Calendar & integrations

Connect Google Calendar, Google Meet, or Zoom so Pineway can check conflicts, add sessions to your calendar, and create meeting links.

Connect Google Calendar to fit sessions around your existing schedule, and connect Google Meet or Zoom to create meeting links for clients. Scheduling and video conferencing are separate connections, even when they use the same Google account.

Choose the connection you need

ConnectionWhat Pineway uses it for
Google CalendarChecks selected calendars for busy times and adds new booked sessions to the calendar you choose.
Google MeetCreates a Google Meet link when a client books an offer whose Location is Google Meet.
ZoomCreates a Zoom link when a client books an offer whose Location is Zoom.

Connecting Google Calendar does not connect Google Meet, even when both use the same Google account. Connect each one you need.

Connect Google Calendar

Google Calendar works alongside your availability schedules. Your working hours define when you normally accept sessions; the calendars selected for conflict checks remove times when you already have an event.

  1. Open Calendar settings. You can also open Sessions, select Availability, then select Calendar settings.
  2. Select Connect Calendar or Connect beside Google calendar, then sign in to Google and approve access. Pineway returns you to Calendar settings, where your Google account and calendars appear.
  3. Under Add sessions to calendar, choose the calendar that should receive new booked sessions. Pineway uses your primary Google calendar when you have not chosen another destination.
  4. Under Check for conflict, turn on each calendar Pineway should check before offering a time to clients. Leave a calendar off when its events should not affect your session availability.

Your destination and conflict choices save automatically. To check the setup later, return to Calendar settings and confirm that Add sessions to shows the intended destination and the right calendars are turned on under Check for conflict.

Once connected, Pineway adds each new booked session to the destination calendar. Rescheduling the booking moves that calendar event, and cancelling the booking removes it.

Connect Google Meet or Zoom

A meeting integration lets Pineway create a private meeting link when a client books. Connect the provider before selecting it as an offer’s location.

  1. Open Integrations, then find Scheduling.
  2. Select Connect for Google Meet or Zoom, then sign in to that service and approve access. Pineway returns you to Integrations.
  3. If you connect both providers, select Set as Default on the one you want preselected when you create a new offer. The first provider you connect is the default until you change it.
  4. Open the offer editor and choose the connected provider under Location. This choice controls which kind of meeting link the client receives for that offer.

The Scheduling card shows Default on the provider Pineway preselects for new offers and Connected on any other connected provider. In a new offer, the same default provider appears under Location.

Changing the default does not change existing offers. Edit an offer and update Location when it should use a different provider.

Disconnect a calendar or meeting provider

Disconnect a service when Pineway should stop checking its calendars or creating its meeting links. Review the affected offers first so future bookings still have the availability and meeting details clients need.

Disconnect Google Calendar

  1. Open Calendar settings.
  2. Under Check for conflict, find the connected Google account and select Disconnect.
  3. Confirm the disconnection. Pineway stops checking its events for conflicts and stops adding, moving, or removing booked sessions in that calendar.

Events Pineway added before you disconnected remain in Google Calendar. The calendar setup returns to No calendars connected yet, which confirms that calendar sync is no longer active.

Disconnect Google Meet or Zoom

  1. Open Integrations.
  2. Under Scheduling, select Disconnect for the provider you want to remove, then review the warning and confirm.

If another meeting provider remains connected, Pineway makes it the default for new offers. Existing offers keep their current Location, so update any that used the disconnected provider. If no meeting provider remains connected, new bookings do not include a meeting link until you connect one and select it for the offer.

Connections that are not available yet

The following cards may appear in your settings, but their controls are disabled:

  • Apple calendar under Calendar settings
  • Google Analytics under Integrations
  • Tiktok pixel under Integrations

You do not need to configure these cards for calendar conflict checks or meeting links.

Fix common setup problems

A meeting location says “Connect in settings”

The provider is not connected to your Pineway account. Open Integrations, connect that provider, then return to the offer and select it under Location.

A Google Calendar event does not block a booking time

Open Calendar settings and turn on that calendar under Check for conflict. Pineway only removes busy times from the calendars enabled there; your availability schedule still decides the working hours clients can choose from.

A booked session is added to the wrong Google calendar

Under Add sessions to calendar, change Add sessions to to the intended calendar. The new destination applies to sessions booked after the change.
