Using the Google Calendar integration with: “When an item is created or updated, create an event in Google Calendar, and sync future changes form this board”.
For now the destination calendar on which the Monday’s task sync to is the “default” Google Calendar. This is not very collaborative as I the default calendar is usually my Personal calendar, therefore it can not be shared. Plus, if I have multiple Google Cal integration on multiple board my default calendar would be just a mess. Would be really useful if the user:
Is able to choose the “My Calendar” on which the Monday’s task are feed to. This can be a Shared Calendar with other people.
Can create a new calendar on Google Calendar. The new calendar will have the “Board Name”. This calendar can then be shared to other people using Google Calendar.
Would very much appreciate this update! With only the option to sync to our personal calendar, it defeats the purpose of using this function for a team. Please add the option to select a particular calendar within one’s Google account to sync to. Just like @andreamike said above!!!
Seems very odd that this functionality wouldn’t be available. Millions (if not billions) of people use separate calendars for personal vs work. Why we can’t designate which specific gmail calendar we want to integrate with Monday (w/o another email address) seems like a very basic function for any project management app. This feature should have been built in from the onset in my opinion. I hope they get this worked out stat.
Aside from creating a-whole-nother email account JUST to be able to sync to a Google calendar, has anyone else figured out a work around for this? Seems to be the same issue/lack of feature for integrating with Outlook Calendars. (I’m also not interested in paying additional money for a 3rd party recipe via Zapier or Make when this seems like a pretty obvious feature.)
Here’s what I have done for years that helps this [deep breath]…
I have 5 separate calendars I need to manage, including my personal. I create a consolidated calendar in Google, then I share only free/busy information from all of my other calendars to that calendar. As I am looking for an available time slot, I use the combined calendar, which aggregates all other calendar appointments in one place.
so…
Theoretically, you could make whichever calendar is already connected to your Monday account the ‘merged’ calendar. So even if your teammates would then ‘have access’ to your calendar via the integration, the only personal details they could extract would be for the calendar appointment they need to see (and not the other calendar(s) you connected, since only free/busy info is public.
It takes a little bit of tweaking in your Google Calendar to get it right, but this might help solve some of those issues- if nobody has found an alternative yet!
Any news on this feature? Spent the whole morning trying to figure out why the events from my other calendars wouldnt create an item as per the integration and was baffled to see it wouldnt take into account my other calendars! I do PM work primarily with our shared calendars
Hi All, this is now causing an absolute nightmare with our annual leave bookings and visibility!
I had a workaround that was working for us for some time but has now stopped working;
setting the integration up via the column you want to use for the date creates a New Calendar in the given Google account instead of simply using the default (follow the steps for “One-Way Sync” in this article)
Is there any plan to have this feature re-released/fixed at some point??
Seems like this have not been solved yet. I literally tried all possible options. Also singing in from different email, etc. This is really necessary for business and tracking.
