How to set Trello tasks that do not reflect as "busy" in Outlook Calendar

Question

I'm currently setting tasks in Trello using due dates and reminders.  My Trello board is linked to my Outlook Calendar.

The challenge that I'm having is that the tasks take on a "busy" profile in the calendar and therefore prevent people from booking other appointments in my calendar (I'm a recruiter, so people always need to book interviews with me).

Does anyone know how I can change the Trello or calendar settings so that my Trello tasks list me as "free" in Outlook Calendar please?

Hey @Dawn Russell Look to see if Trello's calendar sync option has a "Show As" event setting where you can have the event display as "Free" rather than "Busy." If it doesn't, it's a function the integration doesn't allow and you'll need to change the events individually, or use another tool for synchronization.

Hi @Dawn Russell ,

I guess this is same/duplicate question as this one: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Trello-questions/How-to-set-Trello-tasks-that-show-quot-free-quot-in-Outlook/qaq-p/3262684

If so, can we close one of these?

Cheers,
