The Rela Photographer Storefront allows you to sync appointments with Google Calendar. This works in 2 ways:
Rela sends new appointments to Google Calendar.
Rela pulls in personal appointments from your Google Calendar to block off availability in Rela.
Connecting Rela to Your Google Calendar
The first step is to connect Rela to your Google Calendar from your profile. To get to your profile:
For admins, you can go to your Storefront -> Staff Accounts and click the gear icon to the right of your name, then "View Profile".
For non-admin photographers, you can click the "Dashboard" link in the main menu on the left.
From your staff profile page, click the "Connect" button next to the Google icon.
Then click the "Sign in with Google" button in the popup window. This will direct you to the Google accounts page where you can choose the Google account you want to sync to Rela. Click the account you would like to sync to Google and accept the permissions Rela is requesting.
You'll be redirected back to Rela and the sidebar will open. The image below describes this sidebar:
It is important to note that events will only be blocked in Rela if you have that event marked as "Busy" in Google. (see image below)
The final step to seeing the appointments added by Rela to your new calendar is to ensure that the calendar is checked from within your Google account.
That's it! Now that you've synced Rela to your Google Calendar, you'll be able to see the new appointments created in Rela as well as block off days and times you're not available to be scheduled for.
