Questions about switching
Do my tasks, calendar and contacts come over?
Contacts come in from a CSV or vCard file exported from Google Contacts. Events come in from an .ics file, and tasks from a CSV file through Import Tasks, where you match its columns to task fields and check the preview.
Can I keep the calendar I already use?
Yes. Connect that mailbox in Mail and its calendar syncs with yours both ways, every five minutes, the newest change winning. A calendar you only follow comes in by its address.
What does Agenda add?
Every task given to you in every business you are connected to sits beside your own, each row naming its business, and a task from another business is marked done where you are. A business can give you a task only after you accept its invitation. Your booking pages can be free, paid in full or as a deposit, or held on a card, under a cancellation policy.
