Your calendar and your sessions, finally in sync.
Connect Google once. Your personal plans block clients from booking over them, and every session you book lands in your Google calendar within a minute. Riverd can see that you're busy, never what you're doing.
No credit card required
- Your personal plans block clients from booking that time, so no one books over your kid's pickup.
- Every session you book shows up in your Google calendar within a minute, both ways.
- Your personal life stays private. Riverd can see that you're busy, never what you're doing.
- On Apple Calendar or Outlook? You can still pull your Riverd schedule in one way.
Your life and your work stop colliding
Once you connect Google, the plans on your calendar turn into busy time on your booking page. A client can't book on top of your kid's pickup, your dentist appointment, or your weekly yoga class. You stop copying every personal commitment over by hand, and you stop double-booking yourself. Your real life is finally protected by default.
Riverd sees that you're busy, never what you're doing
Riverd can only see that a block of time is taken, never the title of the event, who's invited, or where it is. Your blocked time just shows up as "Busy." If a client books over a personal plan, you see a heads-up that says "your Google event," not what the event actually is. There's no setting that exposes the rest, by design. Your personal life stays your business. For the technically curious, Google's own Calendar API documentation lists exactly what Riverd can and can't see.
Both directions, within a minute
Book a session and it shows up in your Google calendar within a minute. Reschedule it or cancel it, and that updates too. It works the other way as well: a plan you add in Google blocks that time on your booking page. And your client's booking confirmation is instant either way, so they never wait around on a screen while the calendars catch up.
Apple Calendar or Outlook? Use the one-way iCal subscription.
Two-way sync is Google-only in v1. If you live in Apple Calendar or Outlook, you can still bring your Riverd schedule into your calendar app using the iCal subscription link on your schedule page. It is a one-way feed (Riverd writes, your calendar reads), and the refresh rate depends on your calendar app: Apple Calendar lets you set it as low as 5 minutes, Google Calendar refreshes feeds every 12 to 24 hours. Outlook is closer to Apple. The iCal link uses a private token; if you ever need to revoke access, regenerate it from the schedule page.
