Detecting Busy Slots in Google Calendar for Accurate Availability

Hola,

Creo que habéis hecho cambios en los formularios para integrarlos con calendario google.

Quería saber si ahora es posible realizar un formulario de agenda de citas con la posibilidad que se sincronice con calendario google + tenga en cuenta otros calendarios por si un rango de horas en día específico está ocupado.

Si es así, dónde puede encontrar tutorial acerca de esto?

Muchas gracias.

Hi Enrique,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our Spanish Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in Spanish, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

As for your request, you can create an Appointment Scheduling form and integrate it with Google Calendar easily. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
2. Select Integrations on the left, and search and find the Google Calendar integration.
3. Under Choose an action, select one, and click on the Next button below.
4. Click on Authenticate below, and that's it.

You can get more information on our guide on How to Integrate Your Form With Google Calendar.

Reach out to us again if you have any other questions.

Hi Arthur,

I'm using Google Translate (in case you see something strange).

Thanks for your reply and instructions.

I've tried workflow + form integration with Google Calendar. It works halfway, that is, it would be good to have these features, especially the first one, otherwise it makes no sense to have the form integrated with Calendar.

I find this first one essential for a minimum of good functionality and form management:

-That Jotform both adds events to a calendar and detects if there are already other events as "busy" so that it does not show availability in that time slot. That is, that it not only detects events created from Jotform itself.

-That other Google calendars can be integrated (from the same account or others) to take into account the occupancy-availability.

-

Please, I beg you to implement this first functionality as soon as possible, we have needed to use forms for appointment requests for a long time and without it it is not feasible for us to use it. We are using Appointlet.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Hi EnriqueAguilarEsc,

While the feature you're looking for isn't available at Jotform right now, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers. Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.



Thanks Sheena

Hi,

We’re excited to announce that we’ve made some improvements to our Google Calendar integration! Now, data transfers between Google Calendar and Jotform will be fully synchronized in both directions. For example, if any events on your calendar overlap with the available time slots offered through the Appointment Field, those slots will automatically show as unavailable. Integrating Google Calendar with your form is simple. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, select the Appointment Field and then click on the Gear icon on the right.

2. Then, select Google Calendar. You’ll need to log into your Google Account if your account isn’t already linked to one.

3. In the window that opens up, click on Add Action.

4. In the next window, choose which Calendar the submissions should be added to. Then set the Event Title, add the Attendees, write the Event Description, and enter the Meeting Location. Once you're done, click on Save.

If you want to use the 2-way connection (through the Appointment Field) on a form that already has an active Google Calendar integration, we recommend disabling the current integration in the Integration menu. Let me show you how to do that:

1. In Form Builder, click on Settings in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page.

2. Then, select Integrations in the menu on the left, and click on Google Calendar.

3. In the All Actions section, click on the Three Dots icon in the top-right corner of the existing integration, then select Disable Action.

We also have a guide about How to Set Up Google Calendar that you can check out.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
