You're able to connect Cliniko to your iPhone calendar so that you can easily see appointments at a glance without logging into Cliniko.
Please note that while we maintain to keep this guide as accurate as possible, if iPhone updates their processes for importing other calendars, you may find that you see something different than what's mentioned in this article. We will do our best to keep it up-to-date.
Note that this is a one-way connection from Cliniko to your iPhone—updating something in your iPhone calendar will not update it in Cliniko.
Setting it up
Select My info under your name:
On the next page, select the Edit your practitioner settings button:
Scroll down to External calendar (not enabled):
Click the Enable external calendar button, and you'll see a really long URL come up. This is the URL you will use when it comes time to connect your Cliniko calendar to an external calendar:
Select the Copy the URL now button.
We only display this URL once, so it's best to link it up with your external calendar immediately, as otherwise you won't see it again and will need to reconfigure your external calendar settings.
Please keep this URL secure, as anyone with this address can subscribe to your calendar. If you ever need to, you can disable and re-enable the external calendar and it will issue you a new URL.
You can also hide patient names, so you won't see names of patients in your Google calendar—only the time/type of appointment.
Connecting to your iPhone's calendar
The following steps assume that you have already copied your external calendar URL from your user profile in Cliniko as outlined above. If you haven't done that, please do so now.
This guide assumes you are using the latest version of iOS, which currently version 26. Screenshots will reflect that version—you may see something differently on your phone, depending on which version you're on.
On your iPhone, find the Settings app:
Within Settings, find Apps, then find Calendar:
In the calendar settings, select:
Calendar Accounts
Add Account
Add Other Account
From there, select Subscribed Calendar, and on the next page, paste your Cliniko calendar URL into the Server box and hit Next:
From there, you'll be able to name your calendar and save. Your appointments will then show up in your iPhone calendar (it might take a little bit for them to appear, as your iPhone will need to import them from Cliniko).
Please remember that this is a one-way sync, so changes made in your iPhone calendar will not reflect in Cliniko. If you update an appointment in Cliniko, that updated information will be sent to your iPhone calendar.
