When Calendrz creates a marker event on your calendar, the event title (or “summary”) is what you see at a glance. By default, it might say something like “Busy — calendrz.com.” But for users who want more context — or more branding control — Calendrz offers custom summary macros.
Macros are placeholders that get replaced with real data when the marker is created. They let you build summary formats that are informative for you without leaking details to others.
Available Macros
Calendrz supports several macros you can use in your summary format:
$email— The email address of the account that originated the event (e.g., “john@clienta.com”)$domain— The domain portion of that email (e.g., “clienta.com”)$account_name— The friendly name you’ve given the connected account (e.g., “Acme Consulting”)
You can combine these with static text to create any format you like.
Example Summary Formats
| Format | Result | Best For |
|---|---|---|
Blocked — $domain |
Blocked — clienta.com | Consultants with multiple clients |
$account_name |
Acme Consulting | Clean, professional look |
Busy ($email) |
Busy (john@acme.com) | Detailed personal reference |
🔒 $domain |
🔒 clienta.com | Visual distinction with lock icon |
Calendrz — Busy |
Calendrz — Busy | Simple, no dynamic data |
Why This Matters for Consultants
If you work with multiple clients, your calendar can quickly become confusing. Which blocker is from which account? Is this one your personal calendar or your client’s?
Using $domain or $account_name in your summary format answers that question instantly — without revealing the actual meeting details to anyone who might have view access to your calendar.
For example, if you see three blockers on your Friday afternoon:
- “Blocked — acme.com” (Client A’s meeting)
- “Blocked — widgets.co” (Client B’s meeting)
- “Blocked — gmail.com” (personal appointment)
You immediately know which engagement is blocking each slot. That’s the right balance of context and privacy.
How to Configure Your Summary Format
- Go to app.calendrz.com
- Open your mirror preferences
- Find the Summary Format field
- Enter your preferred format using any combination of macros and static text
- Save — new markers will use the updated format on the next sync
The format applies globally across all your connected calendars. Each marker will populate the macros with data from the account that originated the event.
Combine with Marker Colours
Summary macros work beautifully alongside Calendrz’s marker colour feature. Assign a colour per calendar and a summary format with $domain, and your calendar becomes a colour-coded, labelled map of your commitments — without exposing any actual event data.
A Simple Feature That Professionals Love
Summary macros are one of those small features that users discover and immediately wonder how they lived without. They turn anonymous “Busy” blocks into meaningful, at-a-glance reference points — while keeping the privacy guarantee that makes Calendrz unique.
