Google Calendar is a time-management and scheduling calendar service developed by Google. It is integrated via Nylas. You can book your appointments through 2-way sync. Birdeye calendar enables you to check your appointments and book through the Birdeye calendar only once it is integrated. Integrating Google Calendar with Birdeye will ease the process of booking, scheduling, etc.

Once the integration between Google Calendar and Birdeye is successful, you can sync your Birdeye appointments with your Google Calendar, view all your appointments in one place, and receive alerts and reminders for your appointments.

In addition, syncing your Birdeye appointments with Google Calendar can make it easier to share your schedule with others, such as colleagues. You can grant them access to view your calendar, so they can view when you are available and schedule meetings or events accordingly. Integrating Google Calendar and Birdeye can improve productivity, organization, and communication.

When businesses use Birdeye's appointment booking widget to schedule appointments with their customers, Birdeye will automatically send reminders to those customers. These reminders will be sent via email and SMS text messages. It reduces no-shows and ensures that customers are well-informed about their scheduled appointments.
