Live

Put workshop bookings on the calendar advisors already live in

Advisors live in calendar apps. Workshop Wrench exports bookings as ICS so diary visibility extends beyond the app — Live export, not a claim of full Google two-way sync.

Primary persona: Service advisor

The problem

What breaks without this process

Bookings exist only inside the shop system; phone calendars stay empty and double-books happen.

Why it matters

Rationale — profit, risk, and shop floor truth

  1. 01

    ICS is the interoperable path without building every calendar vendor UI.

  2. 02

    Reduces “I didn’t know we had a 3pm” failures.

  3. 03

    Pairs with public online booking intake.

Is Google Calendar two-way sync live?+

No. ICS export is Live. Full Google sync remains a later partner/planned path — do not market Connected Google sync today.
