Nobody books you when you are already busy
Put a dentist appointment in your own calendar — Google Calendar or iPhone (iCloud) — and Slotora stops offering that hour. Your Slotora bookings travel the other way, into the same calendar, so one calendar shows your whole day. Slotora keeps only the times you are busy, never what the appointment is. Outlook gets a read-only feed of your bookings.
Sign up freeThe hour you are out is an hour nobody can book
Slotora checks your Google or iPhone calendar every fifteen minutes and closes the hours it shows you as busy. It is not instant: something you add to your calendar now disappears from your booking page on the next check, so within about a quarter of an hour.
We keep only the times you are busy
Google answers Slotora with times and nothing else: no titles, no descriptions, no locations, no guest lists — the permission we hold does not return them. Your iPhone's calendar (iCloud) sends the events themselves, so Slotora works out when you are busy and keeps only the times; titles, guests and locations are never stored. Either way, “Dentist, 2pm” is kept as “busy, 2pm to 3pm”.
Your bookings, inside your own calendar
Slotora makes one extra calendar called Slotora — in your Google account or in your iCloud — and writes your appointments there, so they sit beside the rest of your week. Each one shows the guest's name and the service, never the guest's phone number. It is our calendar rather than yours: Slotora writes nothing anywhere else in your account, and you can hide it or recolour it like any other.
Your calendar, not the salon's
You connect your own Google account or iPhone calendar, and it closes only your hours. Nobody can connect anybody else's — and if you work alongside colleagues, each of them connects theirs whenever they want to.
iPhone (iCloud) works both ways too
Apple has no sign-in button for other apps, so you create a password just for Slotora — an app-specific password — at account.apple.com and paste it in once. We store it encrypted, and you can revoke it at Apple whenever you like. The first check runs straight after you connect. Outlook subscribes to a private iCal link that shows your Slotora bookings, and nothing travels back from it.
Free, like the platform
Two-way sync with Google and iPhone (iCloud) and the iCal feed are all part of the free platform — no add-on, no upgrade, and every team member can connect their own.
