This setting allows you to integrate the WebReserv booking calendar with other online calendars. The WebReserv system can be integrated with your Google calendar or any calendar that supports the iCal interface. The integration allows you to get calendar entries for all reservations received through the WebReserv system.
Google Calendar
To activate the integration for the Google Calendar, follow the steps below:
1. Choose Google Calendar from the drop down menu.
2. Enter your Google username and password.
3. Include a title and additional information in the body section (optional).*
4. Click Save and Continue at the bottom of the screen.
Google Calendar set up
Your Google calendar will automatically be updated with all current reservations in the system and new reservations will automatically be added to the Google calendar.
The example below shows what the entry in the Google Calendar will look like for reservations made through WebReserv:

* The Google Calendar has a customization feature. With this feature, you can customize the title and body of the Google Calendar entries. You are able to enter your own text or use the template keywords. Template keywords will pull the appropriate information from the system and include it in the Google Calendar.
In the example below, the business used the text "Reservation for Deco Rentals" in the Title section and put the text, "Reservation for" along with the chosen keywords in the Body section. See next example for how this information translates in the Google Calendar entry.
