Calendar Settings
Calendar Settings
Manage calendars from Settings, and see how this differs from Appointments and calendar connections.
What is Calendar Settings?
Settings → Calendar is where you manage calendars and scheduling setup for your brand. Open it at app.swai.ai/setting/calendar.
You use it to:
- Create and edit calendars for your brand
- Continue setup prompts that send you here to connect a calendar
- Tell this page apart from Appointments and from connecting Google or Outlook

|---|---|
