This feature is now live!
You can now add add Ellie tasks directly to Google calendar (with 2-way syncing)
To enable this you can go to Settings -> Calendars and the new feature can be toggled on/off
You also now have control over the privacy of the calendar events and can make events appear as "Busy" on the calendar instead of adding the task description in the event title
I recorded a short video walking you through the feature if you want to see it in action 👇
Thank you to everyone who beta tested this and let me know if you have any issues!

Chris
Noah: Hey Noah! This works on iOS now :) You can go to Settings -> Calendar -> Google calendar and you should be able to activate it from there (also works activating from the web)

I wonder, will it retroactively put all past events we made in the calendar in one go as it updates when the system is implemented or will it start with new events added?
Chris
Adrift: It will only make changes moving forward. I ran this scenario by a few users and majority didn't want it to retroactively edit their past
Let me know if you have thoughts
