Show Google Calendar events in Workload view
Megan Ellman
[from ticket] I want to include my events from my calendar/Google calendar on my workload?
It looks like I have availability/capacity for more tasks but then I realise I have 3 meetings for 3hrs

this is a FUNDAMENTAL request without which it is impossible to plan.

Hi everyone, I join the request: seeing Google Calendar events in the Workload view would make the data much more realistic.
Today, Workload calculates capacity only on assigned tasks, time estimates, and working hours. So a person with 3 3-hour meetings may appear as' available 'and receive other activities that they then cannot carry out.
In the meantime, these workarounds help limit the problem:
- Transform recurring meetings into tasks with an estimated time (e.g. daily, weekly, sync with customers). So they enter into the load calculation.
- Reduce the capacity in the Workload settings to account for meeting hours (e.g. 6h/day instead of 8h).
- Use the Calendar view with Google Calendar sync to check the full picture before assigning new tasks.
None of these solutions are as dynamic as native integration would be, so I'm leaving my vote to the feature. It would be ideal to be able to choose which calendars to include and possibly exclude 'Free' events or personal commitments.

Yes, please! This is essential to accurate capacity planning. And not just Google Calendar, Outlook as well. Or maybe, whatever the user has synced in their Planner.

How do I upvote this? 10000% Critical need!

How is this still not on the roadmap after 5+ years while things that only have a handful of votes are actively being worked on, completed, or planned?
I literally have to have someone on my team add tasks in for every single calendar event that I have in order to manage my workload properly.

Please ensure that all calendar/planner and Workload enhancements are applied equally at the same time for Microsoft Outlook as for Google. Not everyone uses Google and the same requirements apply whichever calendar you make use of.
Thanks

Have meeting durations count toward workload

I would love to have the option to make meeting durations, whether scheduled in ClickUp or imported from Google Calendar, Outlook, etc., count as task hours when calculating workload. For example: If I have 8 hours to work in a day with 3 hours of meetings, I only have 5 hours to work on tasks. This makes looking at a workload view inaccurate because the workload view isn't subtracting my time in meetings from the available time I have to work on scheduled tasks.

Workload view should be able to account for meeting schedule in addition to tasks
