Calendar integration

Your calendar keeps the time. SureShow keeps the truth.

Preview Calendar import is simulated in a prototype only. It is not working on the live site. It does not turn on with Telnyx, and it is not on now.

SureShow is not another calendar. Preview Import from Google Calendar or any .ics file is simulated in a prototype only. It is not working in the live product. Mirroring green, yellow, and red back onto the calendar event is part of that same preview.

Last updated: October 20, 2026. Live texting is still waiting on Telnyx. Calendar import does not work without Telnyx either. It is preview.

The flow organizers actually want

1. 1 Schedule as you already do Create the visit in Google Calendar, Jobber, Apple Calendar, or export .ics.
2. 2 Import into SureShow In the prototype only, simulated events can show time, place, and phone numbers. This is not live.
3. 3 Record verbal SMS consent Calendar import never authorizes texts. The organizer confirms verbal permission first.
4. 4 Collect confirmations & travel updates Board turns green / yellow / red from replies and crew actions (live SMS after carrier approval).
5. 5 Mirror status back to Google Preview only: a prototype can show emoji codes and event colors. Google is not updated from the live product.

What you see on Google Calendar

Google does not allow fully custom “orbs,” but it does support:

• Event colors from Google’s fixed palette (mapped to green / yellow / red).
• Emoji and short codes in the event title — visible on phone and desktop.
• Notes in the description for longer SureShow status detail (optional).

🟢 [OK] Lee showing – 77 Pinecrest
🟡 [?] Ramirez AC estimate
🔴 [!] James emergency – reschedule risk
⚪ [C] New lead – consent needed before text

Organizers who live in Google all day can glance at the calendar and know which visits are actually ready — without replacing Jobber, Calendly, or their existing schedule.

Supported calendar sources (roadmap)

• Now in the app prototype: Simulated Google day import, .ics paste/import, status mirror preview.
• Next: Google Calendar OAuth (read events, optional write for color/title).
• Then: Jobber and other field tools where APIs allow; Apple via .ics export or device calendar APIs.

Consent still comes first

Dumping a calendar into SureShow puts people on the board. It does not opt them into SMS. The business records affirmative verbal consent (or digital consent) before any SureShow text is sent. See the full process on the SMS Consent Process page.

What SureShow is not

• Not a CRM or dispatch replacement.
• Not live GPS or guaranteed minute-perfect ETAs.
• Not marketing blasts from your calendar contacts.
