Exporting Calendar to Google or Outlook

Export Calendar

CloudBridal allows you to export your appointments to popular third-party calendar applications like Google Calendar and Outlook. This creates a live feed that automatically syncs your CloudBridal appointments with your external calendar.

Important Notes

• Time Zone Required: You must set a time zone in your Localization Settings before exporting
• Sync Delays: Third-party services refresh periodically - new appointments may take several hours to appear (up to 24 hours)
• Filter Integration: The export respects your current calendar filters, allowing you to create specialized feeds

Setting Up Calendar Export

1. Access Export Feature: Click the "Export Calendar" button in your appointments calendar
2. Verify Time Zone: Ensure your time zone is configured in Settings > Localization Settings
3. Copy Export URL: Use the provided URL to set up the calendar feed in your preferred application

Google Calendar Setup

1. Go to Google Calendar
2. In the Other Calendars section (bottom left), click the + button
3. Select From URL
4. Paste the CloudBridal export URL
5. Click Add Calendar
6. CRITICAL STEP: Visit Google's calendar synchronization page
7. Select your new CloudBridal calendar from the list
8. Click Save

Outlook Calendar Setup

1. Follow Microsoft's official instructions for subscribing to a calendar
2. Use the Subscribe to a calendar section
3. Enter your CloudBridal export URL when prompted

Customizing Your Export

You can create multiple specialized calendar feeds by:

1. Filtering by Staff Member: Export only specific staff member's appointments
2. Filtering by Appointment Type: Create separate feeds for consultations vs. fittings
3. Filtering by Status: Export only confirmed appointments
4. Date Range Filtering: Focus on specific time periods

Troubleshooting

Calendar Not Syncing:

• Verify time zone is set in CloudBridal settings
• For Google Calendar, ensure you completed the synchronization page step
• Allow up to 24 hours for initial sync

Missing Appointments:

• Check your filter settings - they affect what gets exported
• New appointments may take several hours to appear in third-party calendars

Outdated Information:

• Third-party services cache calendar data
• Changes in CloudBridal may take time to reflect in external calendars

This export feature helps you maintain a unified view of your schedule across all your calendar applications while keeping CloudBridal as your primary appointment management system.
