Subtask dates on Google calendar

Hi everybody,
I have created and running integration with Google Calendar: when a set a date on Monday.com task/activities lists I find it on my Google calendar.

How can I obtain the same with subtasks? Adding calendars fields in subtasks?

Thank you in advance.

Regards.

Marco

Likewise, can we push subitems with dates out to O365 Calendars?

Agreed! The Google Calendar integration should work with subitems. It seems like most of the integrations only work for main items, which really limits what Monday can do and forces you into structuring boards in illogical ways to get around these hurdles. Frustrating!

Continuing this thread! We use subitems to list tasks and assign to individuals. Would be awesome if we can push subitems to their google calendars.

I would like to see this as well, but in the meantime how about putting this on the Calendar Sync page so I don’t waste half an hour looking for an answer to why I can’t get it to work. Or get rid of the button.

This is a must have feature. It’s great that Monday are expanding their integrations with other software but I believe this is a basic feature which should be given high priority for developers to add.

You can add subtasks to your google calendar if you do the ‘sync’ step for the subtask column you want - BUT it adds it to a separate google calendar and I want it to be the same calendar!

@merissa_vespene is correct. It would be nice if the subitems automatically synced with the parent columns calendar rather than creating a new one.

Has there been any updates addressing this issue? This gap in functionality cripples our use of a key integration.

+1 - this is a very much needed feature. if i think it would be useful for my solopreneur business i can’t imagine how frustrating its absence would be for monday customers who work with teams large or small

This would be really helpful for us and save a ton of time having to manually do everything for sub tasks. It’s a bit of a pain point for us right now and can even be a blocker to getting the schedule organized.

Hi all, with zzBots you can install a 1-Way Sync for Monday.com Subitems to Google Calendar that will keep your events up to date and in sync.

This bot includes an If / Condition step that will only allow subitems with a date specified to be synced to Google Calendar.

Hey @m.dwarf @MHaigh @mlh @MondayMyco @Raincloud @MikaelZarb @merissa_vespene @Scott_Ingalls @clinton1300 @sorensonsolutions @1tinyproblem @MikeB_NPPM

We developed an app called Google Calendar Integration Plus that provides a robust Google calendar and monday.com integration.

Here’s how it can be used in this case →

Simply select the calendar you want to connect →

Here are the key differences from monday’s native solution -

  1. Allows to select which calendar to use (not just the primary default)

  2. Supports subitems

  3. Much more flexible triggers - “no more sync every item”

  4. Allows full mapping - updates, invitees and more

  5. Allows to control the start & end date and time.

You can find it in the monday.com marketplace in the platform or here - Google Calendar Integration Plus - monday.com App Marketplace

Hope that helps

It would be nice if we could sync subitems with Google Calendar, instead of just items. It would also be nice if we could specify a particular calendar within a Google account to sync with. My Google Calendar has several sub-calendars that I use to organize/color-code my events.

@CourtroomPixels See my message above. Should solve your problem.

@Fantasy-Media-Team I’ve installed your app, and it works for adding new sub items to a Google calendar, but I don’t see how to keep those events synchronized when the subitem dates change. Can you explain how to implement that functionality?

Wow, its been 3 years and this still hasnt been implemented yet? The integration is half cooked at best with only being able to add the main item to your calendar. Hope this is in the works.

Hey @CourtroomPixels

You need to use “When column changes” as the trigger of the automation. Particularly, this one –

If you use that automation recipe, whenever you change the date (or any column you wish), it triggers the automation and it will update the event in your Google calendar. It will sync all changes such as date, time, duration, description, and all other fields that you mapped from Monday to Google Calendar. Hope this answer your question! Happy to help if there is anything else you need.
