Why use “Add Events to Calendar”?
- Organization: If you keep separate calendars for “Work,” “Side Projects,” and “Personal,” you can ensure each booking lands exactly where it belongs.
- Team management: In a team environment, direct specific event types to a shared team calendar rather than your private one.
- Visibility: See your availability at a glance by ensuring your most relevant calendar is the one being populated with new meetings.
How to set it up

Click on Event Types in the left sidebar.

Click the specific event you want to customize.
3

Click on the Advanced tab in the top navigation bar.
4

Select the specific connected calendar (e.g., Google, Outlook, or Apple) where you want these bookings to appear.
6
Save
Click the Save button at the top right.
How it works
- Automatic creation: Once a guest finishes booking, Cal ID immediately pushes the event details to the calendar you selected.
- Conflict checking: Even when you choose a specific calendar to add events to, Cal ID still checks all your connected calendars for conflicts so you don’t get double-booked.
- Independence: Changing this setting for one event type (like “Project Kickoff”) will not affect where your other event types (like “Quick Chat”) are stored.
