Importing events: the basics

Learn how to manually or automatically import calendar events to your Sunsama task list.

Events on your calendar (e.g. work meetings) can be manually or automatically imported to your Sunsama task list. Import events to your task list that are important, work related, or something that you feel you need to check off your to do list.

Walkthrough

Import settings

Navigate to Settings > Calendar > Meeting import to configure your calendar event import settings. See the detailed import settings guide for more.

There are two main configuration options:

• “Show prompt” setting: You will manually import events or receive prompts during daily planning.
• “Auto-sync” setting: Sunsama automatically imports all relevant events ahead of time.

Manually importing events

You can always manually import a calendar event by hovering over it in the calendar and clicking “add to tasks”.

If you wish to remove an imported event from your task list, right click on it in your task list and click “remove from tasks”. If you delete the event via the calendar, the event itself will be deleted.

Automatically importing events

Configure your meeting import settings to automatically import all relevant events, so they are in your task list ahead of time. Refer to the instructions above for how to configure these settings.

What events should be imported?

Work meetings are work, so these should be imported to your task list.

Calendar events like “lunch” or a holiday are not work, nor are they things you wouldn’t do if they weren’t in your task list, so you may exclude those.

In between those two examples are any number of tasks in a gray area that you may or may not want to import to your task list, such as calendar events to pay bills, all day events, meetings you’ve not yet RSVP’ed to, etc.
