Connecting Google or iCal
Open /app/calendar → Connect calendar. Google goes through OAuth — accept the read/write scopes and your events sync both directions within 60 seconds. Disconnect from the same screen if you ever need to revoke.
For iCloud, Outlook, or any other CalDAV provider, copy the PropQuest iCal feed URL at the bottom of the connect modal and subscribe to it from your provider's calendar settings. That subscription is read-only — events created in PropQuest appear there, but events you create on the iCloud side won't flow back. Google is two-way; iCal subscriptions are one-way.
Creating an event
Click any empty time slot in the grid for a quick-add: title, start/end, location, notes. Hit Link to attach a property or contact — the event card then deep-links back to the report.
Inviting a co-investor or partner adds them as a guest and emails them the calendar invite. Guests outside your PropQuest team get a standard .ics attachment; teammates get the event in their PropQuest calendar automatically.
Showings, closings, and follow-ups
Three event types, each unlocking a different sidebar:
- Showing — pulls directions to the property, the lockbox code (if saved), and the seller's phone for the day-of confirmation text
- Closing — surfaces the contract checklist (signed PA, EMD wired, title clear, insurance bound) so you don't show up missing a doc
- Follow-up — creates a reminder that fires in the bell + as an optional SMS to you, then auto-completes when you mark the underlying task done
Picking the right type matters less than picking a type — untyped events still show on the grid, they just don't unlock the sidebar.
Recurring events
Set up a recurrence from the event detail panel: daily, weekly, monthly, custom (e.g. every other Tuesday). Recurring events are useful for things like weekly market reviews, monthly KPI check-ins, or a daily 7am "review yesterday's calls" reminder.
Editing a recurring event prompts you to apply the change to this event only, this and future, or the whole series — same pattern as Google Calendar. Deleting works the same way.
Reminders and the bell
The bell icon in the top nav aggregates follow-up reminders across calendar events, dialer callbacks, and contract tasks. Click a reminder to jump to the source; Snooze punts it (15 min / 1 hour / tomorrow / next week); Dismiss clears the reminder without touching the event.
The event stays on the calendar even after you dismiss the reminder — you're hiding the nag, not the appointment. Re-arm a dismissed reminder from the event detail panel.
Scheduling links for showings
Create a public scheduling link from /app/calendar → Scheduling links. Define your available windows (e.g. weekdays 9am-5pm minus your existing events), the duration (15 / 30 / 45 / 60 min), and the buffer between bookings.
Send the link to a seller or buyer; they pick a slot and the event drops into your calendar with their name, phone, and any intake-form answers attached. Useful for property showings, partner intros, and onboarding calls when "what time works?" turns into seven emails.
Multiple calendars
Layer as many as you want. Most users end up with three: Personal (read-only from Google), PropQuest (showings, closings, follow-ups), Team (Enterprise shared). Each calendar gets a color in the legend — toggle visibility from the sidebar to declutter.
Color coding follows the source calendar, not the event type. If you want showings green and closings red regardless of which calendar they live on, override per-event from the detail panel.
Team availability
On Enterprise plans, the Team tab shows all teammates' calendars layered so you can see who's free at a glance. Hover anyone's name in the sidebar to peek their next 24 hours without leaving your view.
If your team books showings for each other (e.g. acquisitions sets the appointment, dispo runs the visit), use Find time from any event — it scans the relevant teammates' calendars and proposes the next 3-5 free slots. One click books across both calendars.
Mobile
PropQuest doesn't have a native mobile calendar yet — the iCal feed is the bridge. Subscribe to the feed from iOS Calendar or Google Calendar on your phone and PropQuest events show up alongside personal ones.
The feed updates every 15 minutes on the provider side (Apple, Google), so a brand-new event might lag for a few minutes before showing on your phone. Anything you tap to create in the mobile app stays in that app — round-tripping back to PropQuest only works for the Google two-way connection.
