      How Unito creates new Google Calendar events

      When creating new events in Google Calendar to keep in sync with work items in other tools, Unito will use Start date, Start time, Due date, and Due date time to schedule the event. Note that their names might be a bit different depending on the tool you’re using.

      Here’s what you can expect, depending on which fields are available in the original tool and the fields you’ve mapped:

      What happens in Google Calendar? Start date Start time Due date Due date time
      Create an all-day event. ✔      
          ✔  
      Unito will determine the event end date and time based on your default meeting duration set in Google Calendar (~ 1 hour after). ✔ ✔    
          ✔ ✔
      Create an all-day event if the start and due date are on the same day.

      OR

      Create a multi-day event if the start date and due date are days apart.      		 ✔   ✔
