How to sync Bookem with other calendars: Outlook and Google

Bookem allows a one-way sync to let your Bookem calendar show up on your Outlook and Google calendars, and a one way sync vice versa, i.e. for your external calendar to show up on Bookem. External calendars are read-only.

Keep in mind

The synchronisation of your external calendar depends on the update schedules of systems. Google syncs every 24 hours while Outlook syncs every 3 hours. Bookem, however, syncs every 5 minutes with your external calendar - so what you see on your Bookem calendar will be mostly up to date.

To sync your Bookem calendar to Outlook and Google, follow these steps:

First, find and copy your iCal Bookem export URL

  • Firstly, you need to find your Bookem calendar URL. Go to Settings > Team Members

  • Select the team member whose calendar you want to sync

  • Scroll down and click 'Sync with other calendars'

  • A pop-up window will appear. Focus on the first section: View your bookings on Google Calendar, MS Outlook, and other apps.

  • Follow the steps, copy your Bookem calendar URL, and paste it into your 3rd party calendar app.

How to sync with Google

  • On your browser, go to calendar.google.com

  • Under 'Other calendars', click the '+' to 'add other calendars'

  • Select 'From URL'

  • Now, paste your Bookem iCal export URL and click 'Add calendar'
