Setting Up the Google Meet Integration

Step 1: Enable Google Meet Integration in Booknetic

Before using the integration, you need to enable it in the Booknetic Admin Panel.

Go to Booknetic Settings

In the Booknetic Admin Panel, navigate to Settings in the left sidebar.

Enable Google Meet Integration

Select the Integrations tab.
In the Google Meet section, toggle the integration Enabled to enable the sync.

Step 2: Access Google Developer Console

To set up the integration, you’ll need to create a project in the Google Developer Console and obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials (almost identical to the Google Calendar setup).

Go to the Google Developer Console and sign in with your Google account.
If this is your first time, agree to the terms of service.

Create a New Project

Click on the Select a project button at the top of the page.
Click NEW PROJECT.
Name the project (e.g., Booknetic Google Meet) and select No organization.
Click Create to finalize.

Step 3: Enable Google Meet API

Go to APIs & Services > Library.
Search for Google Meet API
Click Enable.

Step 4: Set Up OAuth Consent Screen

Configure OAuth Consent

Go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen.
Select Get Started.
Fill in the app information details.
Select External for the user type and click Create.
Fill out the contact information.
Agree to the Google API Services: User Data Policy and click Continue.
Click Create when done.

Step 5: Create OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials

Create OAuth Credentials

Go to APIs & Services > Credentials.
Click Create Credentials and select OAuth 2.0 Client ID.

Configure Application Type

Choose Web Application as the application type.
Under Authorized redirect URIs, paste the redirect URI provided by Booknetic for Google Meet (found in the Booknetic Google Meet settings).
Click Create.

Save and Copy Client ID

Once the credentials are generated, copy the Client ID and Client Secret.

Paste Credentials into Booknetic Settings

Go back to Booknetic > Settings > Integrations > Google Meet.
Paste the Client ID and Client Secret into their corresponding fields.
Save changes.

Connecting Staff Accounts with Google Meet

Each staff member can connect their individual Google account with Booknetic to generate unique Google Meet links for their appointments.

Steps to Sync Staff Account:

Each staff member can log in to their Staff Profile in the Booknetic Admin Panel.
In their profile settings, there will be an option to connect to Google Meet.
The staff member will see a warning page first (the app isn’t verified, which is normal).
The staff member authorizes access to their Google account.
Once connected, Booknetic can generate Meet links for every appointment for that staff member.

How Google Meet Works in Booknetic

Automatic Meet Link: When a customer books an appointment, Booknetic creates a meet link.
Notifications: The Meet link is automatically included in email/SMS notifications for both staff and customer.
Calendar Integration: The appointment will also appear in the staff member’s connected Google Calendar with the Meet link attached.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with Google Meet links:

Ensure your OAuth credentials are correctly entered in Booknetic settings.
Confirm that the Google Meet API is enabled in your Google Developer Console project.
Verify that the redirect URL is added to your OAuth configuration.
Make sure your application status is set to Published.
Staff must authorize their Google account to allow Meet link generation.
