Importing Events

Importing events helps you move existing calendar work into Bluprint without retyping everything.

Use it when your team already has meetings, reminders, filming blocks, release dates, or planning sessions in Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar.

Start the Import

Open a Master Calendar or Content Calendar, then use the calendar overflow menu.

Expand

Choose:

• From Google Calendar for Google calendars.
• From Outlook Calendar for Microsoft Outlook calendars.

Pick What to Import

The import flow lets you choose a source calendar, choose a date range, fetch matching events, select the events you want, and map their event types before importing.

If you import from a Content Calendar, imported events can be scoped to that Channel. If you import from the Master Calendar, imported events belong to the Bluprint-level schedule unless you later assign a Channel.

Map Event Types

Imported events need Bluprint event types so the calendar stays scannable. Most generic meetings can be Reminder or Planning. Production items should use more specific types like Filming, Editing, Release, or a custom event type.

After Importing

After the import finishes:

• Review the imported events on the calendar.
• Link production events to Ideas where useful.
• Adjust titles, dates, Channel, reminders, and event types.
• Delete any imported events that were only noise.
