Hi! Is there a way to customize the way iCal integration creates an event?

I use Google Calendar and the Checkvist iCal integrations looks great, but:

1. It could be great to use task note as the event description. Now, the events shows only the task title as the event title and there's no event description.

2. It could be great if the event has an URL link to the task in the Checkvist list.

3. It could be great too if we can have separate iCal sources for each list.

Thanks a lot!

    Hi,

    Please see my answers below.

    1. This should already work. All notes added to the list item with due should be converted to event description.
    2. We publish the URL as "event URL" but unfortunately, google calendar does not show this information. It is visible in other calendar apps like MacOS Calendar app.
    3. Thanks for the suggestion, please vote for https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/6239632-ical-feed-for-specific-lists-branches-nodes . You'll be notified when we fix this.

    Thanks!

    Hi again, Kirill Maximov. Investigating a bit deeper, I can see that Trello's solution of the "event URL" problem is, simply, to append the "card URL" at the end of the event description. That way, they guarantees that all calendar apps (including Google Calendar) shows it.

    What about develop an user option to always append the event URL in the event description when integrating with calendar apps?

    Thanks again,

    Ricardo.

    Hello Ricardo,

    This is a good idea. Please check out https://beta.checkvist.com (same login/password) - I've implemented this approach there (it was a quick fix). Please let me know what you think.

    Best,

Hello friends

Hello friends, Recently we've got a request to introduce a shortcut to move items to the first/last position on the current level of hierarchy: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current And this bring me to a thought to use the current shortcut (Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End) for this purpose. But with an extension - if an item is already on the top position on the current hierarchy level, Ctrl+Home would move item one level up (and put it at the beginning of this level). This will break the current behaviour (moving item to the beginning of the list), but probably will make this shortcut more useful. What do you think? https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l
