With this integration, you can connect your GanttPRO account with Google Calendars. It will allow you to view all your tasks and events in one place, get consolidated notifications, and plan and organize your workload better.
This is a one-way integration that allows you to display selected tasks from GanttPRO in your Google Calendar by syncing the applications. Once you set up the integration, your GanttPRO tasks will automatically appear as events in your calendar. You’ll see:
- A task name
- Its start and end dates
- Project name and the link to the task in GanttPRO
Important notes:
- Any user can set up the integration, regardless of project rights.
- Tasks marked as "Done" or "Closed," as well as archived projects, are not synchronized.
- Initial synchronization happens instantly. However, updates to tasks in GanttPRO may take up to 24 hours to appear in Google Calendars.
- You can find all generated integration links in the integration settings. To avoid duplication, you cannot create identical integrations.
- After connecting the integration, you can change the synchronization settings for each link.
- If a user is removed from a project, or if the project or integration link is deleted, the corresponding integration will also be deleted, and the tasks will stop synchronizing.
