Connect a calendar for bookings

This is for creators using bookings, services, webinars or other scheduled offers. Which calendar providers you can connect depends on what your account shows.

What do I decide before connecting?

Work out what Tapmy needs to do: read busy time, create events, send invites or add meeting details. Know which calendar account you will use, your time zone, your working hours, your existing calendars, any privacy needs and a safe slot for testing.

Use an account you are allowed to manage. Write down the Site, the provider account, the time and a way to undo the change before you change any permission or connection.

How do I connect a calendar and test it?

Calendar connections can expose event details and change your availability, so grant the least access and test with a made-up event.

1. Check that your provider and the action you need are offered in Tapmy. A provider logo alone does not mean full booking sync.
2. Pick the correct calendar account and organization, and check who you are signed in as before you accept permissions.
3. Read what Tapmy asks for: availability, creating or editing events, attendees or meeting links. Stop if it asks for more than you expect.
4. Back in Tapmy, select only the calendars used for availability and new events. Leave private or unrelated calendars out.
5. Set the time zone, working hours, buffers, session length, notice period and conflict rules in the booking settings.
6. Create one test slot in preview or public, and book it with a test attendee in a different time zone.
7. Confirm the slot can no longer be double-booked, the event lands on the right calendar and the attendee details are right.
8. Edit or cancel the test and see how the change shows up before you take real bookings.

How do I know it works?

The right calendar is connected. Busy time blocks availability. One test booking creates the right event for you and the attendee, and edits or cancellations follow a clear path.

Check the result in both Tapmy and your calendar. A badge that says "authorized" does not prove availability or events work.

What if it fails?

• Authorization is denied. Check your role, any organization policy, the permissions requested, pop-up or cookie blocking and whether the provider is supported.
• Busy time shows as free. Check the selected calendars, the time zone, all-day events, event visibility, sync delay and recurring events.
• An event lands in the wrong calendar. Confirm where new events are written. Reconnect only after you have saved existing bookings and event details.

Sync direction, delay, recurring events, meeting links, team scheduling, reminders and who owns a cancellation can vary. Test them before you promise anything to customers.

Change one thing at a time. Never share passwords, codes, API keys, tokens, private calendar links or customer records.

What next?

After the test passes, write down which calendars are selected and who can recover the connection. Then run a full booking, free or paid, before you share your availability.

Still failing? Contact Tapmy Support with the Site, provider, public URL, time and time zone, exact error, expected result and cleaned-up screenshots. If you exposed a credential, revoke or rotate it with the provider first.
