Hi Taskaders  🎉

We have an exciting update for you this week. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

> **TL;DR:** 2-way Google Calendar sync shipped in 2021 was the first thread of what's now [100+ integrations](https://www.taskade.com/integrations) and full [Automations](https://www.taskade.com/automate) across [AI Agents](https://www.taskade.com/agents). [Taskade Genesis](https://www.taskade.com/create) turns any prompt into a living app, scheduling included — backed by frontier AI models.

> **Then → Now:** One Google Calendar bridge then. Today, [100+ integrations](https://www.taskade.com/integrations) plus event-driven [Automations](https://www.taskade.com/automate) trigger work across [multiple project views](https://www.taskade.com/templates) the moment a calendar event fires.

## ************⚡️ 2-Way Google Calendar Sync************

Events created in Google Calendar will appear as unassigned events in your Taskade Calendar. To add the event to a project, simply click on the event and assign a project.

## ************😀 Start Time & Repeating Tasks************

## 🔁 From a single sync to event-driven Workspace DNA

The 2021 Google Calendar bridge was Taskade's first taste of bidirectional state. Today every event is a *trigger* into the [Memory + Intelligence + Execution](https://www.taskade.com/create) loop.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does Taskade support 2-way Google Calendar sync?

Yes. Taskade integrates with Google Calendar for bidirectional syncing. Events created in Google Calendar appear in your Taskade Calendar, and tasks with due dates in Taskade show up in Google Calendar. Enable it from the Integrations page in your Taskade settings.

### Can I set start and end times for tasks in Taskade?

Yes. The date picker supports both start and end dates with specific times, giving you precise control over task scheduling. Set a start time for when work should begin and an end time for the deadline — both sync with your calendar views and integrations.

### Does Taskade support custom repeating task intervals?

Yes. Configure recurring tasks with custom intervals by Day, Week, Month, or Year. Set a task to repeat every 3 days, every 2 weeks, on specific weekdays, or any custom schedule that fits your workflow. Completed recurring tasks automatically generate the next occurrence.

### Does text formatting carry over when copying tasks between Taskade projects?

Yes. When you copy and paste tasks between Taskade projects, text formatting (bold, italic, highlights, etc.) is preserved along with the task hierarchy and completion status. This makes it easy to reuse structured content across different projects.
