Has anyone managed to sync Google Calendars with PlanMaker?
hello everyone, I've been trying to figure this out since moving over to SoftMaker Office NX and I'm starting to think I might be chasing something that simply doesn't exist. The word processor and spreadsheet apps have been great so far, no complaints there. But when it comes to calendar integration, I'm stuck. I use several Google calendars every day: a personal one, a work calendar, and a shared calendar with a few colleagues. What I'd like is to have all of them available inside PlanMaker without having to manually import or recreate events. I spent quite a while looking for a solution on Windows 11 and the only thing I found was the possibility of importing iCal files. From what I understand, that's basically a one-way import and it doesn't update automatically. Having to download a new .ics file every time something changes isn't really what I'd call synchronization. What I'm looking for is proper two-way sync. If I add or edit an appointment in PlanMaker, it should appear in Google Calendar, and changes made in Google should come back the other way as well. Has anyone found a workaround for this? Maybe a third-party tool, a Windows setup trick, or some SoftMaker feature I've completely overlooked? I'm running the current NX Home version. If this kind of synchronization simply isn't supported yet, that's useful to know too. I'd rather stop digging than keep searching for something that's not there. And if that's the case, has anyone already requested this feature from the SoftMaker team?

I really don't think this is possible. You need a dedicated Calendar program. I use Deja Office (Desktop and Android app) https://www.dejaoffice.com/. There are many others. While syncing data into a spreadsheet is possible (say, for tracking data collected in the field), the heavy lifting is done by specialized technologies-- syncing is not really a spreadsheet function. For Google, honestly, the easiest thing is just to view Google Calendar in a browser tab on your computer or the Calendar app on your phone.
