Summary

Learn how to enable Box+Dice’s two‑way calendar integration with Google Calendar or Office 365, see where your events appear, and control invitations to contacts.

This article covers:


How it works

Box+Dice supports two‑way syncing of your agency calendar (inspections, appraisals, auctions, and appointments) with either Google Calendar or Microsoft Office 365 (Outlook), so updates flow between Box+Dice and your calendar of choice.

When you first enable the integration, appointments in your Box+Dice calendar (including inspections, appraisals, auctions and appointments) will be synchronised to your Office365 or Google calendar. This includes:

  • All past appointments from the beginning of the current calendar month
  • All future appointments

You will see a new calendar available in Google or Outlook called Box+Dice. This is where your Box+Dice appointments can be seen; appointments you create there will be visible in Box+Dice too.

Changes you make to events in Google Calendar or Outlook on the Box+Dice calendar reflect back in Box+Dice.

Note: Deleting an OFI appointment in Gmail/Outlook does not delete the inspection itself or update portals; make such deletions within Box+Dice to ensure inspection records and portal feeds remain accurate. 

Enable the integration

To enable the integration

  • Click your name in the side bar to access your Staff Card
  • Click the Configure button next to the Linked Account option
  • Select your Provider (Google or Office 365)
  •  Tick Calendars to enable
  • Tick Send invitations to Contacts via your email client if you want your Gmail/Outlook to send invites automatically to contacts on each Auction, Appointment, or Appraisal

If you have 'Send invitations to Contacts via your email client' ticked every change you make to the appointment in B+D will be emailed to the contact associated with the Appointment.

  • Click Save & Authorise, then follow the provider prompts to grant Box+Dice access to your business calendar
Note: Email me reminders with iCal attachments is disabled while integration is on—because your calendar is now syncing directly.
Tip: If your Apple device is set to sync the same calendar via another account (e.g., a separate CalDAV/Exchange profile), disable the duplicate source to avoid double entries.
