Calendar Sync by meeting type

Simply- Have HS sync the individual calendars within a sync'd Mail or calendar host account according/by the  Meeting/Call Types set up in HS instead of just the default calendar

 

all these calendar hosts  (Google/ Outlook/ iCal etc) have the ability create multiple calendars in thier own settings to set up diffent "calendars" within an account with differnt colors to know at a glance what type of meetings or activites are filling our day.

 

I would like Hubspot to update the Calendars integration so that when we book a meeting/ call/ activity on our calendar within HS and categorize it by our  Meeting/Call Types  it shows up on the corresponding calendar within that account instead of just the default calendar within that account.

I think you are actually wanting to use the category option of the meeting, instead of creating a hole new calendar for a spacific catergory of metting.

No,

I want when we choose a *Meeting Type> *Type 1 , Type 2 , type 3 etc...

That a that category would match a synced sub calendar within a google/
outlook account.

ie.,

Let's I have 3 meeting types in HS. * Call's, In-person Meetings and say
Product/ service Demos.*

On My Google Calendar I've marked these calendars *( Call's, In-person
Meetings and Product/ service Demos.)* by color and are separate
"calendars" within the main account. so I know at. glance what part of my
day and how much time i am spending in each activity at a quick 1 second
glance since my calendar shows the color of those calendars.

Currently-- The HS integration to calendars only connects to the Default
calendar of the google outlook account, and not the additional calendars
you create within that account.

Right now if I want to have my forms or my meeting links or send a meeting
invite they all go under the same default account instead of the
additionally created" sub" calendars that if i wanted the activity to that
specific calendar as I have done for years, it will remove it from my HS
calendar and if i book something outside of the HS app on that calendar it
will not pull data into the account as it is not synced with the sub
calendar, only the main default calendar of that account.

So i can get a bit hairy. the best way I can demonstrate it is looking at
the image below with different calendars, with different titles-- and
currently HS only has a 2 way integration with the default account and no
the additional created accounts and having the option to tie it to the
meeting type would offer a lot of flexibility -- does that make sense?
