Connecting your Gmail to Follow Up Boss will unlock calendar syncing for appointments and tasks.
If your Follow Up Boss account is connected to Google Apps or Gmail account, tasks with a date and time in Follow Up Boss will appear in Google Calendar. Tasks without a time, e.g. action plan tasks, will not appear in Google Calendar.
When a task is synced to your Google Calendar, the Google symbol will appear next to the time of the task. Click the icon to go to the event in your Google Calendar. From Google Calendar, the event can be edited to set up alerts.
Synced tasks will include the contact's name, email address, and Follow Up Boss profile link. In addition, changes made to the task in Follow Up Boss will be synced to your Google Calendar.
Appointments
Once connected, you will see your Google appointments in Follow Up Boss, and new appointments created in Follow Up Boss will be added to your Google Calendar. In addition, any synced appointments will have the Google symbol to navigate to your Google Calendar quickly.
Synced appointments will include the name, date, time, location, invitees' email addresses, and the event description.
