Two-way calendar sync to prevent double booking
Two-way calendar sync checks your Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars, so nobody can book a time when you're busy.

Why two-way calendar sync matters.
Your work booking page can't see the doctor's appointment on your personal calendar, so someone books right over it.
Caletus checks the Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars you connect and hides busy times from your booking page. New bookings go back onto your calendar. Personal events block the time without showing anyone what they are.

Connect your calendars
Connect one Google account, one Outlook (Microsoft 365) account and one iCloud account. - 2

Questions about two-way calendar sync.
What people ask before they set up two-way calendar sync: how it works, which plan it needs and its limits.
Talk it through with our teamEach person can connect one Google account, one Outlook (Microsoft 365) account and one iCloud account. Inside each account you choose which calendars count as busy, for example your work calendar and a family calendar. Caletus checks them before it offers a time, which is how it prevents double booking.
No. Caletus only uses your calendars to work out when you're busy. Titles, guest lists, locations and descriptions from your personal calendar are never shown to anyone booking you. They see that a time isn't available, and your private plans stay private.
Google and Outlook are checked again when a guest confirms a time. If that time has just been filled, the guest is asked to pick another one, so double bookings don't slip through. Changes in iCloud can take about a minute to show on your booking page.
Yes. New bookings are added to your connected calendar with the meeting time, the guest and the meeting link, and they update if you reschedule or cancel. That's the two-way part of two-way calendar sync: Caletus reads your busy times and writes your bookings back.
No. Caletus connects to Google, Microsoft and Apple from the cloud. Nothing runs in the background on your phone or computer, so there's nothing to install. Connect your calendar once and it stays connected.
