Airtable to Calendar vs Unito

Why choose the feed layer

No sync conflicts
Calendar edits never compete with Airtable edits because the feed has one source of truth.
Broader calendar-client reach
The output is an iCal standard rather than a direct connection limited to one calendar provider.
Small operational surface
There are no paired records, direction rules or historical synchronization windows to manage.

Questions before choosing
Does Unito support two-way Airtable and Google Calendar sync?
Yes. Unito documents flows in both directions with rules, mappings and live synchronization.
Why deliberately use one-way sync?
One-way publishing avoids conflict resolution, preserves Airtable as the source of truth and works with calendar clients that support iCal subscriptions.
Can calendar users edit Airtable to Calendar events?
They may be able to alter a local display, but those changes do not write to Airtable and can be replaced when the subscription refreshes.
