You're able to connect Cliniko to your Apple/Mac 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 Apple/Mac 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 Apple/Mac—updating something in your Apple/Mac 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 Mac's Apple calendar
The following steps assume that you have already copied your external calendar URL from your user profile in Cliniko. If you haven't done that, please do so now!
On your Mac, go to the Calendar app:
When the calendar opens, go to File → New calendar subscription:
Paste your Cliniko calendar URL into the Calendar URL field, and press the Subscribe button:
Configure your calendar by choosing a name and setting the auto-refresh period—your Apple calendar will check for new appointments from Cliniko based on this time period:
Your Cliniko appointments will now appear in your Mac calendar under the list of other calendars!
Please remember that this is a one-way sync, so changes made in your Mac calendar will not reflect in Cliniko. If you update an appointment in Cliniko, that updated information will be sent to your Mac calendar.
