New! Two-Way Sync With Google Calendar



Google two-way calendar sync feature is finally available on BookSteam!

It is a known fact that Google calendar is a  very popular online calendar application loaded with awesome features. So we realized that creating a two-way sync between your BookSteam events and your google calendar would be the perfect fit! 


Google calendar is heavily integrated with the Android platform, which comes especially handy with your staff members being able to sync BookSteam with their Android mobile devices.


One-Way vs Two-Way Sync

With our one way sync feature you are able to synchronize your BookSteam events directly into your Google calendar, however, events created in Google calendar do not reflect back to BookSteam.

Two-Way sync allows your events (appointments, classes and blocked time) to be synced between BookSteam and Google calendars both ways. This means, appointments created in Google calendar will appear in BookSteam and vise versa.  


How to set it up

New! Double Booking




We have just added a new exciting feature: double booking. It's now possible for staff members to double book and make overlapping appointments or classes at any given time.

There are two ways you can make a double booking:

1) Simply, click and drag an existing first appointment directly onto the second appointment (the time slots will automatically adjust and split).













2) Click the time slot to close to the existing booking and select add appointment. In the new appointment window, review all the details and select the preferred time. If another event has been booked in this time range, a red warning sign will appear instructing you that you're about to make a double booking.

















Click 'Save' button and you're done, appointments will automatically adjust and split. Here is an example with two overlapping appointments and a class.











Note: Double booking can only be made offline by staff members manually, directly from the calendar.
