Integration with Google Calendar needs to be able to read from calendar

    I can't figure out how to have JotForm notice (and refuse to schedule on top of) something in my google calendar that was not booked by JotForm.

    How do I do that?

    If JotForm makes the appointment, it refuses to schedule another event on top of it. How does it keep track of the events that it has scheduled already?

    Is that done inside JotForm or by reading google calendar?

    Hello,

    At the moment JotForm is not able to check your Google Calendar for blocked times.

    The Appointment Widget is keeping track of set appointments internally and thus knows when not to schedule again.

    I will however forward a feature request to our developers for the Appointment Widget to be able to check on existing Google Calendar appointments and block those as well.

    Please note that we are not able to tell you if or when that feature will be implemented, as it is dependent on many factors that will have to be decided.

    While we cannot tell you a timeframe we will keep you updated on this issue via this thread.
