What it is

Google Calendar sync mirrors your Znift tasks that have a dueTime onto your Google Calendar as events. If you live in your calendar, this brings Znift’s due-time tasks into the same view as your meetings and time blocks.

​
What syncs

  • Tasks with a dueTime set — these become calendar events at the specified time.
  • Event title — the task text.
  • Event duration — each event is a fixed 30-minute block starting at the task’s due time. Task-level durations (from Natural time input) are stored in Znift but aren’t reflected in calendar event length in v1.
  • Event description — includes the task priority and a link back to Znift.
Tasks without a dueTime are not synced. The calendar is not a substitute for the Znift dashboard — only time-attached tasks appear.

​
How to connect

  1. Sign in to Znift.
  2. Go to Profile → Integrations.
  3. Click Connect Google Calendar.
  4. Authorize the requested scopes in the Google consent screen. Znift requests only the minimum scopes needed to write events to a dedicated “Znift” calendar.
  5. Once connected, new tasks with a dueTime appear on your Google Calendar within a few seconds.

​
How to disconnect

  1. Go to Profile → Integrations.
  2. Click Disconnect Google Calendar.
Disconnecting stops new syncs immediately. Events already written to your calendar stay there until you remove them manually — Znift does not delete past events on disconnect.

​
Behavior on edits

  • Edit a task’s text or due time → the corresponding Google Calendar event updates.
  • Delete or archive a task → the event is removed from Google Calendar.
  • Clear the dueTime on a task → the event is removed from Google Calendar (the task itself stays in Znift).
