Booking with Google Calendar

Last updated on Sep 29, 2026

Settings → Automations → Google Calendar → Connect. Allow the popup and sign in with the Google account that can see every provider's calendar.

Setting What it does
Calendar to use The calendar to book into; becomes the fallback once you add providers.
Providers One row per doctor: their own calendar, specialty, a one-line blurb, optional custom hours. The AI asks which provider the caller wants.
Appointment types Name, duration, buffer.
Working hours Per day.
Booking rules Min notice, Max advance (days), Allow double-booking (leave off), External busy calendars.

External busy calendars takes iCal feed URLs, one per line. HealOS reads them live before every offer, so times booked elsewhere are never double-offered. Only busy times are read — event details stay private.

Two things that catch people out

  • A calendar you subscribed to cannot be booked into. Imported calendars are read-only. Book into one the connected account owns, and add the imported one as an external busy calendar so its events still block slots.
  • The Google calendar's timezone wins. Make sure it matches the practice, or appointments land hours out.
