Using Google Calendar to view tasks and their due dates for your projects is a great way to\u00a0get organized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can prioritize your workday and never miss deadlines. Google Calendar is one of the most popular and versatile calendars in the market today. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is trusted and used by millions of people all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

A great benefit of Google calendar is that it sends you email and SMS notification before a task is due. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can set the exact time you would like to get notifications.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That is why we have integrated our project management application with Google Calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you already know, Binfire has its own robust calendar which has more features than Google Calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a workspace calendar that shows items from all your projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each project has its own calendar which only shows items related to that project only.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Binfire we have done deep integration between our calendar and Google Calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Binfire’s calendar supports the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

1-Tasks<\/span><\/p>\n

2-Subtasks<\/span><\/p>\n

3-Milestones<\/span><\/p>\n

4-Issues<\/span><\/p>\n

5-Out of office\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

6-vacation time<\/span><\/p>\n

7-Holidays<\/span><\/p>\n

8-Events (conferences, demo session, etc)<\/span><\/p>\n

You can add or edit any of the above items right in Binfire calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n

To edit an item either drag it across the calendar to change the start date or the due date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To change other details for an item, click on that item and a quick editor opens which allows you to modify any detail in that item.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can choose to sync your tasks in the\u00a0task management<\/a> page in Binfire with Google calendar. <\/span><\/p>\n

To do so, click on the three-dot\u00a0(…) icon on top of the task list and choose sync with Google Calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are taken to Google pages to give permission for syncing your tasks with Google calendar. <\/span><\/p>\n

After you give permissions all your task’s dues dates show on your Google Calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note you need a google account to be able to sync Binfire calendar with Google Calendar.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When tasks have been synced with calendar all tasks and their due dates are shown on the Google calendar as horizontal\u00a0bars.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a side benefit,\u00a0Google<\/a> enables you to get email reminders and desktop notifications from\u00a0the calendar when a task is due soon. <\/span><\/p>\n

This works across all devices, PC, smartphones, and tablets. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can\u00a0set the calendar to send you a notification any time prior to the task’s due date. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is a great feature which makes managing and tracking your tasks easier and reduces the of missing deadlines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sync with Google Calendar<\/span><\/h2>\n

When logged into Binfire\u00a0go to the tasks page\u00a0in each project. <\/span><\/p>\n

In that page, you can find the controls for connecting and syncing your task page with Google. <\/span><\/p>\n

Click on the context menu “…” on the left column. A menu bar opens. One of the options in this menu is called “Sync with Google Calendar”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Select Sync with Google calendar, you are taken to Google site to give permission to sync both applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

After you give\u00a0your permission, all your tasks are shown and synced\u00a0in both calendars.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the\u00a0Google\u00a0Calendar, we have integrated our application with Google Drive and Google Docs.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

You can bring all files from Google drive to your projects and attach them to tasks, bugs, messages or comments.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can view most Google files like Google Sheets<\/a>, Google Slides and Google Docs right in Binfire.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are working very hard to help our\u00a0users to do their job more efficiently by Integrating Binfire with applications they use every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are also adding our own workspace and project-specific calendars. In the workspace\u00a0calendar, all tasks, bugs, and, vacation, holidays, and events which are shown.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the project calendar, only tasks, bugs and holidays associated with that project are shown. You can filter the calendar per user, per project, and per category.<\/span><\/p>\n

We love to hear from our customers which applications they would like us to integrate with. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to Google Drive and Calendar, we plan to do more Google integration<\/a> like Gmail, Gsuite, Google Hangouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have also DropBox integration. What do you think is more important, accounting pages, a CRM or a communication app like Slack<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
