How to sync your calendar to your kitchen listing
Connecting your calendar keeps your kitchen's availability accurate. Syzl checks your calendar so makers can't request times you're already busy, and your Syzl bookings show up alongside your other events.
You can connect Google Calendar and Outlook (Office 365).
Connect your calendar
Sign in to the Syzl app and go to Me.
Under Syzl Account, choose Add/Edit Listings.
Tap the kitchen section you want to sync.
Open the Book tab and scroll down to Calendar & Payments.
Under Calendar Sync Settings, tap Connect an Account.
Choose Google Calendar or Office 365, and follow the prompts to give Syzl access to your calendar.
Once you've connected, choose your calendars:
Add Booking Events To: the calendar your Syzl bookings will appear on.
Check for Availability: the calendars Syzl checks when working out when your kitchen is free. You can pick more than one, such as a holiday calendar, a work schedule and a personal calendar.
You can connect more than one account with Connect Another Calendar. Tap Refresh to sync right away. To stop syncing, remove an account with its trash icon under Connected Accounts, or tap Connect Another Calendar and choose Disconnect All Calendars.
Tip: if you'd like your bookings kept separate, create a dedicated calendar for them first. Google explains how in Create a new calendar. Then come back and choose it under Add Booking Events To.
What happens after you sync
When a maker sends a booking request, it appears on your calendar as a requested event. A requested event doesn't block other events or requests until you accept it.
You can't accept or decline a booking from your calendar. Always respond to requests in the Syzl app. See Booking requests.
Time zones
Syzl shows your kitchen's time zone under the calendar settings. If a connected calendar uses a different time zone, you'll see a warning. Events are converted automatically, but check that your availability looks right.
Frequently asked questions
Which calendars are supported?
Google Calendar and Outlook (Office 365).
Can I use different calendars for bookings and for availability?
Yes. You choose one calendar for your booking events, and one or more calendars to check for availability.
What happens if I decline a booking?
The requested event is removed from your calendar.
Do I need to connect again for a new listing?
Your calendar choices are saved per kitchen section. Open each section's Book tab and choose its calendars under Calendar Sync Settings. Connected accounts belong to you, not to one section, so you usually won't need to connect again. If your account isn't listed there, tap Connect Another Calendar (or Connect an Account if you haven't connected one yet).
