Aggregate availability from multiple calendars
I prefer to keep personal appointments on one calendar (on Outlook.com) and work appointments on my work calendar (O365 Exchange), but Exchange only seems to use my work calendar to show my availabil...
Did anyone find a solution? I have 2 sub calendars for groups of tasks and need them separated bc I allow others access to my appts. I dont want everyone to have access to everything.
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:

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).
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.
- 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.
