Summary

Connect Google Calendar so new tour reservations automatically appear on the calendar for each location. Outlook is not supported for two-way sync today — use Google Calendar for automatic adds.

Before you start

  • You need admin access and a Google account authorized to manage the calendar you want to use.
  • Tours must be configured with Availability on the Tour page.

Steps

  1. Open Tour from the main navigation.
  2. Select the location you want to connect (calendar sync is per location).
  3. Open the Settings tab on Tour.
  4. Find Google Calendar — description: Automatically add new tour reservations to your Google Calendar.
  5. Select Connect and complete Google's authorization flow.
  6. Return to Kiddo. Status should show connected when sync is active.

To disconnect, use Disconnect on the same row — new tours will not sync until you connect again.

What happens next

  • When a family books (self-serve link) or staff Schedule a tour, a calendar event is created on the connected Google Calendar.
  • If access is revoked in Google, Kiddo prompts you to Reconnect on Tour → Settings.

What your parents see: Book a tour at a center — families book from your tour link or an email invite; synced events appear on your Google Calendar.

Common questions

Do I connect once for the whole center?

No — connect Google Calendar separately for each location that needs its own calendar.

Can I connect from Settings → Integrations?

Google Calendar setup lives on Tour → Settings for the selected location. Settings → Integrations covers Stripe and points you to Tour for calendar sync.

Will edits in Google Calendar change Kiddo?

Sync adds new reservations to Google Calendar. Manage tour changes (cancel, reschedule) in Kiddo so families and notifications stay aligned.
