Setting Up Linked Calendars & Conflict Calendars
RevStackr lets you synchronize external calendars (Google, Office 365, Outlook.com) to keep your availability up to date and prevent double-bookings. Use Connected Calendars to authorize RevStackr's access, Linked Calendars to import events and show true availability, and Conflict Calendars to automatically block RevStackr slots when you have other commitments.
1. When to Use Connected, Linked & Conflict Calendars
- - Connected Calendars: Grant RevStackr permission to read (and optionally write) events from an external calendar account.
- - Linked Calendars: Import events and availability into RevStackr so your true busy times display.
- - Conflict Calendars: Mark certain connected calendars as blockers, automatically making overlapping RevStackr booking slots Unavailable.
2. Setting up the Linked Calendar
- Step 1: Access the Connections Tab. In your sub-account sidebar, go to Settings → Calendars, then click the Connections tab.

3. Sync Preferences (Advanced Settings)
- Default Sync (One Way Sync): Events created on the system will be synced to Linked Calendar. Events created on Linked Calendar will be synced to the system as blocked slots. No contact is created.

- Two-Way Sync: Events created on the system will be synced to Linked Calendar. Events created on Linked Calendar will be synced to the system as appointments. Contact is created for the guests.
4. Conflict Calendars
- Events from third-party calendars added as conflict calendars are synced to the system, blocking your availability for the event's duration. The availability is blocked only if the event is marked as 'BUSY' in the third-party calendar.
