After signing in with your Google account, all you have to do is confirm the integration for your account.

You then create an integration with the selected account.

Now you just need to choose the following:

  • Integration type – you can choose Two-way Integration, sync from Freelo to Google Calendar, or just from Google Calendar to Freelo. If you choose the Two-way integration, you can create tasks in both of them (Freelo and Google Calendar), depending on your preferences.
  • To-Do list, where you will add tasks directly from the calendar. You can then move them to another To-Do list or project.
  • The Google account you currently want to link.
  • The projects that you want to integrate to your Google Calendar (sub/tasks from these projects). These can be all projects or just some of them. If you want to enter tasks from the Google calendar into Freelo, you need to set the default asignee in the Inbox To-Do list.
  • The solvers whose tasks you want to have in your Google Calendar.
  • Lastly, you can load existing tasks in Google Calendar. If you do not choose to have them included, you will only see the tasks created in the future.

Event Notifications Google API supports event notifications only, even for all-day events. This limitation is set by Google API itself, which does not support all-day reminders. Unfortunately, this cannot be changed or influenced from Freelo’s side.

Once you’ve saved your settings, you’ll have a two-way Google Calendar connection. So, as mentioned before, you can change the dates directly in Google Calendar and it will be reflected in Freelo at the same time. You can also create tasks with deadlines directly from Google Calendar.

You can adjust the synchronization settings afterward. To edit, click on the three-dot menu on the bottom right next to the number of projects and users. Then click Edit > make the edits you need > click Save. You can also deactivate the synchronization.

Exporting tasks from Freelo

In addition to the two-way integration, you can export task due dates from Freelo to various calendar apps.

Disabling synchronization

You can also disable synchronization and return to it later if needed.

You can edit, deactivate and delete synchronization settings via the three-dot menu.

You can completely delete the integration. If you want to remove the events created in Google Calendar as well, activate this feature. By doing so, you will remove tasks created in Freelo and transferred to Google Calendar, while events created in Google Calendar will remain.

To remove tasks from Google Calendar, you need to activaate this option.
Activate this option and delete the integration.
