Google Calendars CRM Integration
Centralise your teams calendars within HaloCRM to create a single of truth.
Google Calendars Integration
The Calendar Integration is one of our most popular features, and we’re about to show you why! You already have a clear and organised workflow in your HaloCRM account, but what about all of the meetings and reminders in your external calendar? We’ll show you how to sync all of your items and tasks to your external calendar so you can see everything in one place!
Take it one step further and set up Alert Reminders with your external calendar so you’ll never miss a deadline. Keep reading to find out how to use them with Gmail, Outlook, iCal and more!
HaloCRM has its own integrated calendar feature, that allows you to make appointments and tasks within requests, and in its own separate area, and merge with your calendars elsewhere.
Everything from request related appointments, separate or project tasks, personal events, meetings, annual leave, all collated together, and managed in the one place for each login.
Set reminders, book for multiple logins, inform users, use approximate arrival times, make private and much more.

Book Appointments, Set Task Reminders
Whether it’s to call a customer, schedule actions internally, or site visits, whatever the reason, schedule your multiple appointments from within the ticket. Add the subject for the appointment, start date and time, end date and time, indicate if confirmed with the relevant parties, and which agent it is applicable to.
HaloCRM will then push your appointments out to your Agents’ calendars. This amazing, intelligent 2-way functionality works with both Exchange Calendars on your domain, Office 365 or Google Calendar. Each agent has their own HaloCRM calendar in the CRM software. These can be viewed separately, or collectively in a group HaloCRM calendar from the main screen.
Add to HaloCRM Calendar
HaloCRM has its own centralised calendar, where each agent can have their own calendar, or you can group agents appointments together, with personalised colour selection to identify. You control what information comes out of the ticket and into the HaloCRM calendar entry using $variables of multiple data fields from the database. The intelligent 2-way updating allows you to update in one place, to update the other. So, if you update the calendar time/date in your calendar, it will update your HaloCRM calendar. If you update the appointments in the ticket, it will then update both your HaloCRM and regular calendars.
Add to Exchange, Office 365, MDaemon or Google Calendar
HaloCRM will inject your Agent appointments to the specified calendar, and all of the ticket data you specified as well. If your calendar account is synced with your Smartphone, your entry will be injected automatically, so your HaloCRM appointments are in with all your other appointments. If you update who’s assigned to the call, it will update your HaloCRM and regular calendars. HaloCRM handles all the hard work for you. It removes the appointment from the former agent’s external and HaloCRM calendar, then adds the appointment to both the new agent’s HaloCRM calendar and Exchange, Office 365 or Google Calendar.
