Square Team App to Sync with Calendar when Schedules for a Shift

Square Team App to Sync with Calendar when Schedules for a Shift

This request is more so for Square Shifts or Square Teams, but I did not see an option to create a request in those categories, so I chose the next best thing.

 

I have compared apples to apples to leave Homebase and Gusto so that Square manages my Shifts, Team Communications, and Payroll.  For the most part, the Square team has done an amazing job developing everything a business would need, and being quite encompassing to include everything the others softwares have.

 

The ONLY thing I cannot seem to find is how to get shifts in Square Team to sync with Google and Apple calendars. I've searched to find forums on this and could not find any requesting this.  Apologies if I have missed it.

 

This request is simply requesting the ability for calendar syncing when I am scheduled for a shift. Most people use either Google or Apple to manage their days.  It would not make sense for teams to manage another calendar (and have to remember to check an additional calendar) everyday.

Re: Square Team App to Sync with Calendar when Schedules for a Shift

👋 thanks for all the input and 100% recognize the resounding desire and need for shift calendar sync across all our sellers. 

The team's in the process of prioritizing this across a number of other priorities and unfortunately I don't have any formal guidance on if/when this will get delivered. As soon as I do, I'll circle back with updates!

YES! That would be a game-changer. Right now it's so cumbersome.

PLEASE add this as a feature! 
My team originally used Crew and with the Square takeover we just decided to stick with it. Exporting shifts to personal calendars was something my team utilized often and now will have to add shifts to their own calendars by hand- very time consuming. 

Honestly, I don't really understand how this isn't a thing? A simple calendar api would be incredible. Having to manually enter into personal calendars means things get missed.

Right?! Makes me thing that there’s a reason square doesn’t want this…

yes! my team would love this feature. it’s the only thing we miss since switching to square teams from when i work

This would be so convenient and very helpful. Please add this feature.

Ohhh yes! This would be a huge huge upgrade for teams!! Like yes please!!! lets do this!

This also would be amazing for people who share their schedules with their spouse of significant other, or just even their friends so that they know when they are at work. 

yes this would be incredible.

 

This is a must @Square! I'm busy running the business and it causes anxiety to not realize I'm on the schedule to cover a shift at the cafe because I have staff out. I have to remember to check the schedule before I go to bed since I've missed shifts because I wasn't expecting to be on the schedule (My manager does the schedule). 

I run a food truck business with multiple trucks and various locations.  I HATE having to double enter all my events into a staffing software.  Right now my google calendar will auto populate at google sheet to create our schedule.  Would be nice if somehow I could integrate my google calendar with square to set up shifts that I can fill with staff.

Following up on this much-needed component. Even if there was a way I could publish the schedule and then EXPORT as CSV to upload to my calendar app for the short term, it would be immensely helpful. I will likely not use the Team Plus if this does not become an option soon.
