Work ↔ Personal, detail one way only

When this is for you

You want one place that shows everything — but your work calendar must never show what your personal events are.

Before you turn it on

How it works

Before starting, confirm that your organization permits work-calendar details in a personal account and that both calendars allow writing. Review the plan requirement above. Inspect the shared settings and the exception for your personal destination before enabling the sync, then test both directions with harmless appointments.

What you'll pick

Setting it up

1. 1Pick your work calendar and your personal calendar. Both send and receive.
2. 2Leave the shared title option on Title says "Busy". This is what your work calendar will show.
3. 3Open "Calendar exceptions" and switch your personal calendar to "Use original title" with its description and location. This step needs the Pro plan.
4. 4Keep guests switched off. Review the free/busy setting separately from the title settings.
5. 5Use a harmless test event on each source calendar. After each copy appears, inspect its destination: personal-to-work should omit private details, while work-to-personal should match the detail settings you chose. Check time and availability on both copies. Pause and review unexpected results before using sensitive events.

Variations

Two filters you can add to this sync at any point, without rebuilding it.

• Sync everything except all-day events

  Add an "All-day events" exclude rule and holidays, birthdays and travel banners stay out of the calendar you sync into. It also catches birthdays from a subscribed calendar, which "Special dates from contacts" cannot — those arrive as ordinary events, so only the all-day rule sees them.

• Only invitations you've accepted

  Set "Which events to sync (RSVP)" to "Only-yes" and meeting requests you haven't answered stay out of the calendar you sync into until you accept them.
