Notes

• The system does not copy attendees in an event. To prevent circulating the copied event back to attendees, this action is taken.
• Copying calendar events is NOT the same as syncing calendar events. The copied calendar event is disconnected from the source calendar event. Deleting/updating one won't affect the other. If you'd like to sync events between two calendars, add the destination calendar as an attendee and let the destination calendar auto accept the event invite instead.
• If you want to copy calendar events across Google accounts, you need to first subscribe to calendars.
• When you copy events among several calendars in bi-directions, make sure you unchecked the Include events created by Foresight option in the New Calendar event trigger.
