Google Calendar
Our Google Calendar integration syncs any tasks that are allocated to you in your Project.co account with your Google Calendar.
A few things to bear in mind:
- You need to authorise your Project.co account to access your Google Calendar when you first use this integration.
- The sync is 1-way from Project.co to Google Calendar. Any changes you make to tasks in your Project.co account will be reflected in your Google Calendar but any changes you make in Google Calendar won't be reflected in your Project.co account.
- For tasks to show in your Google Calendar, the following must be true:
- You must be assigned to the task.
- The task must have a single date, date range or be a recurring task. If it is a recurring task then only the master task (the currently active task) will be synced with your Google Calendar.
- The task must have any status other than "Completed".
- Each person in your Project.co account can connect their Google Calendar independently. This is a user level integration, not an account level integration.
- Only new tasks or existing tasks that have their date edited will be synced with your Google Calendar after you link your Google Calendar. We don't have a way to sync all existing tasks at this time.
- When you change the date of a task the task will be updated in your Google Calendar.
- If you are removed as the assignee the task will be removed from your Google Calendar.
- If the task is marked as "Completed" or if it is deleted then it will be removed from your Google Calendar.
How to use
To connect Google Calendar to your Project.co account click on your profile name and image at the bottom of the sidebar and choose "Your Settings":
Then at the bottom of the page click on "Manage your Google Calendar integration":
You will then see a popup that shows the status of your Google Calendar integration. To connect your Google Calendar to your Project.co account click on "Connect":
You will then be directed to authorise your Google account.
We request access to "See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app" so you can connect your Google Drive and "See the list of Google calendars you’re subscribed to" and "View and edit events on all your calendars".
When you have completed the authorisation you will be taken back to your Project.co account where you will see a popup that lets you choose which calendar to sync your tasks to. Choose one of your calendars from this list:
When you have done this the popup will close and you will see a green dot next to your Google Calendar integration to indicate that your Google Calendar is successfully connected.
You can click on "Manage your Google Calendar integration" at any time to revoke access or choose a different calendar to sync your tasks to.
When you have completed the steps above your tasks will be synced with your Google Calendar based on the rules outlined at the top of this article.
