SIMCOAI can now send live bookings into your Fresha calendar as blocked time, with no extra SIMCOAI add-on charge. Copy the private calendar link from Integrations, add it to Fresha as an external ICS calendar, and Fresha keeps the availability up to date.
The connection uses Fresha’s supported calendar import. It is one-way from SIMCOAI to Fresha, so it never depends on an unofficial or private Fresha API.
What changed
The Fresha connection lets appointments captured in SIMCOAI appear as blocked time in a Fresha calendar. This helps a business that uses SIMCOAI for phone bookings and Fresha for its working diary keep those bookings visible in both places.
The connection uses an external calendar subscription. Fresha reads the private calendar feed and refreshes it on its own schedule; this is a calendar import rather than a second booking form or a two-way account connection.
Before and after
Before this update: This SIMCOAI-to-Fresha calendar connection was not available. A business using both calendars had to manage the relationship between its SIMCOAI bookings and Fresha diary separately.
With this update: You can copy the private calendar link from Integrations and subscribe to it in Fresha as an external ICS calendar, without an extra SIMCOAI add-on charge.
What it means for you
Add the link to the intended Fresha calendar and confirm that an existing SIMCOAI booking appears as blocked time. Keep the link private because it provides access to the calendar feed.
The flow is one-way from SIMCOAI to Fresha. It does not import Fresha appointments into SIMCOAI or promise instant refreshes, so account for Fresha’s refresh timing when managing availability.
