Why a shared calendar matters

One week, one view, one source of truth.

01

Where the week already lives

If the family plans in Google Calendar, this is the obvious home for visits. No second tool to check.

02

Family Sharing built-in

Google Calendar's sharing is mature: invite by email, granular permissions, per-person reminder preferences.

03

Notifications on every device

Calendar pushes to phone, watch, smart speaker. The night-before reminder reaches everyone.

04

Free with Google

Google Calendar is free for personal use. The relay (Zapier free tier) is also free. Total cost: zero.

A normal Tuesday

Visit at 14:00, between standup and the school run.

James visits Mum at 14:00. The entry sits in the family calendar next to your 1pm work meeting and the 15:30 school pickup. You see the day at a glance, in the colour-coded grid you already trust.

Colour-coded by visitor for fast scanning.
Updates propagate when a visit is rescheduled in Getwello.
Cancel a visit in Getwello, the calendar entry deletes.
Subscribe family members by email for shared visibility.

How to set it up

The high level. Full walkthrough in the help guide.

01
Step 1 of 4
Create a dedicated Google Calendar.
In Google Calendar: + Add → Create new calendar. Name it 'Mum visits' or similar. Share it with the family at this point.
02
Step 2 of 4
Set up the relay in Zapier.
Webhook trigger → Google Calendar action. Map the Getwello event fields (visit start, end, visitor name) to the calendar event fields.
03
Step 3 of 4
Create the Getwello webhook subscription.
Settings → Developer API → Webhooks. URL is the Zapier Catch Hook. Tick visit.created (and visit.updated when we ship it).
04
Step 4 of 4
Test, colour-code, share.
Click Test. A sample event lands in the calendar. Adjust the colour and description templates, invite the family, you're done.

Frequently asked questions

One-way or two-way sync?

v1 is one-way: Getwello visits sync into Google Calendar. Two-way would mean Calendar events feeding back to Getwello, which is on the roadmap but not urgent for most families.

Will it dedupe across days?

Yes. The Zapier or Worker relay uses the Getwello visit ID as the Google event ID, so updating a visit updates the same calendar entry rather than creating a duplicate.

Can the family share the calendar?

Yes. Create a dedicated 'Mum visits' Google Calendar, share it with the family. Each member can subscribe and choose their own notification preferences.

Does it work with Google Workspace accounts?

Yes. Same setup either way. If you're using Workspace at home, even better; Google Calendar's family-share features improve.

What about colour-coding visits by visitor?

Yes, when creating events the relay can set an event colour per visitor. James visits in blue, Chloe in red, anyone else in grey. Easier to scan the week.

Some families wire two or three at the same time. The webhook fans out, the API keys stay the same.
