    New Appointment in Method should use What not Who for Google Calendar Event

    When creating a new activity in Method such as a New Appointment, why is the Contact info (example: Meeting for Name, Phone Number) putting this in the Event Title in the Google Calendar? If I create an event in Google this is the "what" not the "who" so why can't we have the contact's email address put in as the guest email instead and have another field in Method solely for the event's title so that this syncs properly to Google?

    Thanks,

    Brett

    Hello Brett,

       I have had similar question before.  We are constrained with what the Google Calendar gives us. It's the way developers could do it when they built the sync. We can put this in as a feature request for the Google Calendar but I don't know if it is possible for future development.

    I was going to add, maybe forget the email address as I can understand that contraint, but since Method can already push the Activity Type + "for" + Contact + ", " + Contact Phone into the event title, maybe give us the option to put in our own event title instead via a separate field.

    Thanks for putting this in as a feature request.
