Automagic cannot see "Work Mode" Calendar

Post by moonspeak » 01 May 2018 15:15

I used to use Automagic to automatically toggle DND mode when I had specific work meetings come up. Previously it was able to read my work calendar because I had the account added as a regular Google account on my phone.

However, now I have to set up my work account under a "Work Profile", and as such, Automagic does not see that calendar. I'm not sure if there's a layer of security preventing it or just a result of how the work profile is siloed off from the rest of the system. Hopefully it's just something that can be worked around?


PS: Sorry if this has been discussed previously. I searched google and the forums, but couldn't find anything.

No one answer yet. I actually also don't know much about this. AFAI-Read, work mode will separate the app completely, just like login to a new user. So the home user can't access anything that the work user has (and vice versa). Probably that's how it supposed to work (security layer). The workaround maybe to query the calendar from work account everyday (at 00:00) and recreate the same event on the non work profile. Or maybe using some sort of things or files that both account can access, probably write it to file and let the other profile pick up that file and add it to the calendar. I honestly still don't understand the problem here, because I don't use it. Just some random suggestion that might work.
