Appointment scheduling in Google Calendar started as a feature that was only available to some subscribers. It made sense given the rise in independent contractors who work one-on-one with clients. The following year, an increase in Google Workspace users made it easier to prepare for meetings and office hours.
Google Calendar’s new appointment feature
The scheduler feature will be able to find any conflict points from all of your associated calendars, not just the one linked to your Google Workspace account, whether you own them, can manage or edit them, or subscribe to them from other Google accounts.
Our handy friend Google Calendar will automatically block that time out of your availability. In case, if you have conflicts with any of your appointment then set them as your Workspace account. This works the same way it does for time conflicts between accounts.
Google knows which calendars to block and that you have buffer times so that you don’t get stuck between a commitment and being available for appointments again.
Multi-calendar conflict tracking will be available beginning today for Rapid Release domains and beginning February 7 for Scheduled Release domains. This will be available to Nonprofits, subscribers of Google Workspace Business Standard, Business Plus, and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade.
Currently, the feature won’t be made available to anyone on Essentials-tier plans, legacy G Suite plans, or just a personal Google account. They will have to wait and hope it does.
