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.

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.

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over to whichever calendar Chili Piper is connected to, and that copy over may not be immediate, which can result in outdated availability displayed.
