Automatically schedule tasks as events in Google Calendar

chzumbrunnen says:

There are already some cool ways to integrate RTM with Google, I know, but what I would love to see, is the possibility to add tasks into an existing calendar.

Maybe there is a way already, which I haven't seen yet but what I dream of is having each task from a certain lists or with a specified tag automatically inserted into a user defined Google calendar.

It's again more project management functionality but I think RTM would be able to help here.

Here an example of what I mean:

I have a task "Explaining Debbie how RTM works ^20.02.2010 !2 #Work @Location =30min"

Now RTM would magically enter this task into my Google work calendar on 20.02.2010...

Now, it's a little difficult for RTM to know at what time it should schedule this task into the calendar since it depends on other tasks and appointements on that day... so I propably had to be able to tell RTM my working hours and it should be able to schedule my task to the latest possible date/time not scheduled with any other RTM task during my official work hours and before the due date.not more than n weeks before the due date.

This is a really good idea. The program needs to compute the total time for your tasks and place new ones in the future as you have budgeted time to do them. We have money budget programs galore but time is way more valuable (and fixed) and I've yet to set a personal time management that can tell me concretely whether I actually have time for a particular task and when. When I'm late for work, I want it to re-do my schedule and tell me which task just fell on the floor.

I just would love to see all my RTM tasks with due date will show up as events in Google calendar!

I think this would be a great improvement to today's google calendar addon, but would suggest to keep all Tasks in in an "RTM Task" Calendar.
Editing events in this calendar should reflect on the original tasks.

Great Idea, but if the integration with google calendar es hard, maybe you can include this in the weekly planner.

Fellas, you can do this. Here is what I did...

1.) Copy the URL to the Rememeber the Milk in iCal format. You can find it in Settings --> Info --> iCalendar Service (All Lists) (i.e. webcal://www.rememberthemilk.com/icalendar/{your-rtm-username}/

2.) Login to Google Calendar and add a Calendar by "Add by Url" option. Paste the URL in the box and click OK

3.) Done

Is there a feature that you are looking for that this does not resolve? I personally can see the calendar events on my computer browser and my mobile phone (I have an Android OS Phone) so I'm not aware that there is any other need. I even setup a Calendar notification so the tasks are emailed to me daily. What more would you want.

I tried this with taskline and outlook, unfortunately the estimated time value got lost after syncing and you need outlook which was just there because I have not found another app that can automatically schedule tasks.

Taskline online, that would be epic.

Automatic scheduling within RTM, that would be epic and integrated solution.
