Google Calendar

In OfficeRnD Hybrid you can connect your Google Calendar rooms to the platform and sync bookings across both platforms.

What is Supported

• When a booking is Created/Updated/Canceled in OfficeRnD Hybrid, it syncs the meeting room, organizer, and guests' calendars in Google Calendar.
• When a booking is Created/Updated/Canceled in Google Calendar, it syncs with OfficeRnD Hybrid's calendar.
• The integration works for one-off and recurring bookings.
• The initial sync between OfficeRnD Hybrid and Google Calendar syncs all bookings from the past 3 months from Google Calendar to the OfficeRnD Hybrid calendars. 

What is Not Supported

• The integration cannot sync exceptions from Google (editing/updating a single booking from a recurring series in Google.).
• Any restrictions made to meeting rooms in terms of their Privacy setting or any policies applied. If you have limited the room to a single team in OfficeRnD, for example, the room will be free for everyone to book on Google's end.
• Deleting an exception of a recurring booking from OfficeRnD cannot be synced to Google. There, it will remain as an occupied slot.
• Deleting or canceling a series of recurring bookings with exceptions will only delete the series and leave the exceptions (this is expected behavior in ORND). In Google, however, the exceptions are deleted with the series.
