How do I keep my personal calendar events private from my team?

Created by Valerie VanBooven, Modified on Sat, 14 Nov at 4:27 PM by Valerie VanBooven

When you connect a personal Google or Outlook calendar, your teammates may be able to see those event details in ASNSpark! CRM. Private Mode hides the details so others only see that you are busy.

Turn on Private Mode

You can change this setting in either of two places.

  • From your profile: go to Settings, then My Profile, scroll to Calendar Configuration and turn on Private Mode for Synced Events.
  • From calendar settings: go to Calendars, then Calendar Settings, then Connections, scroll to Private Mode for Synced Events and turn it on.

This setting is usually on by default. Check it if teammates can see your personal event names.

What changes when it is on

  • All synced events, public or private, show as Busy instead of showing the event name and details.
  • Only you, the person who connected the calendar, can see the details.
  • Your busy times still block your availability as normal.

Good to know

  • Private Mode works with Google and Outlook only.
  • iCloud events cannot be hidden. iCloud does not support private events, so all iCloud event details are visible to users in your account. Keep this in mind before connecting an iCloud calendar with sensitive personal appointments.
  • An event you marked private in Google or Outlook is always hidden in ASNSpark! CRM, even if Private Mode is off.
