The basics

Google events

Events from connected Google calendars are called Google events and are treated slightly differently from a “native” Cucumbar event

Google events will appear in timeline view with a square marker and a green banner at the top of the event form.

Edit google event form

Edit a Google event

Click on the event in timeline or list view to access the event form.

If you want to change the title or date of the event, click on the Edit in Google button. This will take you straight to the event in Google Calendar.

‘Title in Cucumbar’

This field allows you to create a specific Cucumbar title for a event that only shows in Cucumbar. This can be handy when you sync from read-only, shared calendars, or the title needs to differ in Cucumbar.

Reoccurring Google events

Cucumbar will import the first event but not the following reoccurring events. Reoccurring events can quickly clutter your timeline and so at this stage it is not a feature. However this is a design assumption so please let us know otherwise.

Confirm delete event

Deleting Google events

Deleting an event that is connected to your Google calendar will delete the event in Google, but only if “Delete from all calendars?” is selected and only if that Google calendar is still connected to Cucumbar.

Deleting events in Google will delete that event in Cucumbar, too.
