Planner view: adding a google workspace account so I can see it's calendar in the planner view

PJRanson

I'm sure I'm not the only one who uses multiple digital calendars?

The main three I use are;

• My own personal one (that's shared with my partner)
• My partner's one (that's shared with me)
• My work calendar (I work for myself)

I have others; Exercise/Training calendars and so on... but these three are the main ones I use and need to maintain a persistent view across all of my digital ecosystem.

I primarily use Google Calendar - I also have an MS/outlook one, and an apple/macOS one - (the joys of being a recent convert to macs (having used PC's for decades) and a die-hard android/pixel/nexus phone user...

They all interconnect and I have multiple access points to my various calendars across devices and applications. Make a change in one and it reflects everywhere.

When it came to Trello, it was seamless - until I migrated my work ecosystem to a paid Google Workspace - (for various reasons) - as a consequence my old 'work calendar' (that was just a shared calendar within my personal "free" google account) - is now part of the workspace and ring-fenced away from my personal account.

Problem being, my personal account has the legacy links in Trello, and I'm unwilling to remove it as it serves a purpose for my personal stuff - but I do need to include my new 'Work' account into Trello - so it's available in the planner view (and reflects everywhere).

I've looked all over Trello, but can't seem to find where to include or add another  calendar/account...

Any help gratefully received.

I've solved it. 

For the record, for anyone else looking for a solution ---> It isn't necessarily a Trello problem

I had to come at it from another angle and shared the Google Workspace calendar to my Google Personal Account

This results in revealing the new workspace calendar as a toggle-able option in the planner view in Trello (once it had been refreshed)

(You also need to edit sharing rights in Google Workspace Admin Settings for the Calendar too - as it defaults to 'hide details' - obviously as it's just me I turned everything on to full access) 

But an easy fix that provides a decent workaround. Essentially allowing full control of personal/workspace calendars through both access points (and propagating across my established digital ecosystem)
