Connecting an outside calendar pulls your existing commitments in as busy blocks, so you can't be booked over something you'd already agreed elsewhere. Available on Pro and Platinum.
Connecting
- Go to Calendar and open Calendar Settings.
- Under Direct Connections, find your provider and select Connect.
- Sign in and approve access.
- Choose which calendar to sync under Select a calendar.
- Select Connect.

Which calendar to pick
Pick the one that holds your actual commitments. If you keep work and personal in separate calendars, connect the one that would stop you taking a booking — usually personal, since that's where the wedding you're attending sits.
Going the other way — putting DJfindr in your calendar
Two options in the same Calendar Settings dialog:
Subscribe via iCal — copy the iCal URL and add it as a subscribed calendar in whatever app you use. It updates on its own. Some calendar apps cache subscribed calendars and only refresh every few hours, so a brand-new booking may take a while to appear.
Manually export — download an ICS file for a one-time import. It won't update afterwards.
What syncs, and what doesn't
Events from your connected calendar arrive as Busy blocks and stop clients booking over them. We don't read the details of your entries — the block exists to protect the time.
Blocks that came in from an outside calendar are managed there. Delete the entry in Google Calendar or Outlook and the block goes with it.
Disconnecting
Use the same Calendar Settings dialog. Blocks already synced in are removed with the connection, so check you're not leaving genuine commitments unprotected.
