TOPIC: Google Calendar block dates

Google Calendar block dates 4 years 3 months ago #41031

Right now the Google Calendar plugin is there to submit data from the form to Google.

For a new website I need to create a booking/appointment tool, currently RSformsPRO can do this for 95%, the only thing missing, is to block times that are already "booked" in Google Calendar.

Looking at the Google API, this should be possible.

So, any chance of adding the functionality to GET data from Google Calendar and not only POST? Or is there a workaround?

Hello,

Would simply blocking the dates in your form not be enough, since the dates are blocked you will not be able to schedule a second appointment on the same date? This implies that you will only accept appointments through your form.

Hello, thanks for your reply,

No, that would not be enough because of the following reasons:
  • Blocking a whole date is too much, it is about timeframes*
  • When appointment is made over phone and put directly into Google Calendar
  • When appointment is rescheduled in Google Calendar

So basically Google Calendar is leading.


*Example: When there is already an appointment for: 9:00-11:30, you should only be able to choose 12:00-14:30 / 15:00-16:30
Last Edit: 4 years 3 months ago by info5345. Reason: small improvement
