Add Events to Calendar

In Cal ID, the Add Events to Calendar feature (often found under the "Advanced" tab or general settings) gives you total control over which of your connected calendars should store a specific event's bookings.

By default, Cal ID adds new bookings to your "Primary" calendar. However, this feature allows you to override that default for specific event types, helping you keep your professional and personal lives perfectly separated.

• Organization: If you have separate calendars for "Work," "Side Projects," and "Personal," you can ensure each booking lands exactly where it belongs.
• Team Management: In a team environment, you can direct specific event types to a shared team calendar rather than your private one.
• Visibility: It helps you see your availability at a glance by ensuring your most relevant calendar is the one being populated with new meetings.

1. Go to Event Types: Click on Event Types in the left sidebar.
2. Select an Event: Click the specific event you want to customize.
3. Navigate to Advanced: Click on the Advanced tab in the top navigation bar.
4. Locate Add Events to Calendar: Look for the dropdown menu labeled Add events to calendar.
5. Choose Your Calendar: 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.

• Automatic Creation: Once a guest finishes booking, Cal ID immediately pushes the event details to the specific calendar you selected.
• Conflict Checking: Even if you choose a specific calendar to add events to, Cal ID will still check all your connected calendars for conflicts to ensure 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.

To set a global default for all event types, head to your /settings/calendars. From there, you can choose one primary calendar that will be used whenever an event-specific one isn't chosen.
