Link channel to a specific calendar

complete
You can now keep your work tasks on your work calendar and your personal tasks on your personal calendar.
Each of your calendars can be linked to a specific channel. So you can link your @company.com work calendar to your #work context, and you can link your @gmail.com personal calendar to your #personal context.
Once you've linked a calendar to a channel/context, when you schedule a task in that channel/context to your calendar, it will automatically be scheduled to the linked calendar.
All of this can be configured from your calendar settings page.

Travis Meyer: Fantastic, thank you!

Travis Meyer: Congrats on the release! Awesome work
Felicita Recordati
Travis Meyer: That's great!! Is there a way to link more than one channel to a calendar? For instance, I have link my #personal channel to my personal calendar, but I would also like to link my #fitness channel to my personal calendar. Thanks!
Travis Meyer
Felicita Recordati: alas you can only link one calendar per channel.
If you were to link both your #personal channel and your #fitness channel to your personal calendar, when you import a task from your personal calendar, it's indeterminate whether to tag it in #personal or #fitness.

Travis Meyer: Maybe if there's a default channel/context for the calendar, you can link as many as you want. So, it will allow:
- Add a task to #fitness will add an event to personal calendar.
- Add a task to #personal will add an event to personal calendar.
- Add an event from personal calendar will add a task to #personal (default channel/context for that calendar)
Travis Meyer
AndyDaSilva52 😎: true, adding an additional setting for default channel/context when importing from a specific calendar would allow us to support this. It's something we might consider in the future, but decided to hold off because it's a pretty complex setting!

Felicita Recordati: This feature with another, it would be remarkable.
Stefan O
Travis Meyer: Hoping you guys are still planning to add this feature? As AndyDaSilva52 😎 said below, It would be really useful to have multiple calendars tagged with the same channel. Specifically, if I have #work as the root channel, and #workA and #workB as subchannels, shouldn't they both get assigned to the calendar that #work is assigned to?
Travis Meyer
Stefan O: we don't have any definitive plans to add this nuance, but it's something we'll consider adding in the future. I've added your vote to the relevant feature request we have open for this to bump up the likelihood it gets built.

This would convince me that Sunsama is perfect for my work and personal life - 'cause right now my work and personal tasks are all in one calendar is I don't like it.

Linking a channel to a specific calendar is on our roadmap for 2022.

Add a default channel (per calendar) for meetings
I use a #meetings channel for all of my work meetings. It would be great if there was a default channel for these so I don't have to assign the channel on a daily basis. However, this should be a per calendar setting as I have this channel in the work context, but could have personal meetings which would have it's own channel.

This is the number one feature I need, having to go in and change the calendar each time for personal tasks is the worst.

Elly Loel: I agree. I spend a bit of time recategorizing tasks.
James Polley
100% want this. I use Sunsama to track work across my day job, a charity I volunteer for, and personal tasks. Each has its own context; it would be most sensible if each context had its own default calendar.
Mohammad Othman
This would be great and especially if it could tag meetings with the channel it's linked to, currently we need to manually tag to have their time spent shown correctly.
Kottke Sarah
Very much needed!
