Syncing Your Ours Calendar With Your External Calendar
Syncing External Calendars Into Your Ours Calendar
If you use Simple Practice, Google Calendar, or another digital calendar to keep track of sessions outside of Ours, syncing that calendar is an easy way to avoid double booking.
- Click the + icon to the right of My calendars.
Then you'll see a pop-up where you can input a calendar link.
In a new tab or window, navigate to the calendar you want to integrate with and find the appropriate link.
For Google Calendar, navigate to your calendar's settings and scroll down to find the Secret Address in iCal Format. Click the copy button to copy that link and paste it into the Add Calendar modal.
Learn more about sharing Google Calendars from Google's Help Center.
For Simple Practice, navigate to Settings > Calendar and toggle on Calendar Sync. Then choose a name format and click Save. Finally, copy the link for the calendar URL and paste it in the Add Calendar modal in Ours.

For Microsoft/Outlook, navigate to Calendar > Shared Calendars > Publish a Calendar. Select the calendar you want and the viewing permissions. Copy the ICS link and paste it into the Add Calendar modal on Ours.
For your iCloud Calendar, simply click on the calendar details, toggle on Public Calendar and Copy the link to the calendar and paste it into the Add Calendar modal within Ours.
For your TherapyNotes Calendar, go to https://www.therapynotes.com/app/settings/ and click Sync Calendars With Other Applications.
From there, you will find your link to your personal and practice calendars:
- Once you set up the sync you will be able to see external events within your calendar. When a client looks to book an Ours session with you, your availability will reflect your recurring availability, exceptions made, and the availability as set by external calendars.
✅ Done!
If you want to sync your Ours Calendar into an external calendar...
Here's how to do that:
- From your Ours Calendar, copy and paste the URL at the top of the screen.
- Next, sign into your primary email account (for this example, we are using gmail). There should be a section that says "other calendars" where you can add additional calendars. In gmail there is a plus sign that you can select. From there, select the option that says " from URL". Go ahead and paste the URL from the Ours Calendar in that space.
✅ You're all set and your Ours Calendar should be visible to you on your personal email!
