The Google Calendar extension for Zoho Projects lets you create events in Zoho Projects and sync them with your Google Calendar. You can now schedule, edit, or cancel events in Google Calendar from Zoho Projects, as well as set reminders to notify owners about upcoming events.
Key Features:
Create and sync events with Google Calendar
Edit or delete events as needed
Choose which calendar you want to create an event for
View events in daily, weekly, and monthly calendar views
This plugin has a good bit of potential as the 2 way sync between Projects and Zoho is quick. However, to make it even more useful and user friendly, can these updates & features be added? Please let me know if any of these features already exist, but if not, I believe this will yield a much more strongly integrated extension.
1) Can you enable a feature such that the person who adds a task as an event to the Google calendar doesn't have the event actually added to their own calendar, but it's added just to the attendees calendars? In our scenario, we want to have a resource manager add tasks as events to peoples Google calendars without having themselves added. On a similar topic, there doesn't appear to be a way to unset a default assignment in the Google Calendar List.
2) If a Start Date & Time and Due Date & Time have already been selected for a task, then when clicking the Add Event button, can the Start Date & Time and Due Date & Time fields within the Add Event pop-up be pre-populated with corresponding values? It's very inefficient to have to re-select these.
3) Can the task owner(s) be auto-populated into the Attendee field in the Add Event pop-up?
4) Additionally can the Attendee field be a drop down selection with registered Zoho Project users available to be selected? Currently we have to type in the full email addresses of each attendee, whereas if this were a searchable dropdown that allowed one or more selections, it'd be so much more efficient to use and would avoid the possibility of typos in email addresses.
5) Currently, without having a separate Google calendar browser tab open, you can't see the calendar availability for the person you want to add the Google calendar event for. Is it possible to preview the end user's calendar, since we're all part of the same organization?
6) Can you add a feature to populate the project name (or project ID) in the Google calendar event title? We use task templates when creating our Zoho projects, so without some kind of project identifier, when the Google calendar event titles are based on task name, we wind up having the same task name over and over for our repeat projects and it's not possible to differentiate between projects. We'd prefer to not have to manually update the event title each time.
We truly appreciate your detailed feedback about this extension. We shall try to encompass the suggested features down the lane after carefully considering them and contemplating their feasibility to align with our roadmap as we plan future updates to enhance the product experience.
We will keep this review updated if and when there is any positive news on this. Thanks for trying it out.
Thank you for getting back to me Sathiya! I hope there are some updates relatively soon, even if implemented in a phased approach. Very excited about this. Thanks again, and I look forward to the updates!
Hi, I was very keen to get the plug in between MS outlook and Zoho Projects. I got it. But the user interface and the range of functionalities are not in line what is usually required when you are trying to integrate these 2 apps.
1. Ability to view the zoho project tasks and add new projects/tasks from the outlook is absent. 2. Calendar events between both the calendars are not getting exchanged. In other words, both calendars should be synchornized. 3. The tutorial to go thro the steps for setting up this integration is not laid down very clearly through logical and sequential screen shots.
A good idea, but needs better implementation.
I'm sure Zoho can crack this. When this goes through, I can look at recommending this to my larger senior management group.
I'm willing to work with your team to bring more clarity, if required.
We couldn't find any support tickets related to your account with Zoho One Support. I'd suggest you write an email to support@zohoextensions.com so that we can assist you with the extension.
Needed this plugin badly, but I am disappointed that some of the most critical UI/UX features do come with it (ie. date/time selection direclty on calendar view, can't add invitee so that they receive a notification).
I think the real solution would be Zoho Calendar to GCal synching.
While creating an event using this extension from inside the Task Details tab or from the extension widget, it will give you the option to choose the date and time for when the meeting needs to be scheduled, and there is also an option to add an attendee to whom the invitation will be sent out.
Could you elaborate on where exactly you have issues with date and time selection and not being able to add invites so we can scrutinize and get it resolved quickly? I'd suggest writing to us at support@zohoextensions.com with the requisite details.
Could you elucidate on the concern where exactly you face the slowness with the extension while creating an event so that we can ascertain the cause of it? Also, you can drop us an email at support@zohoextensions.com to look into it deeply.
We have tabled the two-way sync feature as an enhancement request and will contemplate the workability to have it implemented down the lane. Please await further updates.
I went with another project management platform because this specific feature is so cumbersome (useless to me). Two other platforms (GoodDay & Smartsheet) I tried with calendar sync were seamless and useful. All I had to do was sign in to my google account and turn on sync. All my project tasks would 2 way sync, no problem. Your product was more difficult to get going and to sync a task, you appear to have to re-create the event within the task window. Why? I just want the task with assigned dates to show up in my calendar. When I first enquired about this sync I was told buy your support that you can't sync but only push an ical file to my calendar. After pushing further I was sent information about syncing google suite calendar, not my personal google calendar. Bottom line, I spent way too much time trying to get a feature working that never worked. I ended up going with Smartsheet.
Currently, this extension is designed in a way that it lets you create an event from inside the Task of a Project which will be associated to that task and automatically synced to your Google Calendar. However we will look into the feasibility of implementing a two-way sync feature down the lane.
If you require clarification or assistance, hit us up at support@zohoextensions.com. We'd be glad to help you.
At this time I have a few items I have concerns about: 1. It takes a very long time (8 to 10 hours) for a new Event scheduled in Projects to show-up in Google calendar. For Calendars and Projects this is not acceptable. 2. The updates to the Events in Projects DO NOT get synchronized to Google Calendar at all - not acceptable. 3. The synchronization is only one way - Projects to Google Calendar. The synchronization should be two way. Synchronization (additions, changes, deletions) from Google Calendar to Projects should also be supported.
It is really sad to know that the Google calendar extension did not properly. Could you please let me know what exactly was the issue? Were you having issues with the data sync? Did it take too long to sync?
Please send us a response to support@zohoprojects.com and we will check the details and assist you with it.
It would be useful to: - integrate it with Zoho Meeting to create online meetings - add special characters in the title - check calendar availability while creating the meeting
Thank you for your feedback. Your feedback is very precious and will be highly valued and seriously considered as the input for our product upgrade ideas. So, we will work on your requirement and try providing it in future updates after checking its feasibility.
The idea is good, but I have to face some issue with this, it does not sync from both side, 1. I try to create event from Zoho project, event created but it's not showing in my Zoho calendar, it;e there in google calendar, 2. when I create an event from google calender but still not sync with Zoho calendar, and now it's more difficult to maintain both calendars, my work is easy when both synced

Can't get it to save events when using my Android phone. Works better on my laptop, but even then I can't see my existing calendar when scheduling events, so it's hard to know what time slots I have open without having my Google Calendar open in another tab, which kind of defeats the purpose of doing it in Zoho projects. Great idea, but needs some tweaking.
