Google Calendar (2-Way Sync)

If you enable “Google Calendar”, your employees can enable their profiles to synchronize with their google calendars.  Which means, appointments that are booked with an employee, appear that employee google calendar. There is also one plus: if your employee has an event in his/her google calendar, our plugin removes that event’s time range from that employee’s availability time while booking process.
