Set up your photography calendar
Connect Google Calendar so players can book photo sessions when you are available.
First: sign in to your own 101 account. Open your photographer profile and choose Email & calendar. You can keep signing in with LINE or Facebook; connecting Google Calendar does not change your 101 sign-in.
Open my photographer profileGoogle Calendar is required
Choose the Google account where you keep your photo shoots and other appointments. Select every calendar with times you cannot work, including travel time and days off, and mark those times Busy.
Photographers must be booked and paid more than 48 hours before the session starts. Confirmed sessions stay booked. For example, a Sunday 17:00 photo session must be booked and paid before Friday 17:00, Bangkok time.
Google / Gmail setup
- Open My profile → Email & calendar 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”.
Block the same busy days every week
Set this once in Google Calendar for regular days off, other photo shoots or weekly commitments.

- Open Google Calendar using the same Google account connected to 101. Create an Event called “Unavailable” or “Day off”.
- Choose the first date and the hours you cannot work. For a whole day off, turn on All day. Include any travel time.
- Open Does not repeat and choose Weekly on that day. Use Custom → Repeat every 1 week to select several days each week. On a phone, this may be under More options.
- Set your availability to Busy, including for all-day events. Save it in one of the Google calendars you selected for 101 availability checks.
- Tap Save and allow Google Calendar to sync. 101 will exclude those busy times when showing new photography bookings.
Example: every Monday off → create a Monday event → All day → Weekly on Monday → Busy → Save.
To change one day, edit that occurrence and choose “This event”. To change the ongoing pattern, choose “This and following events” when offered, or “All events”. Existing confirmed 101 sessions stay booked; contact reception if there is a conflict.
Google’s repeating-event instructions →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. 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.
- 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.
If you disconnect Google, new photography bookings are paused until you reconnect and save your calendars. Automatic Google booking updates stop; existing confirmed 101 sessions stay booked.
The following step is optional. It displays confirmed photo sessions in your calendar; your Google availability connection above is what lets us check when you are free.
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.
- Google: choose your Google account and allow both requested permissions.
- 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 same Google account 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. 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.
