Integrate Google & Google Calendar
Sync availability, prevent double-booking, and auto-generate Google Meet links by connecting your Google account and calendars to BizStackPro.
Keeping Your Calendar Accurate and Free from Double Bookings
You may be booking appointments, but without proper calendar syncing, it’s easy to create scheduling conflicts.
Connecting your Google account and calendar allows BizStackPro to sync availability and prevent overlapping bookings.
Without the right setup, events may not block time correctly, or important details like meeting links may be missing.
This guide will show you how to connect and configure your calendars so your scheduling stays accurate and automated.
Once you understand how Google Calendar integration works, follow the steps below to connect your account, configure sync settings, and enable meeting links inside your BizStackPro setup.
Prerequisites
- Writer access is required to add system-created events to Google Calendar; read-only is enough to fetch events.
- Have a valid Google account and access to BizStackPro Calendar settings.
- Avoid conflicting shares/permissions on the Google Calendar you’re connecting.
Tip: If you ever see “writer access” errors, make sure the connected Google calendar grants the account permission to create/edit events.
Step 1: Connect Your Google Account
- Go to Settings → Integrations in BizStackPro.
- Click Sign in with Google and follow the prompts.
- (Optional) Add multiple Google accounts by repeating Sign in with Google.
- To disconnect, click the Connected button next to the account and confirm removal.
Follow along: If you have a team, each user should connect their own Google account (calendar connections are typically user-specific).
Step 2: Configure Calendar Connections
You can connect Google Calendar directly from the Calendar settings — even if you haven’t previously connected Google via Integrations.
- Go to Calendars → Calendar Settings → Connections.
- Select a Google Calendar as your Linked Calendar (required for Google Meet links).
- (Optional) Add one or more Conflict Calendars to block availability using BUSY events.
Note: Calendar integrations are tied to each user profile. Every user should connect their own Google Calendar for accurate availability.
Linked vs. Conflict Calendars
- Linked Calendar: System-created appointments/events automatically sync to this calendar in Google.
- Conflict Calendars: BUSY events from those calendars block your availability. FREE events may be fetched but won’t block time.
Best practice: Add every calendar you actually use as a conflict calendar so you don’t get double-booked.
Sync Preferences
Choose the sync approach that matches how you want BizStackPro to behave with external events.
- One-way sync: Events from BizStackPro can sync to Google; Google events return as blocked slots. No contacts are created and workflows don’t trigger from Google events.
- Two-way sync: Full sync both directions. Google events can create appointments/contacts in the system and can trigger workflows.
Quick guidance: Use One-way if you only need availability blocking. Use Two-way if you want automations and contact creation based on Google events.
Smart Sync (When Available)
Smart Sync is helpful when your calendar includes both known clients and unknown meetings.
- If contacts aren’t in the system, Smart Sync blocks time for those Google events.
- If contacts are in the system, Smart Sync may color-code events and trigger related automations.
Tip: If you’re unsure, start with One-way (simple) and move to Two-way/Smart Sync once you’re confident in your workflow triggers.
Enable Google Meet Links
Google Meet links typically require a Linked Google Calendar so the system can generate and attach the meeting link to the appointment event.
- Ensure a Google Calendar is set as your Linked Calendar.
- Go to Settings → My Profile and find User Availability.
- Select Google Meet as the meeting location, then click Update Availability.
Important: If you don’t link a Google Calendar as your Linked Calendar, Google Meet links typically won’t be generated for appointments.
Prevent double-booking & automate follow-ups
Choose the right sync mode, connect conflict calendars, and enable Google Meet so scheduling stays smooth and follow-up stays consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between one-way and two-way sync?
One-way sync blocks time from Google without creating contacts or triggering workflows. Two-way syncs both directions, creates contacts from Google events, and can trigger workflows.
How do I configure conflict calendars?
Go to Calendars → Calendar Settings → Connections and select the calendars to check for BUSY events. Only BUSY events block availability.
What does Smart Sync do?
Smart Sync blocks time for Google events if contacts aren’t in the system. If contacts exist, it color-codes the event and can trigger related automations.
How do I ensure Google Meet links are added?
Set a Google Calendar as your Linked Calendar, then choose Google Meet under Settings → My Profile → User Availability and update availability.
How do I connect my Google Calendar?
Connect via Settings → Integrations → Google (Sign in with Google) or Calendars → Calendar Settings → Connections.
What if I don’t link a Google Calendar?
Google Meet links won’t be generated for appointments unless a Google Calendar is linked as the Linked Calendar.
