Sync_My_Calendar

This is a Google App Script that helps sync your personal calendar to your work calendar automatically. All the events in your personal calendar will be synced as "Personal Busy Block" in your work calendar.

Ongoing work

I am thinking to add more features to this script.

1. The ability to restrict to certain times (i.e. 6AM to 6PM), but an event is considered INSIDE that time zone if ANY part of an event overlaps with that code.
2. More options
   1. copy over the subject name with a prefix [COPY] - ORIGINAL SUBJECT NAME (i.e.)
   2. copy over the location
   3. copy over the description / notes.
3. Automate Testing
