Hello.  I can't seem to find a way to integrate more than one Google Calendar. I have a business calendar for my business related appointments (using my business Gmail), but I also have a personal calendar (using my personal Gmail). I want to be able to block out appointment times on my site so that customers can't book during a time when I am unavailable due to business or personal reasons. So, is there a way to use mulitple gmail/google calendars at one time? If not, could the functionality be added? I imagine I am not alone in managing multiple calendars. Please let me know.

Hello, I have the same need. It is logical that anyone who offers a product or service can have personal activities or reservations outside of Amelia. Is there no alternative or solution you suggest for this requirement?

I asked ChatGPT what to tell Amelia support about syncing multiple calendars and this is what it had to say. Maybe this gives you (Amelia support and development) something to go on...

Subject: Feature Request: Multiple Google Calendar Sync for WP Amelia Plugin

Dear WP Amelia Development Team,

I’m a user of the WP Amelia plugin and find the Google Calendar sync feature very useful for managing my availability. However, I would like to request the ability to sync multiple Google Calendars simultaneously within the same account or profile.

Here are a few technical considerations that could guide the implementation of this feature:

• Currently, the plugin allows OAuth authentication for one Google Calendar. Expanding this to allow multiple calendar syncs could involve tweaking the OAuth token request flow to retrieve and store access tokens for multiple calendars.
• Google Calendar API’s CalendarList endpoint provides a list of all calendars the authenticated user has access to. The plugin could allow users to select multiple calendars during the OAuth setup process.

• When multiple calendars are synced, the system would need a conflict resolution mechanism to determine how overlapping events are handled. For example:
  • Prioritization: Allow the user to set a priority order of calendars.
  • Aggregation: Block times from all synced calendars by default, preventing double bookings.

• The Integrations Settings page in WP Amelia could be enhanced with a multi-select option, allowing users to choose which calendars to sync. This could involve an easy-to-use checkbox or dropdown UI that retrieves available calendars via the Google Calendar API.

• Some users might not want all events from every synced calendar to block their availability. You could introduce filters such as:
  • Calendar-Specific Availability Rules: Only block specific types of events (e.g., by title keyword, event color, or label).
  • Event Categories: Allow users to define which types of events in a calendar should trigger unavailability (e.g., personal vs. business).

• The database might need to store references to multiple Google Calendar IDs per user instead of a single ID. This would also likely require changes to the backend logic that handles calendar sync to loop through multiple calendars.

Implementing multi-calendar sync would be a highly valuable feature for users who manage multiple roles, such as both business and personal commitments.

Thank you for considering this request, and I’m happy to provide further feedback if needed.

Best regards, 

SO it appears possible to do. Please implement this feature in future updates. Thank you.

ok, two questions:
1) if two calendars are used, does Amelia plugin identify and check if there are previous commitments in those two calendars to not allow booking?

2) If so, what is the guide or how could I configure it?
