In this article, you will learn how to sync your Workiz schedule with your personal calendar.
With the Calendar sync integration, you can sync your Workiz schedule with calendars from Google, Apple, Outlook, and others — allowing you to sync your jobs, leads, and tasks over to the third-party apps you’re used to.
Note: Workiz only syncs in one direction: From Workiz to your third-party calendar. You will not be able to sync calendar events from your third-party calendar to Workiz.
Workiz calendar events (e.g., jobs, leads, and tasks) require more than just a name and location, making it difficult to properly sync third-party events into your Workiz schedule.
Enabling the Calendar sync add-on
From the navigation bar, select the Marketplace
Under Integrations, select Calendar sync
Turn the toggle switch on to enable the add-on
Syncing to a third-party calendar
From the navigation bar, select Settings > Settings
Under Integrations, select Calendar sync
Choose how you want to sync your Workiz schedule:
Using the API (recommended)
Exporting a snapshot of your schedule
After choosing your method, you will want to complete the syncing process on your third-party calendar. Below, we will cover how to sync with two of the most popular options: Google Calendar and the default Calendar app on iPhone.
Syncing to Google Calendar
Note: Workiz has no control over how frequently Google Calendar refreshes its data. This typically happens every 24 hours.
If you have immediate changes to your schedule that you would like to communicate to your team, we recommend doing so manually via text or email.
Open your Google Calendar
Next to Other calendars, select the + icon
Choose the option that corresponds with the syncing option you chose earlier:
If you copied the API URL from Workiz, select From URL
If you exported the file from Workiz, select Import
Follow the step that corresponds with your syncing preference:
From URL: Paste the API URL you copied from Workiz
Import: Upload the file you exported from Workiz
Syncing to iPhone Calendar app
Note: The Calendar app on iPhone will only support syncing using the API. You will not be able to use your exported file this way.
Open the Settings app on your iPhone
Select Calendar > Accounts > Add Account
Select Other > Add Subscribed Calendar
Paste the API URL your copied from Workiz
Select Next > Save
Syncing to other third-party calendars
