¶ How to Integrate a Calendar Using Calendar Bridge
This article will walk you through how to integrate a Calendar in your account using Calendar Bridge. Calendar Bridge is an application that can sync multiple calendars. Suppose you have a 3rd party calendar other than Google or Outlook. In that case, you can sync it to a Google Calendar and sync that Google Calendar with LeadMagicX (using the Google Calendar as a ‘bridge’).
NOTE****: We have integration tutorials for Google or Outlook Calendars specifically. Please follow those in-depth articles for each calendar integration. Or, follow along below for any other calendars you wish to integrate.
¶ Step 1: Get Started with Calendar Bridge
- Create a Calendar Bridge account at CalendarBridge.com
- Select “Connect Calendar Account” and proceed to connect your calendar accounts. (Here, you will need your 3rd party calendar and a Google Calendar.)
- Once you’ve completed connecting both accounts, select “Start Syncing Calendars” on the next screen.
- Select the ‘Source’ Calendar as the calendar you wish to integrate and the ‘Destination’ Calendar as the Google Calendar, and proceed to make your Sync selections.
¶ Step 2: Integrate Google Account with LeadMagicX
- Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Select ‘Connect Google Account’
- Proceed with Google Integration Steps.
- Either assign Google Calendar to an account calendar or assign it to your user.
- NOTE : If you’d like to assign to your user, you can do so in Settings > My Staff > Select User > Scroll down to ‘User Calendar Configuration’ > Select Google Calendar
- To verify if the calendar is synced, go to the “My Profile” section of the account in question. Scroll down to Calendar Settings and confirm that the correct account is connected. Then, navigate to Calendars, select your name from the user list, and check if the connected calendar’s appointments are displayed. Make sure your calendar is selected under Linked Calendars in Settings > My Profile > Scroll down to Calendar settings.
**FAQ: **
Question: What is a Calendar Bridge, and how does it work?
Answer: Calendar Bridge is a tool that allows you to sync multiple calendars, including those from third-party services, by connecting them to a Google Calendar. You use the Google Calendar as an intermediary (‘bridge’) to sync with LeadMagicX.
Question: How do I start syncing my third-party calendar with LeadMagicX?
Answer: First, create a Calendar Bridge account at CalendarBridge.com. Connect your third-party calendar and Google Calendar. Select the third-party calendar as the ‘Source’ and the Google Calendar as the ‘Destination,’ then start syncing. Follow the steps to complete the synchronization.
Question: How can I check if my Google Calendar is properly integrated with LeadMagicX?
Answer: Navigate to Settings > Integrations and select ‘Connect Google Account.’ Follow the Google integration steps and assign the Google Calendar to an account or user. To verify, go to “My Profile” for the specific account, check Calendar settings, and ensure all schedules are properly reflected.
Question: Can I assign the integrated Google Calendar to a specific user instead of an account calendar?
Answer: Yes. After completing the Google Calendar integration, you can assign the connected Google Calendar directly to a user by navigating to Settings > My Staff > Select User > Scroll down to ‘User Calendar Configuration’ > Select Google Calendar.
Question: Can I sync multiple third-party calendars using Calendar Bridge?
Answer: Yes. You can connect multiple third-party calendars to Google Calendar via Calendar Bridge and sync them all to LeadMagicX using the same process.
Question: Is there a specific menu for connecting my Google account to the platform?
Answer: Yes. You must go to Settings > Integrations and click the Connect Google Account button. This is a separate step from setting up your account on CalendarBridge.com.
Question: What is the difference between a “Source” and a “Destination” calendar in Calendar Bridge?**
**Answer: The “Source” is the 3rd-party calendar you want to pull data from (like a niche work calendar), while the “Destination” is the Google Calendar that acts as the bridge to our system.
