When users want to book a service, it would be really useful to add that event to their Google Calendar. This allows the person to control the time and not miss anything important efficiently. JetAppointment has functionalities that will enable you to add the “Add to calendar” button to any page and even to the WooCommerce order.

In other words, in this tutorial, we will describe how you can synchronize the JetAppointment plugin with the user’s Google Calendar account. Proceed to this dedicated tutorial if you want to connect your website with administrators, providers, managers’ Google Calendar, and Gmail accounts.

If you want to place an “Add to Google Calendar” button on a page, the simplest way is to use the Dynamic Link widget of the JetEngine plugin. Open the page in the Elementor page builder and find the Dynamic Link widget on the left-side menu. Drag and drop it to the workspace.

Go to the Content menu tab and choose the “JetAppointments Booking: add booking to Google calendar” option in the Source drop-down menu.

Type in another button, Label, and choose Field Icon from your computer icon library. If you want more details, check out our Dynamic link tutorial. Here’s how it can look like after some styling:

To add an event to their Google Calendar while submitting JetFormBuilder forms, users can:

• connect a form and the pre-specified Google account, i.e.:
  • use the Uncanny Automator (Free version): set the “A user submits a form” option as a trigger and “Add an event to Google Calendar” as an action. The following tutorial explains How to Connect Form to Any App with Uncanny Automator;
  • get a webhook by the integration platform as Make (former Integromat) or Zapier and paste it to the form’s Post Submit settings. This JetFormBuilder tutorial explains How to Link WordPress Form with Zapier;
• use the JetAppointment plugin to connect the JetFormBuilder’s form with a Google Calendar of the account currently logged in to the browser and then add the “Add to Google Calendar” link to the Checkout page. Users can create both single service and service-provider forms.

Enable the WooCommerce Integration

Navigate to the WordPress Dashboard > Crocoblock > JetPlugins Settings > JetAppointments > General Settings tab and enable the WooCommerce Integration toggle.

This option activates the Edit Action pop-up window. In the WOOCOMMERCE ORDER DETAILS section, press the “Set up” button.

The first two settings in the Set up WooCommerce order details window are added by default. Hit the “+ Add new item” button.

Choose the “Add to Google calendar link” option in the TYPE field. Fill in the LABEL and LINK TEXT fields and hit the “Update” button.
Click the “Update” button of the Edit Action pop-up window. The additional “Add to Calendar” link will appear in the WooCommerce order.

Add the form to a page

Open a single page to place the form. Find the JetForm widget and drag and drop it to the page. Select the form you have created previously.

Press the “Update” button.

Open a checkout page created by the JetThemeCore or JetWooBuilder plugins. Find the Checkout Order Review widget and drag and drop it to the page. The “Add to GK” link will appear in the form.

Press the “Update” button.

Assign the checkout template.

Add the event to the Google Calendar

Navigate to the front end of the created page with the form and set the appointment.
