Connect Google Calendar

With the Google integration you no longer need to check two calendars: events from your Google Calendar block the time in TheraTap and in online booking, and your TheraTap appointments appear in the “TheraTap” calendar in Google.

A practice can connect several Google accounts – for example a shared practice account plus the personal calendars of individual therapists. Each account has its own rules.

---

Connect an account

1. Open the Google dialog

   In the calendar via the Google Calendar menu or under Settings → Calendar (in the new app: Settings → Integrations).

2. Connect a Google account

   Click Connect Google account and sign in with Google. You are then taken back to TheraTap.

3. Check the rules

   The new account belongs to the person who connected it and imports events as “Busy” only at first. Adjust the rules if needed (see below).

Already connected?

A Google calendar your practice had already connected keeps working as before: as an account of the whole practice, events imported in full, all practice appointments sent to Google. You don’t need to reconnect. You can change the rules at any time.

Everyone can connect their own Google calendar and change its rules. Owners and admins see all accounts of the practice and can assign them to another person or to the whole practice.

Rules per account

Setting	Options
Assigned to	A person (imported events block their time) or the whole practice
Import events from Google	On or off. Off = TheraTap only writes to Google
Import as	Full (title and description) or only as “Busy” (no details)
Events marked private in Google	Like all others, only as “Busy” or not at all (only with “Full”)
Send to Google	Nothing, only the assigned person’s appointments or all practice appointments

Events marked as “free” in Google are never imported – they don’t block anything in Google either.

Personal calendar

For your private Google calendar we recommend “only as Busy” and sending only your own appointments to Google. You see in TheraTap when you’re not available, everyone else only sees “Busy” – the details stay in Google.

Same view for everyone

Imported events look the same for everyone in the practice. If an account is set to “only as Busy”, you also see only “Busy” in TheraTap. The details are still in Google.

What happens to imported events

• They are practice-only: no reminders, no messages to pet owners, and they don’t appear in the Flow.
• They are read-only – change or delete them in Google.
• TheraTap syncs every few minutes. Sync now in the Google dialog syncs immediately.
• When you change an account’s rules, its events are imported again right away – old titles don’t linger.

Disconnect an account

Disconnect removes the account’s imported events from TheraTap immediately. The “TheraTap” calendar in Google stays; you can delete it there if you no longer need it.
