Google Calendar integration: precheck booked dates in Google calendar before passing on data

    Asked on March 18, 2021 at 9:31 PM

    Does it check if the time that is selected in the form is available in the Google Calendar? I can post new events in the google calendar, but if I add an event in google calendar directly, it continue offering the same day/time as available in the form.

    I'd love to have the calendar integration to read/write and sync to offer availability of Date/time if it's available in the calendar.

    Thank you for your help!

    Sorry, but that feature is not available on the Google calendar integration.

    On the integration, you are just mapping the date field on the form.

    The customer fills the data filled in the date field on the form and that date is passed onto Google Calendar.

    We currently do not have that option to precheck the booked dates on your Google Calendar.

    We could escalate that as a feature if you want to check.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Let me escalate this to our back-end team as a feature request. We will not be able to provide an ETA, but once this feature gets implemented we will inform you via this ticket.

    In the meantime, there is an option to limit the submissions based on the date/time selected. Specifically, you can enable a unique question check on your form and once users attempt to submit a slot that is already taken, the form will produce an error.

    Good afternoon! Any update about this topic (check if the time that is selected in the form is available in the Google Calendar)?
    As a reminder, simply know that up to now we can use the form to fill our Google Calendar with the time picked in the JotForm, but we are eager to see that also the form checks if all times in the calendar are available.

    Thank you very much any update you can provide.

    Have a good day!

    Ed
