and connected calendar workflow.
Common Mistake
Assuming sync is always instant or bidirectional without understanding which data and calendars participate.
Review the surrounding booking flow and make the expectation clear to both hosts and invitees.
