Default Resource
When you add an event in Google calendar, EzyOB needs to know which resource to assign to when importing.
You can specify which resource the Google “event” is for by including it’s name in the description surrounded by [ and ] characters (e.g. “[My Resource]”). Otherwise, the selected default resource will be used.
If you don’t want to import events that don’t have the [resource] specified in the description, then choose the “Ignore” option.
Google Calendar Options
1) When importing events from Google, delete overlapping slots in EzyOB
You can create bookings by manually creating events in Google calendar which are then imported into EzyOnlineBookings.
To prevent double-bookings any slots which overlap the imported Google calendar event will be deleted, unless they already have 1 or more bookings.
You can use this option if you want to use Google calendar to “block” out times from being bookable.
2) When importing events from Google, match to EzyOB slot by start time
Tick this option to match the start time of imported Google events to an existing slot in EzyOB.
If a match is found (with at least 1 place available) then this slot will be linked to the new Google event, otherwise a new slot will be created in EzyOB.
3) When deleting bookings in EzyOB, also delete the corresponding event in Google calendar
If ticked, events will dissapear from Google calendar if you delete them in EzyOB.
Leave un-ticked if you want events to remain in Google calendar even after they’re deleted in EzyOB.
4) When deleting an event in Google, also delete the corresponding booking in EzyOB
If ticked, slots will dissapear from EzyOB if you delete them in Google calendar.
Leave un-ticked if you want slots to remain in EzyOB even after they’re deleted in Google calendar.
5) Include customer information in Google event
If ticked, Google event descriptions will contain details filled in by our customers.
Leave un-ticked if you want to hide sensetive information and customer details.
Additional Notes
When slots are moved, modified, or bookings added, Google calendar events are deleted and re-created. Therefore, any additions to event descriptions etc. will be lost. Do not store addition information in event descriptions.
