Hey, guys, what's up?
It's Christine Seale, HighLevel queen,
and today we are going to talk about what not to do when you're setting up your
calendars inside HighLevel and also the difference between one way and two way.
So let's get started.
So for those of you guys who don't know, we actually have a free Facebook group
called Marketing Agency Automation Secrets where we give away hundreds of dollars
in free trainings every single week to our members.
So click the link below to go check that out.
OK, so the first thing you're going to do
is set up your integration's if you have not already done that.
So you're going to go to settings,
the bottom left corner and then you're going to click on Integration's.
And then what you want to do is you want to connect your Google account.
OK, make sure that you're using
the account that you want to sink your calendar with.
All right, then.
Step two is you want to create your calendars.
So you're going to click on calendars and you're going to click on add calendar.
OK, so step three, you're going to create the settings in your calendar.
Now, there's a bunch of different options
here that I actually covered another YouTube video.
But basically what you need to know is you're going to name your calendar.
Then Auto Kanfer just means that it's automatically going to confirm
the appointment and add it to your Google calendar as well.
OK. Also, you can put your Zoom link or your
address or whatever you want to put as far as location here,
and they'll be added in location for all the calendar invites and also.
You can set your scheduling,
notice your range, so this is like the total range if you
want, only want them to be able to schedule five days out, for example,
and you can put your Facebook pixel in here,
you can do all kinds of cool things.
But the thing that I really wanted
to stress that I see a lot of people making this mistake in the calendar
settings, step four, you want to set the correct sync options.
Now, I see this mistake made a lot because
people don't understand what the sink options mean.
So after you select your calendar provider here, which is the calendar that you sent
to Google Sync, options to wait means that basically all
the events from the Google calendar are going to be synched.
The all the events will talk to each other
back and forth, so it's a two way kind of communication, which means that if you
set an event in your Google calendar, that it will be added into HighLevel the.
Recipients will be added as a lead
into HighLevel, and it's going to import everything from Google.
OK, if you're using Google for your personal calendar invitations,
like let's say that you have a dentist appointment, for example,
and you put your dentist appointment in Google and you have to turn on it is
going to pull in your dentist email address.
And all the information is a lead in HighLevel.
You're going to be sending your dentist
all of the appointment reminders that you have set for that trigger.
So that is right, guys. You heard me right.
Anyone who you enter into your personal calendar and Google is going to start
getting your HighLevel appointment reminders if you do not want this
to happen, which ninety nine percent chance you probably don't.
You want to use one way.
OK, so one way just basically means that
the events from your Google calendar are going to be great and it is not going
to add the people that are in your Google calendar into HighLevel.
OK, so it's only going to spend appointment reminders to the people
who you schedule an appointment with inside of HighLevel,
which, like I said, 99 percent of the time is what you want.
OK, so that's the number one mistake
that I see with HighLevel calendars, is people using two way.
And then I ask, why am I getting all these weird leads?
Why is my dentist in HighLevel?
What's going on?
We had a client who
used his personal calendar for all of his flights and he was asking like, why?
Why are the airlines added to my HighLevel as lead?
And that's why. OK, so that's probably the issue here.
You just need to switch it to one way, OK,
and then disable trigger just means that it's not going to fire at all.
It's not going to fire appointment reminders at all.
OK, we don't see that too often either.
So hopefully this helps you guys and make
sure that you like and subscribe so you don't miss any future updates for me.
And I'll see you guys next time.
