Do you have to maintain a Google Calendar as well as your Daylite calendar because your business partner uses Google? Would you like to connect your Daylite calendar to online booking systems, but they only offer a Google interface?
There’s finally a way to stop having to maintain two separate calendar systems! Daylite now offers continuous, two-way synchronisation with Google Calendar. Appointments that you create or edit in Daylite are automatically synchronised with Google Calendar — and vice versa. The same applies to appointments that end up in your Google Calendar via connected tools such as Zoom, Gmail or online booking systems — they will automatically appear in Daylite too.
‘Google Calendar has become an indispensable part of how millions of people organise their personal and professional lives. We identified an opportunity to take our customers beyond simply duplicating the same event in two places. When events from Google Calendar flow seamlessly into Daylite, they become part of the customer history there — the event turns into valuable business information,’ explains Alykhan Jetha, CEO of Marketcircle.
This shared context makes a noticeable difference, especially for small teams that often need to work within their clients’ calendar systems, and facilitates daily collaboration.
More Than Just an Appointment in the Calendar
Synchronising Google Calendar with a CRM like Daylite means more than simply displaying the same appointment in two places. Google Calendar shows you when an appointment takes place. Daylite, however, shows you why the appointment is important by automatically linking it to the relevant person, company, project or sales opportunity, thus making it part of their history.
For example: When a customer books an appointment through your online booking system, the appointment appears not only in your Google Calendar, but also directly under the corresponding sales opportunity in Daylite, along with past emails, notes, and appointments with that customer.
