2-way event sync between calendar accounts
Kai Blisch
Sync events from one calendar (account) to another to block times there, that aren’t free due to something in the original calendar (account). SavvyCal really helps to reduce double scheduling, but only when people use a SavvyCal link.
I have multiple accounts and in one of them co-workers that don’t use SavvyCal but open their Google calendar and send invites to whenever my calendar shows a free spot. Unfortunately, I can’t convince the whole company to only use SavvyCal – so syncing over my events from second and third calendar accounts is the best way to prohibit double booking.
I currently use OneCal for this. reclaim.ai has a similar functionality. I’ve landed at OneCal because I can exclude some events from syncing, if they have a specific color (would love to exclude more than one color, though). OneCal has a pretty solid feature set to do this, I’ve attached a screenshot.
Both services are also offering scheduling links btw, and I was tempted to switch over to one of them for scheduling as well. But I’d rather see Savvycal just offer a better solution then they do here. 😃
Just to add this – I know this is not "one feature request" but more a suggestion for a whole set of features. It might be worth diving into, though, if this expansion fits to SavvyCal's strategy and plan. I already trust Savvycal with handling my calendar accounts, and I'd rather have multi-account sync also handled by my favorite scheduling tool as well. But could be more of a niche use case - then again, scheduling links are becoming a commodity, so it's good to have something up the sleeve. 😉

I tried https://www.onecal.io/ and this is great, now I can't do without it, but it is a subscription more. What's more, it's a competitor to Savvycal. Isn't it sad to pay Savvycal and then pay an additional competitor just to have this essential functionality?
It would be a great relief to see this feature on the roadmap Derrick Reimer !

it's not the same need, but the same trend that I follow here : https://feedback.savvycal.com/integrations/p/airtable-2-way-sync-integration
