Integrating with Google allows you to sync your calendar to your Google Calendar and collect reports related to Google Ads. There are two options to sync Google Calendars in NicheFit.
Step 1: Go to Settings > Integrations
Step 2: Click “Connect” Under the Google Icon
Step 3: Select the account you wish to connect
Step 4: Enter your password (if prompted).
Step 5: Agree to the Terms & Conditions by clicking Allow
Step 6: Click Close.
You can now sync your unassigned Calendar to the integrated Google Account within Calendar Settings and the Profile for group calendars. You can add analytics and Ad Word information for tracking & attribution purposes at this time if needed by choosing it from the dropdown. To set up your Gmail SMTP, check out our article “Integrating Gmail for Email Services.”
Option 1: Unassigned Calendar synchronization
Navigate to Settings > Calendars to create or edit an existing calendar
When creating, if you do not see this option right away, click on advanced settings and go to Connections.
Note: This method for syncing is only available for simple/unassigned/event calendars. For other options, see option 2 in this article.
When you are on the first page to edit for a simple/unassigned/event calendar, the step is called “Meeting Details”; you will see the “Link to Calendar” dropdown. Select a calendar and choose the options for sync based on the explanations below these example screenshots.
One way:
All events from the Google calendar will be shown in grey. It will not add anyone invited to the Google event to the system as a contact. But will still sync the Appointments from the Google calendar and block the timeslot pulled from Google into the system.
Two way:
All events from google calendar will be colored and will talk to each other. The system will find who is invited to the Google event, create a contact record for them, and fire off any triggers associated with the calendar.
Smart:
When an event is created in Google Calendar, but the contacts associated with it do not exist, the system will not add them as contacts. Still, it will block the time off in your calendar (the event color will be gray).
Alternatively, when an event is created in Google Calendar, and the contacts associated with the event are found as existing contacts, it will color code the event and fire off any triggers associated with the calendar.
Disable Trigger:
All Google Calendar event contacts will be pulled into the system as new contacts, but no triggers associated with the calendar will fire.
Option 2: Group Calendar synchronization
You would select the Primary Calendar option so that all events from google calendar will be colored, and the appointments will sync both ways.
*Note: The most common use would be to select the calendar as primary only without additional selections.
If you don't want us to create a contact, choose "Select Default Calendar" and click Save.
If you select a calendar as the default for contact creation, the ‘Allow Trigger’ option appears. Use this only if you want the Appointment Triggers to fire for the contact created. This will add the lead to any appointment reminder campaigns you have set up or need to create. Here are screenshots of what these menus look like:
