Often, Google calendar events do not automatically come with images. So, Revisual.io has found a way around that.

2024.04.07 The process of pulling in your event images has changed slightly.

Let's see how this ninja trick works.

We created a Google calendar event named Cook for New Year's Celebration.

HERE'S THE NINJA TRICK

***This all happens within your Google Calendar account.***

Check out the turquoise box in the image below. It is an attachment of a great image for our event.

After another Quick Sync to update things, here is how the event now displays in our

Revisual calendar view:

Definitely a lot more exciting, right?
