Last Updated: 04/30/2012

Below is a list of feature requests for gSyncit that have been collected from users over time that may be included in a future release with other planned functionality. If you have a feature request please contact support and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

  • Ability to invoke/control the sync process from a command-line or windows scheduled task

  • Ignore one-off contacts associated with distribution lists since gSyncit currently cannot sync these entries with Gmail contacts. This will prevent items from being deleted.

  • Ability to filter which categories are applied to the Toodledo advanced category filtering options. This allows only syncing specific categories in conjunction with the advanced category filtering options.

  • Ability/option to enable/disable syncing notes from Gmail to Outlook to allow protecting Outlook notes formatting using rich text from being overwritten by Gmail notes. Gmail contacts do allow for RTF formatting and during the sync if the Outlook contact is updated and existing RTF formatting will be lost.   

  • Ability to include/exclude the prefix character used when mappings that start with a specific character with specific Toodledo task fields. Currently categories that start with "@Category" will appear as "Category" in Toodledo when using the Advanced . Users would like that the "@Category" value is stored in Toodledo and the "@" remain in the name of the category.

    [X] Include prefix in Toodledo field value

  • Ability to over-ride the default reminder sync options when syncing with Google events to always force the Google Calendar default reminders to be used when updating any Google events. For example if sync reminders is enabled and an Outlook event does or does not have a reminder then the Google event will always use the Google Calendar default reminders when updated by gSyncit.

  • HIGH: Add the ability to sync Outlook follow-up tasks with Google tasks, Toodledo tasks, Nozbe tasks or Google calendar.

  • HIGH: To address how mobile phones deal with phone extensions users have requested a feature to replace the "x" or prefix phone number extensions with a sequence of codes when updating Gmail so that when synced with a mobile phone the number with extension can be dialed correctly. For example "x" is replaced with ",;,;", "W", or "E" depending on the phone which allows for introducing pause commands after the number is dialed and before the extension is sent. A new configuration option like replace "x" with ",,," or [x] Prefix phone number extensions with [....] when updating Gmail phone numbers should address this request.

  • Ability to sync the assignment value associated with a Outlook task with a Toodledo folder, context, or tag value.

  • When showing events to delete show the times in the local time zone instead of the time zone local to the event.

  • Ability to sync tags/labels in Evernote, Gmail, Simplenote with Outlook categories.

  • HIGH: Ability to sync Outlook tasks with Toodledo based on the private flag as a way to filter items. Also, a way to store the public/private flag on a Toodledo task in the context or other field.

  • Ability to include/excluded (filter) calendar events based on the event status. For example, being able to only sync items marked as Out of Office allowing for the ability to have a out-of-office calendar that only shows events out of the office.

  • Ability to sync the Gmail "iPhone" phone number fields with the Outlook "mobile" field. If a "iPhone" phone number exists in Gmail then it should sync to the Outlook "Mobile" field. If one does not exist then the default "mobile" number is used.

  • Ability to sync Toodledo tasks with Outlook calendars.

  • Preserve RTF formatting for Outlook items when updating an item from Google where the contents of the item have not changed.

Currently, when Outlook events are created a reminder is set using the default Outlook reminder settings. Users would like to override this default logic for events created from the Google calendar.

  • Users have requested the ability to sync Outlook notes with the Gmail notes group so that notes will appear on the iPhone which syncs notes to this group vs. Google documents.

  • Users have suggested providing a wizard like interface for initially configuring gSyncit.

  • User has requested that the sync process clearly indicate that is deleting a duplicate event vs. a non-duplicated event.
