Dear Asana Developer Team(s),

i _love_ your product, i really do. Its my most used app, by far.  
There is something that i do not understand. Maybe i searched the wrong way, maybe it’s just missing feature.

It does not seem to be possible to **schedule tasks in Asana or Google Calendar** and **sync them accross the platforms**.

If i create a task in Asana, it only shows up as a _daily appointment_ in the calendar, which (i can only speak to myself and the internet entries i’ve read) is almost completely useless. [I apologize for the harsh words, but really: Is a daily appointment of any use for a task?]  
**So, Nr. 1:** It would be an awesome feature to **schedule tasks in asana** , so that they show up **in the calendar for a certain time** (e.g. Asana: “Prepare Slides” → GC: 10:00 - 11:30)

And then: Since i already have a _specific calendar_ in my Google Calendar Account for Asana, it would be great, if i **create an event in this calendar** and **it gets transferred to my tasks in Asana**.  
So, Nr. 2: It would be another awesome feature to have a back and forth sync between GC and Asana.

I did my research through the forums and i am pretty confident that the combination of Google Calendar and Asana as main apps is very common. So a lot of individual users would be very happy to see these features in the near future.

Hope to hear from you.

Best regards

You are right for both: 1. the time does not appear in the calendar and 2. the sync is not two ways. You can add your voice to the existing threads.

> So I can have 5-7 tasks in a day but where is the feature (or field) to be able to give that tasks a timeframe or block like you would an event in Google Calendar? This way you could literally plan your day by tasks. For instance, Monday: TaskWeekly Meeting & KPI’s review (reoccurring task on Mondays) from 9 AM-10AM. Task Review Customer Calls and actions from 10:30-11:00 AM And so on. Asana is a great tool but it leaves a lot to be desired as a time management tool. It’s easy to overschedul…

> Hi, just want to go on the record here and acknowledge that I will probably give up on using Asana soon without a significant improvement to the google calendar integration. In its current state it is useless to me. Updating just twice a day does not help me keep track of a busy and dynamic schedule, nor does it help me integrate the power of google calendar to support calendar invites to meetings, switching a meeting task to a google hangout, etc. etc. Real time, two way google calendar integra…
