In this Wix tutorial, account manager Mackenzie demonstrates how to set up a two‑way synchronization between an employee’s personal Google Calendar and the Wix Bookings calendar. She walks through accessing the Wix Dashboard, navigating to the Bookings > Staff section, selecting an employee (Liz), and initiating a sync request by clicking “Sync Google Calendar,” verifying the email address, and sending the invitation. The employee then opens the invitation email, clicks the provided link, selects the Google account to sync, and grants permission. Mackenzie shows how events from Google (e.g., cardio classes, doctor appointment) appear in Wix as busy slots, marked with a distinctive stripe background and a “G” icon, while protecting privacy by not displaying event details. She also demonstrates refreshing the Wix calendar to confirm the sync and notes that the same process must be repeated for each staff member. The tutorial emphasizes the feature’s two‑way nature—changes in either calendar are reflected in the other—and highlights privacy safeguards.

Hey, this is Mackenzie. I'm an account manager here at Wix and I'm here today to show you how to sync your Google Calendar. This feature allows you and your staff to sync their personal calendar with their WIX booking calendar to provide accurate availability time slots for customers to book appointments. This is a two way feature. So anything on your personal Google Calendar or will transfer over to your WIX booking calendar and anything on your WIX booking calendar will transfer over to your personal Google Calendar. To set this up you will want to head over to your WIX Dashboard. Once on your WIX Dashboard you want to head over here to the left hand side and click on WIX Booking Calendar. From here you'll want to click on Staff. Once on the staff page you want to click on any employees who you want to sync their Google Calendar. You will need to repeat this process for each individual employee. I'm going to start here with Liz. I'm just going to click on Sync Google Calendar, verify that this email address is correct. Click Send Sync request. Once I've gotten this notification that an invitation has been sent, I will ask the employee to check their email. Once they check their email they should have an email from my company. Have them open that email up in here. There should be a link. Click here to sync Calendar. Have them click on that link in this new tab. They'll just have to click the email address that they're wanting to sync. So I'll select this one here. This is asking them to allow the sync. Once they click allow, everything should be set up so it says we're synced. Let's just double check both calendars. So I'll go over here to my Google Calendar. Looks like both of my cardio classes have been ported. The one on Tuesday at 4 and the one on Thursday at 4. I also have my doctor appointment up here so I'm just going to verify that that has transferred over to the WIX booking calendar. To do that the employee will just need to log into the dashboard, go over here to Calendar and it should be blocked out. Might take a second to sync up. So I'm just going to click refresh here and make sure that that's showing up. Okay, so now we see here Liz is busy. It doesn't say what type of appointment because we want to protect the employees privacy but it does show that they're busy. Has this stripe background that indicates that it is a Google appointment. And then also this in the upper right hand corner there's a G there also just letting us know that that's something that transferred over from the Google Calendar. That is how you sync your Google Calendar.
