Introduction
If you’re a Notion user, you know how powerful the app is for productivity and organization. However, one feature that Notion lacks is a built-in calendar. Fortunately, you can easily add your Google Calendar to Notion to keep all your events and tasks in one place. In this article, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to do just that.
Step 1: Get your Google Calendar URL
The first thing you need to do is get the URL for your Google Calendar. To do this, open your Google Calendar in a web browser and click the three dots next to the calendar you want to add to Notion. Then, click “Settings and sharing.”
Next, scroll down to the “Integrate calendar” section and copy the “Public address in iCal format” URL. This is the URL you’ll use to add your Google Calendar to Notion.
Step 2: Add a new integration in Notion
Now that you have your Google Calendar URL, open Notion and select the page where you want to add your calendar. Click the “Add a block” button and select “Embeds.”
In the “Embed link” field, paste the Google Calendar URL you copied earlier. Click “Embed” and Notion will generate a preview of your calendar.
Step 3: Customize your calendar view
By default, Notion will display your Google Calendar in a month view. However, you can customize the view by adding some parameters to the Google Calendar URL you pasted in Notion.
For example, if you want to display your calendar in a week view, add “?mode=WEEK” to the end of the URL. If you want to show events for a specific date range, add “?start=YYYY-MM-DD&end=YYYY-MM-DD” to the end of the URL, replacing the “YYYY-MM-DD” with the start and end dates you want.
