2 way sync for Google Calendar
in progress
Yahu
Hi There! I see all the tasks that I have planned for my day on the top of my calendar on the section "All day" and that is great! however, there are several things that would be great to fix and improve, see my notes below:
- when I mark tasks done, the tasks showing in my calendar don't go away. they stay there. if it is a 2 way sync, when I mark something done or moved to another day etc, It should reflect in my calendar, right?
- Any meetings I add under google calendar or that my team adds, they don't over to the calendar in click up. and even when I adjust the time of a task to be done specifically, like it is not updated in the CU Calendar...
am I missing something maybe? let me know. thank you!

Hi folks - Ricardo here, I own calendar at Clickup. How's your day going today? 🦄☀️
I wanted to provide you with an update on this.
As Ivan mentioned, we've been working hard to move the Google Calendar integration to a new platform as well as AppCenter as both are pre-requisites to improving the way tasks sync to Google Calendar.
🎉 Good news - we've now completed this work.
It's been a mountain(!) of work, but we trust this puts us in the best possible place to get this feature right for you.
I know there's been lots of hurdles in this specific part of the software, and I'm keen to make this right for you. Me & the team are going to put real work in, but also want to set your expectations getting this to work 100% of the times won't happen overnight.
Features like this have lots of little nuances, so even though I can tell you that we sync millions of tasks successfully every day, that means nothing if (for you) it's not working. It sucks, I hear you. We'll make it right. 🫡

So, what is the point of offering this feature if all-day appointments in my Google calendar do not sync with the ClickUp subscribed calendars? How does it make sense to still require the user to look at two calendars?

We use clickup's google calendar sync for years now, and every year the problems are getting worse and worse. Starting from unreliable syncing to syncing the same task over and over again. Every time we change an attribute of the task it gets duplicated in the google calendar. Some tasks appear 20 times in the calendar. There is no way we can change the 2way syncing to 1 way and i've read so many feedback where clickup suggest workarounds but when do you guys get this functionality properly working? Ricardo Clerigo

Mario Frederickx You hit the nail on the head. We have the exact same experiences - unreliable syncing; syncing the same task multiple times; creating a new calendar entry when a task is moved, instead of moving the existing calendar entry that the task originally synced to Google Calendar.
It's just wild that this sales page (https://clickup.com/integrations/google-calendar-task-sync) is still promising a feature that doesn't work properly.

Ricardo Clerigo Clickup's task link is not attached to Google Calendar events for 'Focus Time' events which should not be the case. Kindly resolve this too.

Are tasks in multiple lists supported in the Google Calendar sync?

A very important issue: tasks with the status "Closed" should not continue to appear on Google Calendar. What makes sense is to see on the calendar only tasks with status "not closed". This is how other tools that also sync with Google Calendar work and it makes no sense that ClickUp sync continues to show tasks/events on Google Calendar after they are closed.
Basically, what we should see in Google Calendar is exactly the same tasks/events that we also see in a Calendar View inside ClickUp.

Hi current integration of calendar is lacking the ability to write on additional google calendars is only able to write to "the first calendar of the account" and not to any other owned calendars

How do I get a job where I can own a very small feature in a massive software that pushes out huge changes weekly, in the age of AI, and make no meaningful improvements to that feature for an entire year? Does it pay well?! Where can I apply?
Also, I find it funny that two way sync is 2 out of the top 10 most voted requests. Love that we're all in sync! Minus Ricardo.. Ricardo is not in sync.

Hi, does anyone have a more recent update on native Calendar within Clickup ? The color schemes are dreadful and the integration with Tasks, and just so much about the Calendar within Clickup is not great. As a productivity app I would have thought Tasks and Calendar would be top two priorities. I have now been waiting 5 years and the Calendar is nowhere near fixed. Does anyone have an update please ?
Vladislav Grabovoy
George Stefanescu I don't think it will come up soon, as there there other bigger problems with calendar.
the main issue for me - it sync not all the tasks, so i use iCal sync also, as iCal shows which tasks wants sync and I block the time manually in my calendar.
