Calendar Integration in Benji

Seamless Calendar Integration

Benji's calendar integration features allow you to connect your existing calendar services and view all your events, appointments, and tasks in one unified interface. This eliminates the need to switch between multiple apps and ensures you have a complete picture of your schedule.

Two-Way Synchronization

Benji offers two-way synchronization with your connected calendars, ensuring that:

• Events created in Benji appear in your external calendars
• Events created in external calendars appear in Benji
• Updates made in either system are reflected in both
• Deletions are synchronized across platforms

This bidirectional sync ensures that your schedule stays consistent no matter which tool you use to manage it.

Calendar Views

Benji provides multiple calendar views to help you visualize your schedule in the way that works best for you:

Smart Event Detection

Benji's smart event detection features automatically enhance your calendar events:

• Detect meeting links from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and other services
• Extract location information and provide directions when needed
• Identify attendees and link them to your contacts
• Recognize event types (meetings, appointments, travel, etc.) for better categorization

These intelligent features save you time and provide additional context for your events.

Calendar Color Coding

Keep your events organized and visually distinct with Benji's color coding system:

• Assign different colors to different calendars (work, personal, family, etc.)
• Color code events by type (meetings, appointments, social events)
• Use color to distinguish between different projects or areas of responsibility
• Customize your color scheme to match your preferences

Color coding makes it easy to quickly scan your calendar and understand what's coming up.

Calendar Notifications

Never miss an important event with Benji's flexible notification system:

• Set default notification times for different types of events
• Customize notifications for individual events
• Receive notifications via email, push notifications, or in-app alerts
• Get smart reminders that include travel time for location-based events
• Set up preparation reminders for meetings that require advance work

These notification options ensure you're always prepared for what's coming next in your day.

Integration with Todos and Tasks

Benji's calendar doesn't just show events—it integrates seamlessly with your tasks:

• Schedule specific times for your todos directly on your calendar
• See due dates for tasks that haven't been scheduled yet
• Drag and drop tasks onto your calendar to schedule them
• View task details and mark tasks complete without leaving the calendar view

This integration helps you plan your work more effectively and ensures that important tasks don't get lost among your calendar events.
