Jump to FAQs

You can integrate Notion Calendar with Notion to:

  • Add Notion pages to your events.

  • Connect AI Meeting Notes to your events.

  • View and manage Notion databases in your calendar, as long as the databases have a date property.

To connect your Notion workspaces to Notion Calendar:

  1. Open Notion Calendar on desktop or web.

  2. Go to SettingsNotion.

  3. Next to Add Notion workspace, select Connect.

  4. Give Notion Calendar access to Notion by selecting Allow access. If the integration is successful, you’ll see it appear in your settings.

Note:

  • If you have multiple workspaces, you need to connect them individually to Notion Calendar, even if those workspaces are associated with the same email address.

  • A workspace admin can’t turn on Notion Calendar for everyone in their Notion workspace. Notion Calendar and Notion must be connected at the user level.

  • Don’t worry — connecting Notion Calendar and Notion doesn’t mean your company will have access to your calendars.

When you create an event in Notion Calendar, you’ll see an AI Meeting Notes and Docs field in the event. Click into this field to add meeting notes or another Notion page to the event details. From here, you can:

  • Create an AI Meeting Notes page for the event. You can adjust your AI Meeting Notes settings by clicking your profile icon → SettingsAI Meeting Notes. From here you can:

    • Adjust the location for meeting notes.

    • Select to auto-share to share meeting notes with internal participants.

    • Select to auto-add meeting notes to new events.

  • Make a new Notion page by selecting Add blank Notion page. Give your page a title and indicate where you want that page to live, and in which Notion workspace. Select Create when you’re done.

  • Choose an existing Notion page by searching for it, or selecting an option from Recent Notion pages. You can also switch between Notion workspaces if you have more than one connected to Notion Calendar.

  • Once you attach a Notion page to an event, you’ll be able to access it quickly and easily before a meeting, both from inside Notion Calendar and your menu bar.

Note: To be connected to Notion Calendar, a Notion database must have a date property.

You might use Notion databases to track important deadlines or events. You can bring these events directly into Notion Calendar so you can see all of these dates in one place!

Who can connect a Notion database to Notion Calendar?

To connect a Notion database to Notion Calendar, you must have at least Can view access to the database.

To edit or add pages in a database via Notion Calendar, you must have at least Can edit content access to the database. Otherwise, you’ll only be able to view database pages in your calendar.

Add a Notion database to Notion Calendar

To add a Notion database to Notion Calendar:

  1. At the bottom of the left sidebar of Notion Calendar, find the Notion workspace that contains the database you want to see in your calendar.

  2. Hover over the calendar’s name, then select •••Add Notion database. Search for and select the database you want to add to your calendar.

  3. Dates from your database will appear in your calendar. If your database has multiple date properties, you’ll need to select a primary property that will be used to populate your calendar.

Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut O, or enter cmd + K and type “show Notion database”.

You can also add a Notion database to Notion Calendar from inside Notion. Open your database in Notion, click on the name of your database view, and select Open in Notion Calendar.

Note:

  • You can only add a database while using Notion Calendar for desktop or web.

  • At the moment, you can only view your Notion database in Notion Calendar, not in Google or iCloud calendar.

  • You can add up to 10 databases to Notion Calendar.

  • While you can connect an existing Notion database to Notion Calendar, you can’t turn your Notion Calendar into a Notion database at this time.

  • If you’re not able to see a specific database page in Notion Calendar even though you have access to view the database, it’s possible that the database page has specific permissions that are different from the permissions for the rest of the database.

Edit a Notion database page in Notion Calendar

Need to make adjustments to Notion database items from within Notion Calendar? To do so:

  1. Select a database item.

  2. In the right context panel, change the title, date, and time of your event. If your database has a status property, you can update the status from inside Notion Calendar. You can even move the item to another calendar.

Any changes you make will be reflected in the original database in Notion.

Note:

  • If the dates for a database you connect to Notion Calendar are generated using the Formula, Created time, or Last edited time properties, those dates will be read-only in Notion Calendar. In other words, you can’t edit those dates from inside your calendar.

  • If you duplicate a Notion database item in Notion Calendar, a new page will be created in your Notion database with the same title and date, but it won’t duplicate any other content inside the original page.

  • If you move a database item from one workspace to another inside of Notion Calendar, a new page will be created in the destination workspace with the same title and date. The original page will be archived in the source Notion workspace and can be restored.

Add a page to a Notion database in Notion Calendar

To create a new database entry from inside Notion Calendar:

  1. Select an open time slot in your calendar.

  2. In the right context panel, enter the details for your database entry.

  3. Open the dropdown menu and select your Notion database.

If you want all new events you create in Notion Calendar to be added to your Notion database, change your default calendar to the database. To do this, go to SettingsCalendarsDefault calendar and pick the database you want to set as your default. On desktop, you can also set a default calendar by clicking the square next to the database’s name in the left sidebar.

Your calendar events can be viewed and joined directly from inside Notion. In Notion, go to Home in your sidebar to view your Upcoming events widget. If you haven’t already used Notion Calendar with Notion, you’re logged out of Notion Calendar, or you’re using the widget in a new or different Notion workspace, you can select Connect Notion Calendar in the widget to set up your calendar.

Note: If you’re using Notion for desktop, you may be prompted to sign into your Notion account on the web to set up the Upcoming events widget.

This widget can be customized to show the calendars and events that you want. You can connect multiple Notion Calendar accounts to the Upcoming events widget in Home. If you’re in multiple Notion workspaces, don’t worry — you can adjust your Upcoming events widget differently for each! Learn more in this article.
