What is Google Calendar Integration?

Future appointments and followups can be scheduled from the Callproof website or mobile app. Event reminders can be setup for SMS and email when the user needs it. Additional guests can be added to an event as well.

Once this process has occurred, any changes to Calendar setting will be done via the Callproof website. Also, if Google Calendars are setup from the website, this process will not occur on the mobile app.
