Connect your calendar
Connect once so customers can book you when you are free.
First: sign in to your own 101 account. Your account needs to be linked to your coach, hitting-partner or photographer profile for 101 booking updates.
Open My timetableChoose your calendar
Photographers must connect Google Calendar and allow more than 48 hours for bookings. Open the photographer setup guide →
You can keep using your usual calendar app. Connect the account that holds your appointments.
- Google / Gmail: use Connect Google Calendar.
- Apple / iCloud: use Connect Apple / iCloud Calendar.
Not sure on iPhone? Open Apple Calendar and tap Calendars at the bottom. Look for iCloud or Gmail. You can connect both if you keep appointments in both. Appointments stored only “On My iPhone” must be moved to iCloud or Google first.
Google / Gmail setup
- Open My timetable on 101 and tap Connect Google Calendar.
- Choose the Google account where you keep your appointments.
- Allow both calendar permissions, then tap Continue.
- Back on 101, tick the calendars with your appointments. Tap Save Google calendars.
- Tap Check Google connection. You should see “Google checked successfully”.
Apple / iCloud setup
Keep your main iCloud calendar and your existing appointments. There is no need to move them to Google.
You need your iPhone, your Apple Account email and password, and access to your trusted phone number. Apple requires two-factor authentication before you can create the special password for 101. This means Apple checks it is you with a verification code.
Watch the Apple password setup video ↗
The video is about iCloud Mail. Use it to help with Apple’s special-password setup, then follow the 101 calendar steps below. You do not need to set up email for 101.
1. Turn on iCloud Calendar
- On your iPhone, open Settings and tap your name at the top. If you are not signed in, sign in to the Apple Account you use for your calendar.
- Tap iCloud → See All (or Show All) → iCloud Calendar. Turn on Use on this iPhone. On older iPhones, the switch may simply say Calendars. If it is already on, leave it on.
- Open the Calendar app and tap Calendars at the bottom. Check that the calendar with your appointments is under iCloud. Appointments saved only “On My iPhone” need to be moved to an iCloud calendar first. Allow your phone to finish syncing.
2. Turn on Apple’s two-factor authentication
- Go back to Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication. Older iPhones may call this section Password & Security.
- If it already says On, you can go straight to step 3 below. Otherwise, tap Turn On Two-Factor Authentication and follow Apple’s prompts.
- Confirm a phone number where you can receive a text message or phone call. Choose how to receive the code, then enter the code Apple sends you to finish setup.
Using a Mac? Open System Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication and follow the prompts. Apple’s two-factor authentication help
3. Create a special password for 101
- Open account.apple.com in your browser. Sign in with the same Apple Account you checked on your iPhone.
- If Apple asks, approve the sign-in on your trusted device and enter the verification code on Apple’s website. You can also use Apple’s option to send a code to your trusted phone number.
- Open Sign-In and Security → App-Specific Passwords. Tap Generate an app-specific password or the + button.
- Enter 101 Racquet Club as the name, then follow Apple’s prompts. If asked to confirm your normal Apple password, enter it only on Apple’s website.
- Copy the new special password Apple shows you. This is the password to paste into 101. Do not use your normal Apple password on 101.
Cannot see App-Specific Passwords? Check that two-factor authentication is on for this same Apple Account, then sign in to Apple’s website again. Apple’s app-specific password help
4. Connect it to 101
- Return to My timetable on 101, signed in to your own 101 account. Tap Connect Apple / iCloud Calendar.
- Enter your Apple Account email and paste the special password you just created.
- Read and tick the permission box, then tap Connect Apple.
- Tick every iCloud calendar that contains appointments when you cannot work, including your main calendar. Tap Save Apple calendars.
- Wait for “Apple calendars checked and saved”. Setup is complete. Keep adding appointments and time off to those calendars, and mark them Busy.
Only paste the special Apple password into the 101 website. Do not send it to reception or in a chat. 101 stores it encrypted and uses the calendar connection to calculate busy times. This Apple connection can read calendar event data; 101 does not save or show appointment names, notes or locations. It does not change your personal events. If you separately enable automatic booking updates, 101 creates and updates a dedicated calendar with your 101 sessions.
After you connect
- Add appointments, days off and travel time to a calendar you selected. Mark time you cannot work as Busy.
- Keep making appointments in your usual calendar. You do not need to enter them again on 101.
- 101 checks your calendar when showing booking times and before accepting a new booking. Your phone must finish syncing changes first.
- The club sets opening hours. You do not need to set working hours.
Example: you add a busy appointment from 2–3pm. Once it has synced, customers cannot book you from 2–3pm.
Customers see your available times, not your appointment names or notes. Connecting does not copy existing iCloud events into Google. To put 101 bookings on your phone automatically, enable the separate booking calendar below.
If something is wrong
- An appointment is missing: check that it is saved in a selected calendar and marked Busy.
- Apple’s special-password option is missing: turn on two-factor authentication in your Apple Account. Apple’s instructions
- You changed your Apple password: create a new app-specific password and reconnect Apple on 101.
- 101 says it cannot check your calendar: reconnect or contact reception. New bookings are paused while a connected calendar cannot be checked.
- A personal appointment clashes with a confirmed 101 session: contact reception. Adding it to your phone does not cancel the 101 booking.
To stop sharing, use Disconnect on My timetable. Your appointments will then stop blocking new bookings, and automatic booking updates for that account will stop. Existing 101 calendar entries remain but no longer update. For Apple, also remove the “101 Racquet Club” app-specific password from your Apple Account.
Show 101 bookings on your calendar automatically
Do this once. You will still receive booking emails, but you will not need to add every email to your calendar.
- Open My timetable on 101 and find Automatically add my 101 bookings.
- Tick the permission box. Choose Use Google Calendar or Use Apple / iCloud Calendar.
- Google: choose your Google account and allow both requested permissions. Apple: connect your iCloud account using the Apple steps above first, then choose it for booking updates.
- Wait about two minutes. Open your calendar app, open its calendar list, and tick 101 bookings. On iPhone, tap Calendars at the bottom. Make sure the Google or iCloud account you chose is also added to your phone.
Confirmed sessions appear with the client, time and court. Changes update the same entry. Cancelled or reassigned sessions are marked cancelled and stop blocking time; Apple may hide them. Your phone may take a little longer to refresh.
Change bookings through 101. Your personal appointments are not changed. Keep 101 bookings out of your personal busy-time selection. If you previously added the old 101 sessions subscription, remove it from your calendar app to avoid two copies.
To stop, tap Stop automatic calendar updates. Existing entries remain but no longer update. You can remove the 101 bookings calendar in your calendar app.
