Hi!

I want to send OmniFocus tasks to my google Calendar, But cannot do this.
I’ve made settings in Calendar reminder like here https://support.omnigroup.com/omnifocus-ical-sync/
but it does not help

well, I did remember a blog article for OmniFocus to Fantastical.

I know you can just drag and drop an OmniFocus task to the calendar app.Then change the appointment time.

I did see this Applescript in the other forum.

How to send a task to iCal? (Apple Script)

This should get you pointed in the right direction. Notes and disclaimers: this is quick and dirty, nested tell blocks are generally frowned upon, there’s no error capture; works on tasks only; tasks are added to calendar on their start date at their start time, blank start dates are added to calendar at “now” time; if all the tasks selected are the default start time, it’s going to make a big pile of calendar events at that time; tasks without estimated minutes are given a 15-minute block. …

I’m no Applescript guru so you might have to direct the question in the other conversation.

Works well, thanx.

How can I make sure that identical Task Names ar not imported twice, or better only updated ?

and

Like in this Expl wit “Wunderlist”, could exported Tasks automatically be added at a “Open Time Slot”.
As WUnderlist & Google Calendar tried, I want to add some "Time Slots " for creative time blockings. And Timeslots for daily erands, or boring office time. I would try to “Replace” that iCal event by the exportet Task of that particular segment.

That might be something to ask in the Automation section…

Someone might take up on the challenge.

I did see one Keyboard Maestro script that uses a specific calendar. It erases all the events in that calendar and then repopulates the calendar by cycling through all the tasks and creates new calendar items.
