Step 4

The most essential requirement for calendar syncing is that you have 'Assign Dates/Times to Options' enabled on your form (more info below). The Event Settings per option in the calendar sync setup will show you which options have dates/times set and will automatically pull in that information. You can adjust duration if it was not already set in the form.

ADDING DATES/TIMES TO FORM OPTIONS

Step 1

Calendar syncing requires dates/times to be set on options to sync them. You can find this option on the Edit page for your form in Advanced Options.

Step 1

Step 2

After you enable dates/times, you can have AI scan the form to try and parse dates times. You can also manually configure dates/times. Make sure to save dates/times and check them thoroughly. A teal calendar check mark will indicate that dates/times are saved.
