Setting Up Google Calendar with Sesami

Enabling Google Calendar Sync

You can enable your Google Calendar sync by navigating to:

Team > [click on team member] > Advanced > Google Calendar Sync

Your bookings from Sesami will appear as a separate calendar on your "master calendar" view on Google.

If you want to Block the availability in Sesami App:
- The event should be added to the Primary Calendar, which is under "My calendar"
  - All events created under "Other Calendars" won't sync in Sesami App.
- Mark the event as "Busy"
  - all "Free" events won't block the availability in the Sesami app.

Our Google Calendar sync will ONLY synchronize events in the present and the future.
Bookings in your calendar that have happened in the past will not be synchronized. In addition, past dates are automatically unavailable.
Two-way synchronization
Calendar ownership: Sesami owns the Sesami calendar, and Google owns the Google calendar; each entity can "edit" its own events
2-way sync: Each calendar will read and display the other calendar's events, meaning that Sesami events will be displayed on Google, and Google events will be displayed on Sesami (And blocks availability)
Sharing calendars from other accounts (your co-worker or master calendar)
Only your Google account calendar will be synced with your Sesami calendar.

But there is an alternative solution --- before we go ahead: Important Note!
This is not part of the Sesami App; Sesami App can manage the information sent from Sesami App to Google Calendar, but for everything that happens after that, we can't keep track.

1. "aggregating" Google Calendars:
