How to Update Your Availability and Calendar Sync in SimplePractice
Help Therapy may use your SimplePractice calendar to schedule referrals. Keep your availability accurate and tell the referrals team about major schedule changes or time off.
Create and maintain availability blocks for the times, locations, and appointment types you offer. Use SimplePractice events or out-of-office blocks for time that should not be scheduled. Review your calendar regularly and confirm the correct location and time zone. Official instructions: https://support.simplepractice.com/hc/en-us/articles/208483776-Managing-your-availability-blocks
External calendar sync depends on the calendar provider and SimplePractice plan. Basic Apple Calendar sync is one-way from SimplePractice to Apple; it will not import personal events to block your SimplePractice availability. Google and Microsoft 365 options differ, and some Google features require advanced sync. Do not assume connecting an external calendar automatically prevents Help Therapy staff from booking a conflicting appointment. Place unavailable time directly on your SimplePractice calendar and check both calendars.
