Calendar integration

Refreshed and followed the steps …but I do not see the link described in the directions to “turn on” calendaras listed in the instructions noted below. Right-clicking on the document does not show this available…I am using Chrome…should that matter?

Right click on the documents whose dates you want to sync, and choose “Turn on Google Calendar sync”.

Thanks
Rick

Not working for me. I’ve got the connection set up fine, but nothing appears in Google calendar. I’ve tried making new items with dates in the future and see nothing. The setup in Dynalist can see my list of calendars fine.

If it helps any, if you implement the ability to send in content by email and parse the subject line to extract a date, a service like FolowUpThen.com is available to supplement the need for recurring dates. Just throwing it out there.

Did you turn on for the document you want? i.e. step 2 here: http://help.dynalist.io/pro-features/#google-calendar-integration

The reason is that we don’t want to assume you want to sync all documents. For some people, it would crowd their calendar as some dates never need to show up there.

Have you chosen a calendar to sync to in the dropdown in settings?

Yes… The selected calendar shows OK, but there is no link to it when I right click on the document

That’s weird. It seems to be working for everyone else.

You’re on the web version for all three steps right?

Thanks. I should really read instructions more carefully. Working fine now!

I will test this out as soon as I get the chance to.

Update:

We’ve got many great feedback since Google Calendar integration was released, and we plan to do the following polishing in the following week:

  1. Remove the corresponding event in Google Calendar if the item gets deleted in Dynalist;
  2. Dates without a specific time will be displayed as all-day events;
  3. A default setting for syncing documents. For example, if you turn it on, the dates in all documents will be synced unless explicitly overridden.
  4. Add a link to the original item to the description field as well, since some calendar clients do not display the source field.

Because events are only updated when items are edited, it would be a lot of work for you to manually edited all the dates you have. We’ll provide a temporary button to force update all the documents that has Google Calendar sync turned on.

Then update will likely arrive next week and we’ll post about in the blog and on Twitter.

Not sure what I am doing wrong…I have reviewed and followed the directions again…where exactly is one supposed to right click to …“Turn on Google Calendar sync”. ? I have not found this choice or command anywhere…

Right click on a document in the left pane.

All is working well now.
Still not sure where the problem was…I started from scratch: rebooted PC, followed all the steps - now it works.

Thanks for your guidance.

Thanks for letting us know it’s working now!

What happens if you delete the document, and if a point is relocated elsewhere (which I believe changes the node’s link)?

The calendar integration is very good. The current integration syncs all documents to a single google calendar. Can we have different documents sync to different google calendars? Can you add this feature to your roadmap?

Hi Erica,

Love the new feature to synx tasks to my Calendar with ease :heart_eyes:
Is it possible sometime in the future to have time slots with Google Sync.

Let me explain more with an example

  • Check Email every morning !(2017-02-14 9:00 1h)

Like to see when sync to my Google Calendar that event is created for 14/2 at 9:00 - 10:00.

Cheers

Another update: we’ve fixed/improved all the things mentioned above.

Now the only known bug left is that for time zones beyond UTC (e.g. UTC+2), all-day events are off by one day. We’ll fix that really soon too.

The newest version that contains the fixes above are available on web and Android beta right now; it will arrive at all platforms very soon.
