Calendar
Schedule events and keep them in sync with Google
The calendar holds your events and meetings, and can sync two ways with Google Calendar. Scheduled tasks show up here too, so your day is in one view.
Creating an Event
- Click New Event, or click a time slot in Day or Week view.
- Enter a title (required) and pick an event type.
- Set the start and end (or mark it All day).
- For a meeting, choose a meeting type. Picking Google Meet generates a link automatically on save.
- Add a location, color, and description, then create the event.
Event Types
- Event, Meeting, Focus Block, Reminder, and Out of Office
Views
Switch between Agenda, Day, Week, and Month. Drag an event to a new slot to reschedule it.
Tasks on the Calendar
Tasks that have a scheduledtime block appear on the calendar alongside events. A task with only a due date (no scheduled block) doesn't show up here. See Tasks for scheduling.
Google Calendar Sync
Connect Google Calendar to sync both ways: events from Google appear in Helm, and Helm events (and exported scheduled tasks) appear in Google. See Google Calendar for setup.
Good to Know
The calendar focuses on your own events. It doesn't yet support recurring events, per-event reminders, or attendee invitations from inside Helm; use Google Calendar for those.
