Hey, here’s a workaround I created. It’s a bit clunky but it works with no additional tools/payments. Disclaimer - I think this would work best for small teams.
Use Case
I needed a team task list, with each user’s tasks to be synced with their google calendar. Because there is no option to choose different calendars in the same board, I created a double layer solution:
- Layer 1 - One board for TEAM to do’s where you can assign tasks per user
- Layer 2 - boards per user (“Yael’s To Do’s”, “Liz’s To Do’s” etc). Each of these boards is synced to the user’s calendar as you can integrate calendar per board.
The automations work like this:
- in the TEAM BOARD I added a button and called it TRANSFER with the following automation:
when TRANSFER button is clicked, and only if the person assigned is User X → create item in User X’s board and connect the items
- In the user’s boards, I added the integration into the calendar of that user as follows
Any task with a due date/time will be added to their calendar and updated according to changes. Any task with no due date will not appear in their calendar.
To top it off, I also added a TRANSFER button into the individual user boards, in case they create a task there and want it to show up in the TEAM board.
hope that makes sense.
again - a little clunky, but no external tools or additional payment required.
