I’ve been searching for days for what I assume is a common problem. This helpful article comes close.
I have multiple Fantastical calendars (10+) to help me sort my life. Plus, I’m often adding/deleting calendars.
There are people in my life who need to know when I’m free and busy (family, clients), and it’s neither feasible to ask them to add 10+ calendars of mine to their computer and iPhone calendars…nor is it practical to give them a calendly-styled link because they aren’t always trying to book a meeting with me. They just need to know when I’m free or busy.
I’m trying to 1-way sync all of my calendars (showing free/busy information only) to 1 central Google calendar, which I can then share with those people who need to see my free/busy schedule.
There doesn’t seem to be an easy native or software service solution that I can find. Has anyone tackled this problem?
I have two work calendars that don’t touch each other (1 for client, 1 for job), but I want to make sure that colleagues are aware of the meetings I have at my client’s.
What I did was write a shortcut that would copy each event from my client’s calendar to my work calendar, but each time called “Client meeting”.
As you’re working with multiple calendars you could either duplicate the shortcut and change the source/destination calendars, or make those as input variables and run that shortcut multiple times.
What is left is to make the shortcut run regularly. I personally just make it run on each wake on my Mac through BetterTouchTool, but there are many ways to run a shortcut regularly like your article suggests.
