Planner & Calendar are a NoGo
Konstantin Knapp
I wanted to centralise for my team the planner/calendar and just use it in clickup. But I encountered the following issues:
- Both Tasks and Events needs to be able to automatically add google meet link for the planner and calendar.
- In the planner it has to be possible to see completed tasks, using the planner and calendar complicates the entire process and is just a pain to use.
- In the calendar view it has to be possible to see events from the Planner. It is a pain not being able to do so.
- Events need to also show in Task Lists because its time that the team spends and needs to be tracked.
- The text size in the planner and calendar is not readable, it always cuts parts fo the title, this is very basic to get right.
We will not spend time creating automations to circumvent these issues. Not worth the time nor money.
Due to this we decided it is a NoGo to use clickup planner/calendar to plan all the tasks and events.
It would be great that you resolve these issues, I am sure I am not the only one.
Thank you!

Hey Konstantin how's your day going? I lead the planner team here at ClickUp.
- Automatically add google meet link
This already happens as soon as you add someone else to the invite. Let me know if that's not clear and I can record a quick video.
- Seeing completed tasks
That's good feedback and one lots of other folks want too. I've started a canny for it here https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/see-complete-tasks-in-planner - if you can share more about why it's painful that tasks hide after you complete them? are you trying to keep track of what's done or not for example?
- Seeing events in calendar list
You can do this, expand the right sidebar for overdue tasks and look at the bottom of your screen. You can toggle on/off calendars there. Can you share a bit more about your use-case here as well? What is it you want to use events + tasks side by side to do?
- Tracking time spent on meetings
We have a plan for this that we haven't made public just yet. If you're willing, I can invite you to our calendar early-adopter chat community which is a workspace where me and the team talk to customers and show early versions of what's coming up - in exchange you have to provide feedback.
- Text size
This is hard to get right - what you say is too small, others say it's not small enough. We will eventually provide a few levels to choose from, but for now, you can always adjust your browser settings to zoom to 110% which some folks prefer.
Let me know if you ever plan to come back to ClickUp and give planner another go.
