In one of its latest updates Google Calendar added the “Appointment Schedule” function with which you can create a shareable calendar with schedule availability so that your clients or contacts can book appointments directly. Now, in the most recent update, Google Calendar has added new features that many of you have been waiting for. Let's see what they are.
Simplified event and task creation
One of the main new features of Google Calendar is the ability to create events and tasks more quickly. From now on you will be able to access all the necessary options without having to navigate through complex menus thanks to the new and improved floating icon at the bottom right of the app.
With one click you can choose between creating an event or a task, and the interface will adapt to give you a personalized experience. You will also be able to make modifications directly from this view without having to open additional windows.
Seamless integration between Google Calendar and Google Tasks
Google Calendar has also been more tightly integrated with Google Tasks. With the latest update you will be able to manage your tasks without having to constantly change applications.
If you need more advanced functionality for your tasks, you can always access Google Tasks directly from Google Calendar. From Google Tasks you can assign dates and times to tasks. These tasks with assigned dates and times will appear in Google Calendar. Now you will have a better visualization and reminder of pending tasks.
Another new feature of the latest Google Calendar update is notifications. These will be generated after assigning the tasks with dates and times in Google calendar. That is to say, you will receive timely reminders about tasks you need to complete.
This seamless integration between Google Tasks and Google Calendar will help you stay focused and increase your productivity.
