Planner: outlook AND google calendars?

Question

Trello planner is  what I've been looking for in integrating task management and calendaring for YEARS. It is great that both outlook and google calendar can be connected to Planner. But I have all personal appointments in google cal, and all work appointments in outlook (employer-required). I want so much to be able to timeblock by putting trello cards in planner time-slots. But, I have to see both kinds of appointments at once. It seems that once a calendar account is connected, there is no option to connect another. This is so frustrating. I hope I'm missing something, please let me know.

(Pretty sure I have searched all available documentation for this. Atlassian does always say Google OR Outlook, which is accurate as far as it goes, but doesn't point out explicitly that you can't connect both. I can't find any advice for the user who needs both at the same time. I found my question asked two weeks ago in a comment , but it doesn't seem to have been answered.)

Fingers crossed!

We are working on multi-account support for Planner. It should be coming in the next few months.

Hi CLB, you’re right — currently Trello Planner only supports connecting either Google or Outlook at a time, not both simultaneously. It’s a common need for people managing work and personal calendars, so your feedback is very valid. I’d recommend raising this in the Product Ideas portal so the Trello team can track it, as it would be a great enhancement for time-blocking. In the meantime, a workaround could be syncing one calendar into the other (for viewing only) and then connecting Planner to that combined calendar.
