Choose calendars from a connected account

Choose which discovered calendars are visible, synchronized, ordered, or eligible as the default.

Before you begin

  • A connected Google, Outlook, Apple, Yahoo, or CalDAV account

A connected account may contain several calendars, such as personal, shared, work, holiday, or project calendars.

Harmonise lets you choose which of these calendars you want to use.

Choose your calendars

On mobile

  1. Open Settings > Calendars.
  2. Select Edit.
  3. Use Show or Hide for each calendar.
  4. Turn Sync on or off as needed.
  5. Choose an eligible default calendar.
  6. Reorder your calendars if needed.
  7. Select Save.

Understand the choices

  • Show or Hide: Use Show when you want the calendar to appear in your normal views and filters. Hide removes it from those views. A hidden calendar can still keep Sync enabled and continue receiving updates.
  • Sync: When enabled, Harmonise continues receiving supported changes from the provider. Turning Sync off stops those updates without disconnecting the account.
  • Read-only: You can view the calendar, but Harmonise cannot make changes that require edit access. A read-only calendar also cannot be used as the destination for a new Task that requires edit access.
  • Default: The preferred calendar in creation flows that use a default calendar. Standalone Tasks still require a calendar to be selected or provided by the screen where they are created. Changing the default only affects future choices and does not move existing Events or Tasks.
  • Primary: The provider’s primary calendar. It does not automatically become your default calendar in Harmonise.

Some provider-selected or primary calendars may already be visible when your account is first connected. Review your calendar list rather than assuming every discovered calendar is shown.

Map connected calendars

A connected calendar may also have a destination calendar in Harmonise for its synchronized Events.

This is separate from whether the calendar is visible or syncing.

Only eligible Harmonise calendars can be selected as destinations. Read-only, external, subscribed, draft, or already-mapped calendars cannot be used.

See Map an external calendar to Harmonise for more information.

Names and colours

Names and colours for connected calendars come from the original calendar provider.

To change them, update the calendar in Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, or your CalDAV service, then use Refresh calendars in Harmonise.

Calendars created directly in Harmonise can be renamed and recoloured in Harmonise.

If your calendar list changes

Use Refresh calendars after you add, remove, rename, share, or change access to a calendar with your provider.

After refreshing, review your visibility, sync, default, mapping, and order settings.
