You can easily sync your Google Calendar with your Spectora calendar to keep everything organized. The Google Calendar integration is two-way, meaning your Spectora events will show in Google, and your (non-repeating) Google events will show in Spectora!


How to Enable and Set Up the Google Calendar Integration

Setting up the integration for your Google Calendar is easy! Follow along with the steps below to see how to set up the two-way integration with Google Calendar.

πŸ’‘ Quick tip: Click on the video above to expand it in another window.

  1. Click "Settings"

  2. Click "Integrations"

  3. Click "Google Calendar" to enable

  4. Enter your Google Calendar ID - this is your Google/Gmail email address

  5. Click "Authorize"

  6. Click "Allow" to enable the two-integration on your Google Account

That's it! Β 

You'll see your inspections and events appear in your Google Calendar. Β Also, any one-time (non-repeating) events placed in your Google Calendar will be imported as events in Spectora to block off your schedule.

🌟 Note: Any existing events on Google Calendar will NOT sync to Spectora. This integration will only begin syncing new events added to Google Calendar after the Spectora integration is enabled


Customizing Your Google Calendar Text

Once you've enabled your Google Calendar integration, you can customize the text that shows on your calendar appointment. You can include important info like the inspection address, what services are scheduled, or who the client is. See how easy it is to customize with the steps below!

  1. Click the "Customize Calendar Text" button

How the Calendar Integration Works

  • As you move events around on either platform, they will update on the other. Β 

    • For multi-inspector companies, if an inspector without scheduling privileges tries to move an inspection it will revert back to the original date/time.
      ​

  • In Spectora, scheduled inspections and events (time off, etc.) will be imported into your Google Calendar.
    ​

  • In Spectora, any inspections or events added will show up in Google Calendar

  • In Google Calendar, you can reschedule inspections by updating the date/time (default rescheduling emails/texts will be sent.) For multi-inspector companies, this requires the scheduling privilege.
    ​

  • In Google Calendar, deleting an unpaid and unpublished inspection will cancel the inspection in Spectora. Paid or published inspections will be left intact. Inspectors without scheduling privileges cannot cancel inspections.
    ​

  • In Google Calendar, any one-time (non-repeating) events can be added and will show up as events in the Spectora calendar (and block off your schedule.)
    ​

  • In Google Calendar, events can be rescheduled and will be updated in Google Calendar.
    ​

This allows your Google Calendar to always be in sync with the Spectora calendar!


Google Calendar for Multi-Inspector Companies

For multi-inspector companies, this two-way calendar integration opens up a few possibilities:

  • Allows your inspectors to add doctor appointments or vacation days in Google Calendar without needing to give them full scheduling privileges.

    • They will automatically show up in Spectora to prevent scheduling conflicts.
      ​

  • Allows your employees to update events (appointments, time off, vacation) to keep the calendar organized and up-to-date.
    ​

  • Easily reschedule or cancel inspections from Google Calendar (if privileged), allowing for more flexibility out in the field.


🌟 Note: Unpaid/unpublished inspections deleted from Google Calendar will be canceled in Spectora.
