Connecting Your Calendars to ByDesign

ByDesign supports smooth integration with your existing calendars—so your schedule lives in one place and you never miss a beat.

Written By Chirali Jain

When & How to Integrate

You can connect your calendars at two points:

  • During onboarding: Right after signing up, you’ll see a screen prompting you to connect your Google or Outlook calendar.

  • After onboarding: If you skipped the step, you can connect calendars anytime from your Settings → Calendar & Integrations.

📤 What’s Supported Right Now

ByDesign currently supports:

  • One-way sync (view external calendars inside ByDesign)

  • Two-way push (push events created in ByDesign to your external calendar)

Supported services:

  • Google Calendar

  • Apple Calendar

  • Outlook Calendar

Note:
Full two-way sync (changes made in Google/Outlook reflecting back into ByDesign) is coming soon.

🔁 How Calendar Sync Works

  • Events created in ByDesign can be pushed to the external calendar of your choice

  • You can set a default calendar for pushing events (in Settings → Calendar & Integrations)

  • When creating/editing an event or habit in ByDesign, you can also choose to override the default calendar and pick a different one

This setup helps keep your professional and personal life in sync—without duplicating anything manually.

🛠 Set Your Default External Calendar

When you push tasks or events to a calendar, ByDesign uses your default calendar.
You can set or change this from:
Settings → Calendar & Integrations → Default Calendar

You can also manually override it anytime while creating/editing an event, task, or habit.
