Connect Google Calendar for one-way or two-way sync of sales events with PaintScout

PaintScout connects to Google Calendar for one-way or two-way sync of sales events, so scheduled appointments and follow-ups appear on both calendars automatically.

Important: this feature requires the paid Operations add-on.

Here's how the sync works and what to expect once connected:

• PaintScout → Google Calendar All sales events created in PaintScout will appear in your Google Calendar with full details.
• Google Calendar → PaintScout Events from your Google Calendar will sync to PaintScout with the option to customize what event details show on your PaintScout calendar.

How do I customize my calendar sync settings?

You can fully customize your Google Calendar connection settings in PaintScout.

Select a sync option:

• ​Two-way sync: events from your Google Calendar will appear on PaintScout, and vice versa.
• One-way sync from PaintScout to Google: events from PaintScout will appear in your Google Calendar, but your Google events will not show on your PaintScout calendar.
• One-way sync from Google to PaintScout: events from your Google Calendar will appear in PaintScout, but your PaintScout events will not show on your Google Calendar.​

If you select Two-way sync or One-way sync from Google to PaintScout, you can also control event visibility inside PaintScout:

• ​Hide event details: PaintScout shows the event as "Busy".
• Show event details to only me: Only you can see the Google event details in PaintScout.
• Show event details to everyone: Your team can see the Google event details in PaintScout.

Shared Calendars

​Shared calendars can also be imported into PaintScout.

This sync is one-way only. Shared calendar events appear in PaintScout, but you cannot edit them.
