With our Sync Calendar feature, you can easily sync your TherapyNotes schedule to your smart phone or favorite calendar software, allowing you to view your schedule on the go or access your schedule even if TherapyNotes is unavailable.
Any clinical user (Clinicians and Clinical Administrators) can sync their TherapyNotes calendar to an external device or program. Practice Administrators and Practice Schedulers may sync each clinical user's calendar individually or sync the calendar for the entire practice to an external device or program.
Please note that, for your security, this feature only allows a one-way sync from TherapyNotes to the external device or program. Because we cannot verify the security of third-party calendar programs, we do not allow these programs to push information into TherapyNotes. Any changes made to your calendar through the external device or program will not be reflected in TherapyNotes. To add, delete, or modify an appointment or event on your TherapyNotes calendar, you must log in to TherapyNotes.
To sync your TherapyNotes calendar with an external device or program:
- Click Settings > Sync Calendar With Other Applications > Enable Synchronization With Other Programs
- Under Program and Device-Specific Instructions, follow the steps for your chosen device or program or refer to the instructions provided below

External Calendar Security
Because our Sync Calendar feature is designed to help you conveniently access your schedule from anywhere on your own device, we've taken precautions to protect your security and your clients' privacy.
- If your device has been stolen, if your external calendar program has been compromised, or if you mistakenly sent the calendar link to an unauthorized party, you can easily deactivate the calendar link to prevent unwanted access. Simply click Settings > Sync Calendar With Other Applications and click the Reset Access button to generate a new link. Note that all devices and programs previously synced with your TherapyNotes calendar must be re-synced if access is reset
- To avoid providing unauthorized access to client appointment details, only the initials of your clients will appear on your external device or program
- As stated previously, we do not allow unverified external programs to push information into TherapyNotes. Because of this, any changes made to your calendar through the external device or program will not be reflected in TherapyNotes
