Show your private calendar as busy at work

Colleagues book you for a meeting while you are at the dentist. They cannot see your private calendar, so they do not know. This guide puts a “Busy” block in your work calendar for each private appointment, and nothing else.

Steps

1. Deploy slotmirror with the Quickstart and connect your work and your private account.
2. In Where your events go, add both calendars to the group Block each other.
3. Expand the card of the private account. Keep As busy for the work calendar.
4. Under For all calendars, keep Mark copies as private on. Colleagues then see “Private”. You still see everything.
5. Choose Save.

Choose the title of the blocks

The blocks carry the title from Title of busy blocks, for example “Busy” or “Blocked”. The title, the location and the attendees of the private appointment do not reach the work calendar.

For a team

An admin can enforce this for everyone: MAX_DETAIL_FROM_EXTERNAL=busy caps every direction from a private account to a work account at “Busy”. See Organisations.
