How do I use due dates and Google Calendar integration?
Drag automatically integrates with your Google Calendar. Every time you assign a due date to a card, you will also have the option to add a respective event to your Google Calendar on the respective date and time you chose.
To add an event in your calendar from a Drag board, first you need to add a due date to an email or task card. To do that:
Select one or more cards on their checkboxes.
Click on the calendar icon on the top bar.
Type the desired time on the clock input field on the top right of the calendar.
If you wish to create an event in your Google Calendar, check the checkbox "Add to calendar".
If you choose to add an event on your Calendar, a "Duration" input field will load. Type the duration of the event (in minutes).
At last, to save the changes, select the date you wish to assign the selected cards.
Open the Drag Card View.
Click on the calendar icon on the top bar.
Type the desired time on the clock input field on the top right of the calendar.
If you wish to create an event in your Google Calendar, check the checkbox "Add to calendar".
If you choose to add an event on your Calendar, a "Duration" input field will load. Type the duration of the event (in minutes).
At last, to save the changes, select the date you wish to assign the selected cards.
To remove a due date from a card, do the following:
Click on the desired card on the Card View.
Click on the 'x' button next to the existing due date, on the top.
If the checkbox "Add to calendar" is selected, the event on your Google Calendar will automatically reflect the changes in the due date assigned.
If you remove the due date from a card, its respective event previously added to Calendar will be automatically deleted.
If you remove an event from your Calendar that had been previously generated from a card, your card and its respective due date won't be affected.
When a due date is assigned to a card on a Shared Board, all team members on that board will be able to visualize the due date icon on the card. In addition:
If the board is a Shared Inbox: the event will be created on the shared inbox Gmail account's Calendar (eg. support@company.com).
If the board is a Google Groups board: the event will be created on the individual Calendar of the user who assigned the due date and created the event. Note multiple users can apply the same due date on the same card, generating events in their own Calendars individually.
If the board is an empty board: the event will be created on the individual Calendar of the user who assigned the due date and created the event. Note multiple users can apply the same due date on the same card, generating events in their own Calendars individually.
Once an event is created in your Calendar, you will get the same notifications from Google as if you have created the events manually. If you wish to change the notifications about events, please change them directly into your Google Calendar notifications settings.
