12665: Google Calendar and Drake Scheduler - Pulling or Pushing Appointments


Scheduler

How do I pull client appointments from Google Calendar into the Drake Software Scheduler? How do I push them from the Scheduler into Google Calendar?


Review these points before trying to move appointments between the Drake Scheduler and Google Calendar:

  • Logged-in preparer.
    • An appointment can be pushed or pulled
      • Only for the preparer logged into the Scheduler (not for an Admin login).
      • Only once - the Scheduler will not push or pull the same appointment a second time for the preparer.
  • Pulling appointments from Google Calendar.
    • Your Google Calendar appointments must have a title. A Google appointment without a title appears on your Google Calendar as "(No Title)" and is ignored by the Scheduler.
    • You can select which appointments to pull from Google Calendar.
  • Pushing appointments to Google Calendar. You cannot select which future appointments are sent to Google Calendar. All future appointments for the logged-in preparer are sent.
