Filter by Duration

What it does: Blocks any event that runs longer than 2 hours (120 minutes), keeping only short meetings in the synced calendar.

Use case: Avoid syncing all-day workshops, multi-hour training sessions, or conference blocks that would clutter a focused calendar view.

function gate(event: GateEvent): GateResult {
  if (event.durationMinutes > 120) {
    return { pass: false, reason: 'Event too long (over 2 hours)' };
  }
  return { pass: true };
}

How It Works​

The durationMinutes computed property gives the event length in minutes, calculated from start.dateTime and end.dateTime. Comparing against a threshold lets you skip events that exceed your desired meeting length. All-day events have a duration equal to the number of days multiplied by 1440 (minutes per day), so they are naturally caught by any reasonable threshold.

Customization​

Block events shorter than 30 minutes (skip quick check-ins):

function gate(event: GateEvent): GateResult {
  if (event.durationMinutes < 30) {
    return { pass: false, reason: 'Event too short (under 30 minutes)' };
  }
  return { pass: true };
}

Only sync 30-minute or 60-minute meetings:

function gate(event: GateEvent): GateResult {
  if (event.durationMinutes === 30 || event.durationMinutes === 60) {
    return { pass: true };
  }
  return {
    pass: false,
    reason: 'Event is not a standard 30 or 60 minute meeting',
  };
}

Skip all-day events but allow long multi-hour meetings:

function gate(event: GateEvent): GateResult {
  if (event.isAllDay) {
    return { pass: false, reason: 'All-day event excluded' };
  }
  if (event.durationMinutes > 180) {
    return { pass: false, reason: 'Event over 3 hours excluded' };
  }
  return { pass: true };
}
