Core takeawayKeep your primary calendar and Booka availability aligned daily.

Choose one source of calendar truth

Decide which calendar drives your final availability and synchronize consistently. Inconsistent ownership is the fastest route to conflicting bookings.

Run a weekly calendar hygiene routine

Short recurring checks catch most problems before they impact clients. Include both availability windows and event-level exceptions.

Practical checklist

  • Review upcoming 30-day conflicts.
  • Confirm recurring availability and blocked periods.
  • Validate timezone and daylight savings settings.
  • Audit recently edited events for overlap errors.

Treat sync errors as urgent operational issues

If external sync looks incorrect, disconnect and resync after verifying timezone settings and duplicate entries. Availability integrity directly affects lead quality and conversion.
