How to Sync GoDaddy Online Appointments with Google Calendar

What Is GoDaddy Online Appointments?

GoDaddy’s Online Appointments tool makes it easy for businesses to offer self-service scheduling directly on their website. Customers can view available time slots, book services, and receive confirmations without needing to call or email.

To help you manage your calendar more efficiently, GoDaddy allows Online Appointments to sync with popular platforms like Google Calendar. This keeps all your bookings and personal commitments organized in one place, helping you prevent double-bookings and making sure your online availability stays up to date.

How the Google Calendar Sync Works

When you connect GoDaddy Online Appointments to your Google Calendar, the integration works both ways:

New bookings made on your website are added to your Google Calendar.
Busy times from your Google Calendar (if the events are marked public or default visibility) block those times on your website’s booking page.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Capability	Details
Connection Path		GoDaddy Dashboard → Appointments → Settings → Apps → Add Calendar → Google
Sync Direction		Two-way (bookings push to Google, and busy times pull from Google)
Event Visibility		Only “public” or “default” events block online availability. Private events are ignored.
Number of Calendars		One Google Calendar per staff member or service.
Sync Timing		Near-instant, but can take a few minutes to fully update.
Plan Requirements	Available on GoDaddy Websites + Marketing plans with Online Appointments.

How to Set Up Google Calendar Sync

Follow these simple steps to connect your Google Calendar:

Log in to your GoDaddy account and open your Dashboard.
Go to Appointments → Settings → Apps.
Click Add Calendar → Google.
Sign in with your Google account and grant the required permissions.
Choose the specific Google Calendar you want to sync.
Click Save to complete the setup.

That’s it! Your GoDaddy bookings will now appear on your Google Calendar, and your availability will update automatically based on your calendar’s busy times.

Managing Calendar Sync for Staff Members

If you have a team, each staff member can connect their own Google Calendar. This allows the system to show only the time slots that individual staff members have available, making scheduling more accurate for multi-staff businesses.

How to Disconnect the Calendar Sync

If you ever need to disconnect the sync:

Go to Appointments → Settings → Apps.
Select Not Syncing next to your calendar integration.
Click Save.

Your GoDaddy calendar will stop syncing, but your previously booked appointments will remain in your GoDaddy dashboard and your Google Calendar.

Tip: Display a Read-Only Google Calendar (Optional)

If you’d like to display a read-only version of your Google Calendar on your website without accepting bookings, you can embed your calendar using its iCal URL. This is a separate feature from Online Appointments and is useful if you just want to show upcoming events or availability without interactive booking.

Final Thoughts

Syncing GoDaddy Online Appointments with Google Calendar is a powerful way to streamline your scheduling process and avoid double-booking. Whether you’re a solo business owner or managing a team, this integration keeps your calendar organized and your clients happy.
