Cross-posting

A meeting on one account blocks time on all of them

Colleagues at each organisation see you as busy, without seeing why. Tandem keeps the copies in step and never touches anyone else's events.

Privacy

Copies are private by default

A copy only needs to say you're busy. By default it's a private event with a plain title, and descriptions are left behind unless you choose otherwise.

  • Copies are private events by default
  • Location and description copied only if you turn them on
  • Copies show you as busy (or free, if you prefer)
  • Skipped when the other account already has the same invite

Modes

Busy, a placeholder, or the full details

Choose how much each copy says. Set a default, then override it for any pair of accounts, for example full details from work to personal and just Busy the other way.

  • Busy, a neutral placeholder title, or full details
  • Your own title template, like "Personal appointment"
  • A default rule plus per account-pair rules
  • A live example shows what a copy will look like

Filters

Only the meetings that matter

Not every event needs a copy. Leave out events marked free, all-day events, ones you've declined, or anything matching a keyword.

  • Skip events marked free
  • Skip all-day events
  • Skip events you've declined
  • Exclude events by keyword

Safety

Tandem only touches its own copies

Every copy is tagged as made by Tandem. Tandem only ever edits or deletes those copies. When the original changes, the copy follows; turn a rule off and its copies are removed.

  • Copies are tagged, and only tagged events are changed
  • Copies update when the original moves or changes
  • Copies are removed when a rule is turned off
  • Copies are removed if the original is deleted

How it works

Three steps

  1. Step 1: Connect your accounts

    Cross-posting works between any accounts you've connected.

  2. Step 2: Set a rule

    Choose Busy, placeholder or full details, plus filters.

  3. Step 3: Tandem keeps copies in step

    Copies are created, updated and removed after each sync.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will colleagues see what my meeting is about?
Not unless you choose full details. By default, copies are private events with a plain title like Busy.
Could Tandem change or delete my real events?
No. Tandem only edits or deletes events it created itself, which are tagged as Tandem copies. Your originals and other people's events are never touched.
What happens if I turn cross-posting off?
The copies made by that rule are removed from your calendars.
How fast do copies update?
Cross-posting runs after each sync, which happens every 10 minutes or when you press Sync now.
Does it work with Outlook?
Not yet. Cross-posting works between Google accounts today; Microsoft / Outlook calendars are coming soon.
