2-way Calendar Sync
closed
AndyDaSilva52 😎
I miss the option to sync two calendars with Sunsama.
The apps:
- Calendly
- Reclaim.ai
- Motion
Has this feature!
The motivation is mainly because the integration between the different services doesn't allow a better experience.
- Example, Office 365 allow just the default calendar from your Personal Account to be seeing in your Work Account:

Hi, I'd still really like this. It's nice to automatically block time on my work calendar if I have a personal event

Ashutosh Priyadarshy: I think you closed this prematurely. This feature would be very helpful. Otherwise, I'll have to move to another app to sync my work and personal calendars

Michael Michael: This post was marked as closed because we don't plan to implement this not because it was completed.
Let me try and explain why!
Sunsama lets you integrate as many Outlook/Google calendars as you want.
Sunsama lets you configure which calendar a working session gets created on. For example a task in your #work channel gets scheduled to your someone@work.com calendar and a task in your #personal channel would automatically be scheduled to your someone@gmail.com calendar.
We believe this is sufficient cross-calendar functionality for the daily planning use case.
This post seems to be asking for Sunsama to replicate items on one calendar to another calendar. That's not Sunsama's job as a daily planner and we recommend that folks use a different product that can synchronize different calendars in that way.

Ashutosh Priyadarshy: You can refer people to Calendar Bridge as a product that can solve this problem if they need items to be sync'd across multiple calendars. That's what I've added and it makes using Sunsama BEAUTIFUL to adjust across my multiple work calendars.

It's possible to add as many calendar integrations as you want in Sunsama. If you are having trouble, please email our support team so we can show you how to do this!

Ashutosh Priyadarshy: I'm talking about a feature to sync two different calendars from Google or Outlook.
For example: I have the
Default
calendar at my Outlook Work. My tasks from Sunsama are added to the Google Calendar called Tasks (Sunsama)
. I need a tool to sync the events from the
Tasks (Sunsama)
to Default
to show as free/busy
time to my co-workers.AndyDaSilva52 😎
Ashutosh Priyadarshy: Motion offers this feature, I don't understand why this isn't something Sunsama could offer.

AndyDaSilva52 😎: There's a setting for this under "Timeboxing" in your account settings.

Ashutosh Priyadarshy: I didn't understand this "Timeboxing" feature as something that solve my problem, I understood that you are talking about the options:
- Availability: Calendar events created from tasks
- Privacy: Calendar events created from tasks
The thing I asked in this improvement request is to Sunsama have the ability to sync two different calendars, like for example
Calendly
has and also Mention
or Reclaim ai
has.The motivation for that is because, when I have my
personal calendar
and work calendar
, the events from one or others are not shown as block time
.Let's suppose I have a different calendar for a specific topic, like
swimming class
, and I want to show that I'm not available in my personal
calendar, I need some kind of option to sync the calendars. But I don't want to subscribe Calendly just for that.AndyDaSilva52 😎
Ashutosh Priyadarshy: Maybe when a calendar could be linked to many
channel/context
as commented in the other improvement request, I could change my usage and create different channel/context
for the other activities I have like #fitness, #studing and many others that are linked to the same calendar ( personal
).
