Trello stands out as a widely utilized tool for managing projects, enabling task organization and teamwork facilitation. Nonetheless, managing and staying on top of all tasks and their deadlines can prove challenging without a visual aid. Google Calendar addresses this issue beautifully! When you integrate Trello and Google Calendar, it becomes effortless to view all impending tasks and events collectively in a single location.
Step 1: Create a Trello Board
If you haven’t already, create a Trello board for your project or task list. You can customize the board with different lists and cards to fit your needs. Once you have created your board, you can start linking it with Google Calendar.
Step 2: Install the Power-Up
To link Trello with Google Calendar, you will need to install the Trello Power-Up for Google Calendar. This Power-Up allows you to sync your Trello cards with your Google Calendar events. To install the Power-Up, go to the menu in the top right corner of your Trello board and select “Power-Ups.” From there, search for “Google Calendar” and click on it. Follow the prompts to connect your Google account and enable the Power-Up.
Step 3: Set Up Your Sync
Once you have installed the Power-Up, you can start syncing your Trello cards with your Google Calendar events. To do this, go to the menu in the top right corner of your Trello board and select “Settings.” From there, click on “Power-Ups” and then “Google Calendar.” You will see a list of all your Trello boards that are connected to Google Calendar. Click on the board you want to sync and select the lists and cards you want to include in your sync.
Step 4: Customize Your Sync
You can customize your sync by selecting which fields from Trello will be synced with Google Calendar. For example, you can choose to sync the due date of a card with an event in Google Calendar. You can also select whether or not to include attachments and comments in your sync.
Step 5: View Your Sync
Once you have set up your sync, you can view it by going to your Google Calendar and selecting “My Calendars” from the left-hand menu. You should see a calendar labeled with the name of your Trello board. Click on this calendar to view all your synced events.
Conclusion
Linking Trello with Google Calendar is a great way to stay organized and keep track of all your tasks and deadlines. By following these simple steps, you can easily sync your Trello cards with your Google Calendar events and view them in one place.
