Notes

- You can't synchronize the same calendar on 2 different apps GoodBarber unless you use 2 different gmail addresses.
- You can add several booking sections on the same app.
- Automatic emails are sent automatically to all Admins of the back office (Admin must be allowed to receive administrative notification) when a appointment has been booked (Users of the back office don't receive them).
- Reseller: make sure to add your clients to the back office as Admin so they can be notified when someone has booked an appointment. If you'd like as a reseller to receive the notification emails too, you want to enable the Administrative notifications from Content apps in the menu Settings > Your Agency of the reseller dashboard.
