Use multiple Google Calendars

As a follow up to a conversation I had with Jared Wexler, I'd like to request a feature to natively allow multiple calendars in Chili Piper. Right now, I connect CP to my work calendar (where the license is tied to), but it only accesses and blocks time from events within that calendar. As there is no sync option in Gcal between calendars (only sharing/visibility), it doesn't recognize events I'm already booked for on my other calendars. Can we investigate connecting multiple per user, with the goal of only allowing Chili Piper to book time when availability is seen across all connected calendars? Additionally, some method of ignoring specific events based on keyword/tag/categorization would be helpful too. For example, I may have an event that is for reference on a calendar that is okay to book over, or tentative, etc. Ideally we can allow customization/modification based on user preference to fine tune the setup per their needs.

    Agree - this is incredibly important for us. Want to blocked elements on personal calendars to be reflected on professional.

    This is a critical feature indeed. With today's remote world, people use multiple calendars (work, personal, shared family calendars, etc) that impact their availability.

    Calendly offers this feature and it feels super safe that no overbooking occurs.
    Hopefully this is easy for Chilipiper to implement.

    Outlook now moves calendar events older than a year to Archives. This does not delete the event, but moves it to a different calendar. Currently, ChiliPiper does not allow two different calendars to be connected to one user. This is causing the sync between ChiliPiper and Salesforce to mark these year+ old calendar events as Cancelled and Not Held since they are gone from the users' original calendar. This is altering our historical data.

    The ability to have multiple Google calendars synching to one CP account is crucial for my team. Calendly already has this feature and we are having a hard time committing to CP without this feature being available.

    The ability to support multiple calendars for availability, in my case from multiple Google accounts is critical. Without this feature, moving from Calendly which supports this feature natively, to Chili Piper will not be a viable option.

    Would love to echo this. Really would love the ability to pull availability from different calendars.

    It would be amazing to be able to schedule meeting on one of an Assignee's non-Primary or Additional Calendars in Google.

    (Calendly allows this...)

    This was a feature some of our teams used in Calendly that we'd love to see implemented in Chili Piper. Our use case is for Chili Piper users who use multiple calendars (ex. a team calendar, a personal calendar, and a work calendar). Right now it's only possible to connect to one of those, which means events from the other(s) need to be copied over to whichever calendar Chili Piper is connected to, and that copy over may not be immediate, which can result in outdated availability displayed.

    Hi there,I would like to be able to read the availability from multiple google calendars, (to pull availability of an onboarding team who are all required to be on one Kickoff Call with a client), and be able to offer one link for a client to book a call that would then schedule the call with all required attendees. There is currently the option to offer specific dates to book to multiple calendars, but not one link to book on multiple internal calendars when a client clicks the link to book the meeting.Thank you, this is very important for an enterprise onboarding use case for my SaaS company.Thank you,Vanessa
