Busy/Free option in Google Calendar sync
planned
Marni Business
It would be nice to be able to set a task as busy or free for the calendar sync with google. Right now it shows everything as busy which was messing with the ability for people to book into my schedule, so I had to turn google calendar syncing off. If I could set all tasks as free by default and then set certain ones as actually busy that would be beneficial.

Hey JAMES HEBDON! Due to our current focus on speed and performance, our ETA for this feature has changed a bit.
We still will release this, but we are delaying certain features a bit in order to spend more time and resources on performance.
Thank you for your patience!

Ability to edit Google Calendar event details to show "Busy"
L
Leah Ouimet
[From Support Ticket] Google Calendar events in ClickUp (via Calendar view) show all the meeting details) but we would like the ability to edit those details down to just say "Busy." That way if this Calendar is being shared with anyone else, the full event details can be kept private.

This is precisely the issue I just discovered (I started using ClickUp just a dew days ago.) This renders my calendar useless as a booking tool in conjunction with Calendly, because I look to be perpetually busy when people are trying to book a time with me. Ironically, this then wastes a LOT of time (the opposite of ClickUp's value proposition and core messaging) with having to go back to email ping pong to find meeting times that work. So... like Marni, I will just have to switch the Google Calendar integration off until this simple issue is fixed. (Loving ClickUp in general so far though! This is the first obvious flaw I have encountered so far.)

Clickup to google interferes with calendly

Presently I have clickup tasks synced to my google calendar. On tasks with only a date the due date syncs over to google as an all day event and shows me busy for that entire day. This in turn blocks calendly which we use separately from being able to create events. I need a way to either have synced tasks to not impact my free/busy availability or to set that flag per task

Some input on this. By default tasks are assigned as All Day on calendar, and as Busy. I don't know how most users manage their tasks and calendar, but my best practice is to go in to my calendar in Clickup, and drag and drop the tasks into my calendar when I plan to actually work on those tasks. When I drop it into the calendar, I do indeed want it occupying real space and being "busy", so nobody can book me. But when it is sitting in the "All Day" waiting area, as it were, it should not be busy, as that immediately kills all day availability when you sync your tasks calendar with something like Calendly.
One solution here would be to give users the ability to add specific tasks to their calendar, on a drag and drop basis in CU. This way rather than tasks by default being "All Day", they would have to be dragged in to occupy specific time slots. I think this is a smart productivity tool anyway, since tasks take up real time, and it is best practice to drop them right on your calendar when you actually will be able to work on them.

Tal: I agree. A task that is due on a specific day, but not scheduled for a time should not be blocking my whole calendar. Tasks with times should be the only thing that affects my calendar.
As a workaround, I have added a calendar to my gmail account for ClickUp to sync to and overlay the calendars. If I have something that I really can't reschedule, I then block it out in my calendar.

Saw someone patch this with Zapier, here's the Integromat patch!

One thing I left out, was that I scheduled it to run once every morning at 5am.

Necessary! It fills my calendar so I have to pay my VA to go in and change each one to FREE so people can make appointments with me!

I'm having the same issue as described in this thread. Is there an ETA as to when this update will be rolled out?

Google Calendar Synced events option to not mark as Busy
Thomas Swanson
Currently, when I sync my Google Calendar to ClickUp, any task assigned to me that doesn't have a specific time (most of mine don't) marks me as busy all day which doesn't play nicely with my x.ai scheduling service since my calendar appears full.

because all my clickup tasks show up as Busy, if I were to share my calendar with someone so they can schedule a meeting they would think I have no time available. Big problem!
