  • One-way sync: The calendar events from the Google calendar will be shown in grey. One-way sync will not add those invited in the Google event into HighLevel. One-way sync will sync the Appointments from your system to the Google calendar. This is recommended for most situations.
  • Two-way sync: All calendar events from the Google calendar will be colored. HighLevel will determine who is invited in the Google event, create a contact record for them , and fire off triggers associated with the calendar.
  • Smart: when a Google calendar event is created and the contacts associated were not found in HighLevel, HighLevel will not add them as contacts. It will block the time off in the calendar (event color = gray). When a Google calendar event is created and the contacts associated were found in HighLevel, it will appropriately color-code the event in HighLevel and will fire off associated triggers.
  • Disable Trigger: All event contacts from the Google Calendar will be pulled into HighLevel as new contacts. No triggers associated with the HighLevel calendar will fire.
