Q176: How does integration with Google Calendar and Google Docs work?
Planyo allows integration with Google calendar using two technologies: iCal feeds (
see more here) or you can allow Planyo to update your Google calendar directly. The second method is much better because the new reservations appear in your Google calendar immediately, while iCal feeds are updated by Google only once every 4-6 hours (this is controlled internally by Google).
You only need to initiate the integration once, by going to
Settings / Google Calendar & Docs. Once the integration is initiated, you can set the calendar to be used by Planyo. We recommend you don't use your default calendar, but that you create a separate one, just for planyo. This way you'll easily distinguish your normal events from the ones from planyo.
Here you can also tell Planyo to upload daily, weekly or monthly reports into your Google Docs account. The reports will be visible in form of spreadsheets containing all data entered during the reservation or in form of PDF documents (depending on your choice).
