Problems CalMov solves

How do I stop double bookings with my own calendar?

To stop double bookings, connect the calendar you already keep to your booking page. Its busy events then block those times, and an event with an address keeps the drive to and from it, as a booking would. CalMov reads your calendar every five minutes and adds each new booking to it as it's made.

Two diaries, one day

Double bookings happen when online bookings and the rest of your life sit in different places. A dentist appointment, the school run or a job agreed on the phone lives in your own calendar, and the booking page can't see it.

Connecting the calendar fixes both directions. Busy events in Google Calendar, Outlook or iCloud block those times on your booking page, and every booking made through CalMov appears in your calendar. Events marked as free don't block anything.

A worked example

A dentist appointment at 10:30

  1. 1. You add a dentist appointment to Google Calendar for 10:30 to 11:30, with the surgery's address.
  2. 2. Within five minutes, 10:30 to 11:30 is blocked on your booking page.
  3. 3. On Pro, the drive from your previous visit to the surgery and from the surgery to your next visit is kept too. On Lite, your fixed travel gap is kept either side.
  4. 4. A customer looking at your page is only offered times that still leave room for the dentist.

What to set in CalMov

Connect Google Calendar, Outlook or iCloud

On every plan, in Hours & availability, in the Calendar tab. One calendar service is connected at a time.

Busy events block, free events don't

Busy events block your booking page. Events marked as free don't.

Locations keep their travel time

An event with an address, or at least a postcode, is placed there. An event without a location is taken to be at your base, so the time around it is still protected.

Sync straight away when it matters

Press Sync busy times now to bring in a change immediately instead of waiting for the next read.

Who this is for

Anyone who keeps a personal or work calendar alongside the bookings customers make online.

Frequently asked questions

How often does CalMov read my calendar?

Every five minutes, and immediately when you press Sync busy times now. Bookings made through CalMov are added to your calendar as they are made.

Do customers see what's in my calendar?

No. CalMov only uses an event's time, busy status and location. It doesn't store titles, descriptions or guests, and customers only see that a time isn't available.

Which calendars can I connect?

Google Calendar, Outlook and iCloud Calendar, on Lite and Pro. Online services need Google Calendar, because it creates the Google Meet link.

Can I move a CalMov booking in my own calendar?

Move it in CalMov instead, so the customer is told about the new time and the travel either side is worked out again.
