BriteBiz integrates with Google Calendar to keep your availability fully up to date. This article explains how Google Appointment Scheduler works and how you can use it to let customers book appointments online.

What Is Google Appointment Scheduler?

Google Appointment Scheduler is a feature inside Google Calendar that allows customers to book available time slots with you.
BriteBiz has a two way integration with Google Calendar. So once you confirm bookings in BriteBiz, it automatically updates Google Calendar, which in turn will update Google Scheduler for availability.

Using BriteBiz and Google Scheduler Together - When used together, your availability is automatically updated based on your BriteBiz calendar.

Can You Use Google Appointment Scheduler With BriteBiz?

Yes.
Because BriteBiz syncs all events with your Google Calendar, you can use Google Appointment Scheduler to show your availability and let customers book time slots.

BriteBiz updates your availability automatically as soon as a booking is created or a Google Calendar event appears.

How to Set Up Google Appointment Scheduler With BriteBiz

Follow the steps below to create a public booking page that reflects your real-time BriteBiz availability.

Step 1 — Connect Your Google Calendar to BriteBiz

  1. Go to Settings → Calendar Integrations in BriteBiz.

  2. Select Connect Google Calendar.

  3. Login and grant permissions for BriteBiz to access your Google Calendar.

  4. Choose the Google Calendar you want to sync with.

Once connected, all BriteBiz bookings will block time automatically in Google Calendar.

Step 2 — Create an BriteBiz Booking Calendar in Google Calendar

  1. Open Google Calendar.

  2. Select Create → BriteBiz Booking Schedule.

  3. Enter the title .

  4. Set your availability:

    • Days and hours

    • Duration of appointments

    • Buffer times

    • Maximum bookings per day

    • Minimum notice periods

  5. Click Next to set:

    • Location

    • Confirmation emails

    • Custom questions for the customer

  6. Click Save.

Google will generate a public booking link for your schedule.

Step 3 — Share Your Booking Link

You can add your link to:

  • BriteBiz Emails

  • BriteBiz Forms

  • BriteBiz Proposals

  • Your website

  • Social media profiles etc

Customers will only see time slots that are available according to your BriteBiz + Google Calendar schedule.


Step 4 — Customer Books an Appointment

When a customer selects a time:

  • A calendar event is created in your Google Calendar

  • Google Calendar update is visible in BriteBiz.

  • Manually add booking and change stage if required in BriteBiz.

Your team will receive the appointment details by email and in your calendar.

Optional: Update BriteBiz Stages Automatically

If you would like to automatically update the sales stages in BriteBiz, you can update the deal stage automatically when a Google Calendar appointment is booked.

This requires BriteBiz webhooks, which are available only on PRO Level Subscriptions. You need to use a third party tool like Zapier, Make, or a custom webhook can:

  1. Detect a new Google Calendar event

  2. Send the details to BriteBiz

  3. Move the deal to a stage such as “Viewing Booked” or “Consultation Scheduled”

This removes manual updates from your workflow.

Limitations to Be Aware Of

Google Appointment Scheduler:

  • Cannot embed directly into your website as a full widget (link only)

  • Does not support payments

  • Does not support multi-team or multi-room availability

    For a more advanced integration, we recommend Calandly.

  • Works with teams.

  • Full widget on website (not just link).

  • Full BriteBiz integration that automatically pulls in details.

  • Details of Calendly Integration here.

Summary

You can use Google Appointment Scheduler to let customers book appointments online while keeping availability accurate through the BriteBiz → Google Calendar integration.

Any booking information or changing of sales stages would need to be managed manually in BriteBiz (unless using PRO Level Webhooks).

With this setup:

  • BriteBiz blocks time in Google Calendar

  • Google Appointment Scheduler displays only available times

  • Customers can book instantly

  • Your calendars remain in sync automatically

This is an easy and effective way to offer online availability.
