Can vrtual.ly sync with my Google or Outlook calendar?

Quick answer: Yes. vrtual.ly supports full two-way calendar syncing with both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook to help prevent double bookings and keep your schedule in sync.

Details:

Calendar syncing in vrtual.ly works in two steps:

  • Calendar integration: Connect your Google (Gmail) or Microsoft (Outlook) account to give vrtual.ly access to your calendars for scheduling purposes only.
  • Calendar rules: Choose which calendars vrtual.ly should read for availability and which calendar it should write new appointments into.

These settings are configured inside each appointment booking page by opening Edit Page Settings and expanding the Advanced section.

  • Write calendar: Select one calendar where vrtual.ly will automatically add booked appointments.
  • Read calendars: Select up to six calendars to determine availability and prevent double bookings.
  • Video provider: Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom (if integrated), or BigBlueButton (default).
  • Custom meeting URL: Optionally provide a single meeting link if no integrations are used.

Good to know: Calendar sync rules are unique per booking page. vrtual.ly does not monitor your calendar or use webhooks, so cancellations and updates should be managed directly in vrtual.ly to keep everyone in sync.
