Using custom event titles for mirrored events

What are custom event titles?

Instead of the default “Busy” label, you can configure a connection to show a custom title on mirrored events. This gives people viewing the destination calendar a bit more context without revealing the full event details.

Setting a custom title

1. Go to your dashboard and open the connection you want to configure.
2. Find the mirrored event appearance setting.
3. Select Custom title.
4. Enter the title you want mirrored events to display, such as “Personal,” “Client meeting,” or “Family Block.”
5. Save the connection.

All future mirrored events from this connection will use your custom title.

Use cases

Custom titles are useful when a generic “Busy” is not enough context but full details would share too much:

• Freelancers: Show “Client work” or “Blocked” on client calendars so other clients know you are unavailable without seeing who you are meeting.
• Working parents: Show “Family Block” on your work calendar for school pickups and appointments.
• Side-business builders: Show “Evening commitment” on your day-job calendar for side-project meetings.

What is and is not shared

With a custom title, only the title you define and the time block are shown on the destination calendar. The original event’s description, location, attendees, and other details remain private.

Changing or removing a custom title

You can update the custom title or switch back to “Busy” blocks at any time from your connection settings. Changes apply to future mirrored events only — previously created events keep their existing title.
