Calendar Integrations

Connect the calendar you already use, and your Space Penguin listing stays in sync automatically — whenever your calendar is busy, that time can't be booked here.

No double bookings

Busy times on your calendar are blocked from booking automatically.

Always in sync

Set it up once — availability updates itself, no manual blocking.

Private by design

We only see when you’re busy — never event names or details.

Setup guide

Google Calendar

Works with any Google Calendar — a dedicated room calendar or your own. Three steps and you're synced.

  1. Copy the sharing address

    Open your listing’s Availability page, choose the Google Calendar tab and copy the Space Penguin calendar sharing address.

    Copy the Space Penguin calendar sharing address

  2. Share your calendar

    In Google Calendar under My calendars, hover the calendar for this room or listing and click the ⋮ menu, then choose Settings and sharing. Under “Share with specific people or groups”, add the copied address, set permission to “See only free/busy (hide details)” and click Send.

    Hover your calendar under My calendars and open the three-dot menu
    Choose Settings and sharing from the calendar menu
    Add the sharing address with See only free/busy and click Send

  3. Paste the Calendar ID

    On the same settings page, scroll to “Integrate calendar” and copy the Calendar ID (it looks like abc123@group.calendar.google.com or a Gmail address). Paste it into Space Penguin and press Connect — busy times start blocking bookings straight away.

    Copy the Calendar ID from the Integrate calendar section
