Calendar sync

Calendar sync puts your Mila appointments into the calendar you already check every day. There are two options, and they work differently, so it helps to pick the right one on purpose.

The two options at a glance

• Google Calendar is a live connection. New bookings appear in your Google calendar within moments.
• The calendar link is a subscription you add to Apple Calendar, Outlook, or anything else that accepts calendar subscriptions. Your calendar app refreshes it on its own schedule, usually a few times a day, so new bookings take a while to show up. That delay is how calendar subscriptions work everywhere, not a Mila problem.

If you live in Google Calendar, connect it directly. If you live in Apple Calendar or Outlook, use the link. You can also do both.

Google Calendar

Mila pushes your appointments to your Google calendar as they are booked, rescheduled, or canceled. It is one direction only: Mila writes to Google, and never reads from it.

To connect:

1. On the dashboard, go to Settings → Integrations and find Google Calendar under Calendar sync. Choose Connect and sign in with Google.
2. Or in the iOS app, open the Me tab, find Calendar sync, and tap Google Calendar.

Once connected, you can sync your existing appointments with Sync, and disconnect anytime. Disconnecting lets you choose whether the already-synced events stay in your Google calendar or are removed.

Apple Calendar, Outlook, and everything else

The calendar link is a private subscription URL for your appointments.

To get your link:

1. On the dashboard, go to Settings → Integrations and find Apple Calendar under Calendar sync. Choose Get your calendar link, then copy it.
2. Or in the iOS app, open the Me tab, find Calendar sync, and tap Apple Calendar. Your iPhone offers to subscribe on the spot, with no copying needed.

To subscribe by hand:

• On iPhone: in the Settings app, choose Calendar, then Accounts, then Add Subscribed Calendar, and paste the link.
• On Mac: in the Calendar app, choose File, then New Calendar Subscription, and paste the link.
• The same link works in Outlook and anywhere that accepts calendar subscriptions.

Each event shows the appointment time, the service, and the client's first name. Nothing else about the client rides along.

Treat the link like a password: anyone who has it can see your appointment times. If it ever ends up somewhere it should not be, regenerate it from the same place on the dashboard.

Regenerating your calendar link

Regenerating creates a new link and turns the old one off in the same moment. Every calendar subscribed with the old link silently stops updating: your phone, your Mac, and anywhere else it was added. Nothing warns those calendars, they just go quiet, so after regenerating you need to paste the new link into each one again.

What calendar sync does not do

Both options are one direction, out of Mila. Neither one reads your personal calendar, and neither one blocks your Mila availability around your personal events. A client can still book a time that clashes with something on your personal calendar.

To protect personal time from bookings, block it in Mila itself: see Block time and open slots.
