Google Calendar sync

Sync your Arketa schedule to Google Calendar for a unified view of your appointments and classes.

The Google Calendar integration syncs your Arketa classes and appointments to a Google Calendar of your choosing. It's a one-way sync — everything you schedule in Arketa appears on your Google Calendar, but events on Google Calendar don't appear in Arketa.

What syncs

Group classes
Events and workshops
Private / appointment sessions
Community events

Only future classes added after you connect the integration will sync. Previously scheduled classes don't appear.

Connect Google Calendar

Go to Settings → Integrations
Click Enable next to Google Calendar
Sign in to your Google account
Accept the permissions and click Continue
Select the calendar you want Arketa events to appear on

[IMAGE TODO] Take a screenshot showing the Settings > Integrations page with Google Calendar connected, displaying the connected Google account and the selected calendar name.

Confirm that calendar is checked (visible) in your Google Calendar sidebar. In Google Calendar, look at the bottom-right panel and make sure the calendar you connected is toggled on.

Verify the sync is working

After connecting, add a new class or appointment in Arketa. It should appear on your Google Calendar within a few minutes.

[IMAGE TODO] Take a screenshot showing a Google Calendar view with an Arketa-synced class event visible, so users can see what a synced event looks like.

If you don't see it, check that you're viewing the correct calendar — look under Settings → Integrations to confirm which calendar is connected.

Privacy note

By default, the event title from Arketa (including client names for appointments) is visible to anyone who can see your Google Calendar. If you share your calendar and want to hide event details, enable Hide event title and only show "Busy" in your Google Calendar settings for that calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't my old classes show up? Only classes added after the integration was enabled are synced. Previously scheduled classes are not retroactively pushed.

Can I block time in Arketa through Google Calendar? No — the sync is one-way. To block time in Arketa, use the availability overrides in your scheduling settings.

Does this work with iCloud or Outlook? Arketa only integrates with Google Calendar. Both iCloud and Outlook can sync with Google Calendar, so you may be able to chain the integrations:
