Ability to rename calendar events
Maciej Bukczynski
Let's face it, we don't always receive the best-named meeting invites. I love adding meetings as tasks into my daily plan, but when I've accepted a meeting named "Re: project", that's an ugly stain on agenda. I'd want to rename it to "Meet with Joe about Project X", but alas, Joe didn't consider my delicate needs when he automatically converted some email thread into a calendar invite. I shouldn't have to suffer for Joe's lack of foresight! 😆

This would be a great. I have a similar problem. My workplace only let's me share my events as "Busy" or "Tentative" blocks on the calendar... I would like to be able to rename them (locally) in Sunsama; i.e., "Standup" and "Boring meeting", etc. I don't need to touch the original event.

Hi Maciej Bukczynski, as long as you have write access to the originating calendar, you should be able to edit the name of events! Or are you specifically referring to meetings you're invited to and do NOT have write access to the original event?

Thanks, Alex Cunningham! It's good to know that my own calendar events can be renamed right from Sunsama! But indeed, I am referring to events I've been invited to rather than created myself, and thus don't have access to change the name in the calendar itself.
Something like the example I gave above is maybe more of an exception than norm, but I do regularly find myself invited to meetings where the topic just lacks specificity. For example, I've been invited to a meeting next week called "Metrics Tracking" and this would mean something completely different to me if it came from the customer success team, the product team, or the management team. I don't love having these vague blobs in my daily plan and tweaking the descriptions would help me think through my day more clearly.
I notice a parallel you already have with the GMail integration, that the email subject is distinct from the task name and can already be given a Sunsama task name. I was imagining the same sort of functionality might be possible from the calendar perspective as well.
