How to set Trello tasks that show "free" in Outlook Calendar

[Dawn Russell]

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?

Hi @Dawn Russell ,

If this is configurable, it would be on the Outlook side as I don't think native config. within Trello has this option. 

I am curious: how did you set up this integration/connection? I do have Trello Premium and with it, I can use Planner and the option to sync Outlook or Google calendars (example here), but I haven't tried doing the same for the Free plan.

To get back to your question - if there's any option within Outlook (when you click on your Trello calendar from list of calendars) where you can actually configure this, then I guess that would be it 🤔

Cheers,
Tobi

Thanks for your reply @Tomislav Tobijas - I hadn't thought to check the Outlook settings.  As for setting the integration up, I just watched a video tutorial and followed the instructions:)  Can't remember what I did now, though.

I'll have a look at the Outlook settings now to see if I can find anything to help
