Google Calendar integration means your Scaanme booking system and your personal calendar stay perfectly in sync. No double bookings, no missed appointments, no manual entry.

How It Works

  3. They select a slot and book
  4. The appointment appears in your Google Calendar automatically
  5. Client receives email confirmation with "Add to Calendar" button
  6. You get a WhatsApp notification
