Hi, I hope you are doing well. I have some online and offline services on my website, and google calendar linked to each professional. How can I prevent google from sending google meet links to my clients when booking an offline event? They are getting confused and I don't see an option on how to set up a physical or online event on the service settings.
We're doing just fine, thank you! Hope all's well with you also!
Google Meet can't be disabled, unfortunately. If the Google Calendar integration is configured, and Google Meet is enabled, all employees assigned to a Google Calendar will also be receiving the Google Meet link.
If you enabled the "Send Event Invitation Email" option in Settings/Integrations/Google Calendar (this option can be enabled, only if Add Event’s Attendees option is turned on) they will receive the event invitation email and that can't be prevented.
If, on the other hand, you simply added the %google_meet_url% placeholder to your email notifications, a workaround would be to disable the default "Appointment Approved" email notification and create two new ones. One would be assigned to all "online" services, that would include the Google Meet placeholder, and the other one would be assigned to all "offline" services, that would not include the placeholder.
I'm doing great thanks! I see, that's what I did, I have different notifications for online and offline services. But clients keep getting emails with the event invitation, including a Google Meet link. I also added disclaimers on the site just in case, so they don't get confused, not ideal but it would be great if in the future we could set up locations (online/offline) for events so that could affect event invites on a Google level instead.
These are triggered by the "Send Event Invitation Email" option in Settings/Integrations/Google Calendar section. If you disable them, the email invitations won't be sent to your customers.
Unfortunately, that's the only way to prevent this from happening, but in that case - it will stop the invitations for all appointments.

That's the only workaround at this time.
