EPS SURA members' appointments, in Google Calendar. With Arbol, with no manual copying.
How it works
The EPS SURA member calls or writes to your organization.
The assistant asks for the EPS SURA order and authorization before offering a slot.
It checks availability in Google Calendar and creates the appointment as an event on the clinician's calendar.
If the patient reschedules, it moves it in Google Calendar and lets your team know.

EPS SURA integrationCalendar and scheduling
Google Calendar
Google Calendar is Google's calendar, used with a personal Google Account or within Google Workspace. It lets you create events, share calendars and publish appointment schedules with a booking page where others pick a time. Some appointment schedule features require a Google Workspace or Google One subscription.
Keep each provider's schedule and let patients book appointments in open slots.
Google Workspace, which includes Calendar, has more than 3 billion users and more than 13 million customers. Source: workspace.google.com (opens in a new tab)
The Google Calendar API is a REST API with OAuth 2.0 to read and create events and calendars, manage access permissions and receive push notifications of changes at an HTTPS webhook.
