Aggregate availability from multiple calendars
My prob is that my teams acct only pulls information from my main calendar so I am getting double booked with meetings.. thanks
MMreed I set up a Zap in Zapier to copy events from another calendar into my work calendar. I wanted to show my time as busy whenever there was a men's basketball game for my alma mater. So I pointed the Zap to a public calendar for the team's schedule and had it add events to my work calendar whenever a new game was posted.
The nice thing about using Zaps is that you can make the event title anything you want--have it fill in information from the other calendar directly, or call it something innocuous (like "Personal").
Here's a link to my Zap:

- This is great! I'm a consultant, and in addition to now being able to use Bookings, it allows me to keep client appointments confidential on my main calendar.
Michael_Johnson990 the problem I found with this solution is that if you delete or edit an event, it doesn't update on the other other. I could not figure out how to truly synch my Gmail with Outlook so my colleagues could see my full calendar.
raphi_box Yes, that is a problem with this solution. Also, if events on the source calendar are modified, it doesn't modify the target calendar.
Michael_Johnson990 How do you remove the Reminder so you don't double your reminders in Outlook? Zapier wasn't giving me the choice of Reminder.
it's crazy after 7 years this still isnt solved by microsoft and we have to come up with workarounds
- I don't think you can do that through Zapier, but one solution might be to turn off reminders for one of your Outlook calendars (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-or-delete-notifications-or-reminders-in-outlook-7a992377-ca93-4ddd-a711-851ef3597925).
