The direct integration with Google Calendar allows PracSuite appointments to be synced with Google Calendar and is an alternative to the iCalendar feature. The integration is one-way, but should refresh quicker than the iCalendar feature for Google Calendar users.
Please note this feature is only available to user accounts that are linked with a practitioner file. The following option must be enabled on a practitioner's user account in Settings > Users & Security > Users & Security.

Configuring the Google Calendar Integration
Each practitioner must set up their Google Calendar integration within their individual PracSuite account.
Create a Dedicated Calendar in Google
Within each practitioner's Google Calendar account, a dedicated calendar for PracSuite appointments must be created for each corresponding PracSuite business.
To create a new calendar, in Google Calendar, select the + icon on the left side.
Repeat this process for each PracSuite business.
Enabling the Google Calendar Integration
After creating dedicated calendars for each business in Google, each practitioner must work through the following steps.
From the user menu in the top right-hand corner of their PracSuite account, select Manage Calendar Integrations.
Enable Google Calendar for the relevant PracSuite Business.
After selecting a business, you'll be prompted to Sign in with Google.
After signing in to your Google account, select the Select All option to ensure PracSuite can access all required data.
Select the corresponding Google Calendar for PracSuite to sync appointments for this business. Do not select a calendar that is used for other purposes or other businesses.
You can also customise how patient names should appear in Google Calendar, as well as which patient identifiers you want to appear within the appointment in Google Calendar.
Select Save to finalise your changes.
Repeat the steps above for each PracSuite business, remembering to select a different Google Calendar for each business.
You will now see PracSuite appointments in your selected Google Calendar.
PracSuite will sync the next two years of appointments with Google Calendar. During busy periods, changes to appointments made in PracSuite may take a few minutes to reflect in Google Calendar.
