What is Google Calendar sync in Bird?

In Bird Pickup & Delivery, the Shopify app by BirdChime, Google Calendar sync adds each scheduled order to Google Calendar as an event, at the date and time the customer picked. Events carry customer details, the method and order details, and each store location can use its own calendar.

What shows up in Google Calendar?

Each scheduled order, as an event at the time the customer picked.

  • At the right time

    Events sit on the pickup or delivery date and time slot from the order.

  • Order details

    Events include customer details, the delivery method, order items and pickup or delivery times.

  • Automatic

    Once connected, new orders sync on their own. There's nothing to export.

  • Next to everything else

    Your orders sit alongside your other appointments in the same Google Calendar.

What does a synced event look like?

Examples built from the help center's own variables and calendar names.

  • An event titleScale only

    A title built from {{order_name}} and {{attributes['Delivery Method']}} reads "#1001 - Pickup" in your calendar.

  • The descriptionScale only

    Add {{attributes['Delivery Time']}}, {{total_price}}, {{shipping_address.address1}} and {{note}} so drivers see the slot, total, address and order note.

  • Two storesScale only

    Create "Downtown Store" and "Westside Location" calendars in Google, then pick one for each location in Bird.

  • Names off the titleScale only

    Remove the customer name variables from the title. The name stays in the description if you want it there.

Can each store have its own calendar?

Yes. Pick a Google calendar for each location in Bird.

  • One calendar per storeScale only

    Under Internal notifications in each location's settings, choose the calendar its orders go to.

  • One Google account

    Different stores can use different calendars, but all of them belong to the one Google account you signed in with.

  • Different schedules

    Works whether your stores share one schedule or each has its own.

Can I choose what each event says?

Yes. Edit the event title and description with order variables.

  • Title and descriptionScale only

    The summary is the event title; the description is what staff see when they open the event.

  • Order variablesScale only

    Order number, customer first and last name, method, date, time slot, total, address, city, phone and order note.

  • PrivacyScale only

    Keep customer names off event titles, for calendars that more people can see.

Why use Google Calendar instead of a report?

It's a way to see and share the schedule without opening a CSV.

  • Team visibility

    Calendar sync gives your team the delivery schedule in a tool they already use.

  • No spreadsheet

    The help center lists it as the non-CSV way to view and share schedule data.

  • Reports still thereGrowth & up

    For prep lists and order details by email, use Bird's exports and automated reports.

Where else can I see scheduled orders?

In Bird's own Orders calendar, in Shopify admin and in staff emails.

  • Bird's Orders calendar

    Per-day counts for Pick Up, Delivery and Shipping, with a click through to each day's orders.

  • Shopify order page

    The date, time and method appear on the order in your Shopify admin.

  • Staff emails

    Staff notification emails can include the customer's chosen date, time and method.

  • Customer accounts

    Customers can see their date and time in their customer account.

How is this different from Bird's own Orders calendar?

Bird's calendar counts orders by day. Google Calendar shows each order as an event your team can share.

FAQ

What else do merchants ask about Google Calendar sync?

How can I see my Shopify pickup and delivery orders in Google Calendar?

Can I use a separate calendar for each store?

Yes. Create a calendar for each store in Google, then choose it under Internal notifications in each location's settings in Bird. Location calendars are on Scale.

Can I use a different Google account for each store?
