Use cases/How two-way sync works

How two-way calendar sync works across companies

One room is shared by several companies, and each company has its own calendar system. Sync is where a booking tool earns trust or loses it, so here is exactly how Naboro keeps every calendar honest.

What sync does

Each room lives on one shared calendar in Naboro, and that calendar is always the one that counts. Every company that pays for sync connects its own calendar (Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, or CalDAV), and from then on a change in either calendar shows up in the other:

Changes move in seconds, not on an hourly schedule. A meeting moved in Outlook updates the shared calendar, and the tablet at the door, before you reach the corridor.

How conflicts are resolved

The interesting case is two companies' calendars claiming the same slot. The rule is strict and simple: the room can hold one meeting. The first booking to reach the shared calendar wins. The other one is declined in its home calendar, where the organizer sees it right away and can pick another slot. What never happens is the classic failure where both calendars show "confirmed" and two teams meet at the same door. The same rule applies inside Naboro itself: the server rejects overlapping bookings.

Your meeting details stay private

Connecting your calendar doesn't open it up to the other companies. When you book a room, they see that it's taken, until when, and who booked it, meaning a name and a company. What the meeting is about, who's coming, and any notes or attachments stay in your own calendar. Nobody else in the building ever sees them.

Every change is logged

Any system that writes into your calendar should be able to explain itself. Everything sync does in Naboro is logged, showing what was added, changed, or removed, and in which calendar. When someone asks why an event moved, the answer is a log entry, not a guess.

How to set up sync

  1. Book for free first. Sync is an add-on, not a requirement. The whole building can book on the shared calendar without it.
  2. Connect your company's calendar. A company admin signs in to Google or Microsoft and picks which calendar backs each room.
  3. Let both sides catch up. Your existing meetings appear on the shared calendar, shared bookings appear in yours, and the log shows exactly what happened.

Sync is priced per company, as a flat fee. Each company in the building decides on its own whether its calendar joins. Companies that skip it keep booking for free. See pricing.
