Hi, I'm using other CRM plateform where my events are synced with primary google calender. However when I sync with Doit calender to Google calender, it is synced with Doit calender.

Is it possible if I can sync my Doit task/events with primary google calender and not by adding new Doit calender.

You can see in attached file that primary calender is "Saurabh Tripathi" and Doit calender is named "Doit".

I want sync all task and even with calender named "Saurabh Tripathi" and not with Doit calender. Can't choose which calender to sync with?

I advise you not to sync with your real calendars, because Doit deletes (or checkmarks) your past appointments, which is often dangerous. I advise you to use the sync only for things that you know for sure that you do not want to keep for reference and that other people do not need to see either.

But if you really do want to sync with your primary calendar despite all this you can accomplish this by using a workaround: by entering those tasks in GCal, and then adding tags, project etc to them after they have been synced (imported) to Doit.

Dear Folke,

Thank you for advise and workaround.

However if there is any method to sync my primary calender, please let me know.

Regards
Saurabh

Yes, as I said, you can sync it if you make sure you CREATE the event in the primary calendar and let it sync back from there to your Doit app. (Or, if you create the task in Doit and it then ends up on the Doit.im calendar on GCal, I assume it must be possible to move it in GCal to the calendar you prefer instead.)

But what you cannot do is designate a particular calendar from the Doit interface.
