Pro Tips – Getting the Most Out of Calendar Sync 

Once your Google Calendar sync is set up in GoHighLevel, a few small adjustments can make things easier and more reliable. These tips help you avoid issues and keep everything running smoothly.

Use separate calendars for each person:

  • Create a different Google Calendar for each team member.
  • This keeps everyone’s schedule clear and avoids confusion.

Color-code your events:

  • Use colors to show different types of appointments.
  • For example, use red for sales calls, blue for team meetings, and green for client sessions.

Check your time zone settings:

  • Make sure GHL and Google Calendar are both using the same time zone.
  • This prevents calls from being booked at the wrong time.

Add buffer time between appointments:

  • In GoHighLevel, you can build in short breaks between meetings.
  • This helps you avoid being rushed and gives space if a call runs long.

These tips don’t take long to set up, but they go a long way in keeping your calendar reliable.

  • Flying solo or freelancing: Keep personal and client bookings in one place. No switching tabs. No second-guessing if you’re double-booked.
