What's the point of having open standards if no-one follows them?Īnyway, to make a long story short, I wanted to get my Podio tasks to show up in Thunderbird as tasks, and not calendar events. I reached out to Podio's support team, and they explained that the reason for this is because Google doesn't support VTODOs in their calendar, so tasks would be lost.Īfter more digging, I also found out that Outlook doesn't support VTODO's in their remote calendar integration. The reason is that the iCal feed from Podio exports tasks as VEVENTs instead of VTOTOs. However, what I find quite annoying is that my tasks are in the calendar as events, and not in with my tasks in Thunderbird. I use this extensively in Thunderbird with the Lightning plugin to show my Podio appointments and boardroom availability in my calendar. Podio offers a few ways to integrate your calendar with outside systems, and one of them is the standard iCal format.
