Settings: Calendar Connections Tab in PXME

Overview

The Connections Tab in PXME calendar settings centralizes how you link external tools—such as Google, Outlook, iCloud, Zoom, Stripe, and Google Ads—to your calendars. It helps prevent double-bookings, ensures smooth availability syncing, and automates meeting link creation. These settings are especially important for group calendars (Round Robin, Service, Class, and Collective), but may also apply to Event Calendars.

Calendar Types That Use Group Connections

The following calendars depend on shared user availability and connected accounts:

• Round Robin Calendars

• Service Calendars

• Class Calendars

• Collective Calendars

The Connections Tab: Sections and Functions

1. Calendars

• Sync Google, Outlook, or iCloud calendars to:

  • Push PXME appointments to external calendars

  • Pull in external events to block time in PXME

  • Prevent double bookings automatically

• Configuration in Group Calendars: Appointments assigned to users sync directly with that user’s connected calendar.
