External Calendar Integration (Google/Outlook)

Sync your accepted 7DAY jobs with external calendars such as Google Calendar or Outlook to keep your schedule organised and up to date. Contractors can choose to sync either their own 7DAY personal calendar or the entire organisation calendar to view all upcoming jobs across the business. These integrations provide a read-only view of accepted bookings and automatically refresh based on the external calendar’s update frequency, helping reduce scheduling conflicts and improve team visibility.

1. Log in to 7DAY

2. Click on 'Jobs' from the menu

3. Click 'Calendar Link' (located in the 'Your Jobs' section)

4. Select either 'My Calendar Link' or 'Organisation Calendar Link'
