How to Embed a Google Calendar in Notion (2 Methods)
Follow this quick guide to embed Google Calendar in Notion. We’ll show you two simple methods to sync your schedule, manage events, and organize your day without leaving your workspace.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
If you use Notion to organize your work and Google Calendar to manage your schedule, knowing how to embed Google Calendar in Notion can save time and reduce context switching.
Embedding Google Calendar in Notion lets you see your events, deadlines, and meetings without leaving your workspace.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn two methods to set it up: using Notion’s built-in embed feature or by using the Notion Calendar app.
Method 1: Embed a Google Calendar in Notion Using the URL
You can display your Google Calendar directly inside a Notion page in just a few minutes, no extra apps or complex integrations required. Simply make your Google Calendar shareable to generate a unique public link, then paste that link into Notion. Here’s the exact process.
Step #1: Make Your Google Calendar Accessible
To embed your Google Calendar in Notion, it must be public.
This allows Notion to read and display the calendar. While sharing your calendar may compromise privacy, only those with the URL can access it.
Open your Google Calendar, click the Gear icon, and select Settings.
Under settings, chose calendar settings, then click the check box to Make available to public.
Once done, your calendar is now accessible to Notion.
Step #2: Get the Embed Code
Scroll down to the Integrate Calendar section in the Google Calendar settings. Copy the embed code for use in the next step.
Step #3: Embed Google Calendar in Notion
In Notion, navigate to the page where you want to add the calendar. Type "/embed" to create an Embed block and paste the embed code from Google Calendar into the text box.
Click Embed Link and paste the copied embed code.
Your Google Calendar is now embedded in Notion!
Step #4: Resize and Adjust the Calendar
After embedding, you can move or resize the calendar to fit your Notion page layout. Hover over the edges and drag to resize.
Step #5: Using the Embedded Google Calendar in Notion
Once embedded, you can easily switch between three calendar views: Week, Month, and Agenda. Select your preferred view from the top-right corner of the calendar. Clicking on a calendar event will show a pop-up with meeting details, including the joining link.
Embedding your Google Calendar in Notion is especially useful if you manage a Notion-based website, such as announcing key dates for upcoming webinars and product updates.
Limitations of Embedding Google Calendar in Notion
While embedding Google Calendar in Notion is useful, there are a few drawbacks:
- Static Embed: The calendar is read-only. You can view events but cannot create or edit them directly within Notion. For full integration (creating events both in Notion and Google Calendar), syncing the two tools is required.
- Public Calendar Requirement: Notion only works with a public Google Calendar, meaning you cannot embed a private calendar.
Method 2: Using Notion Calendar
Notion offers a dedicated app, Notion Calendar, which allows seamless integration of multiple calendars, including Google Calendar, into your Notion workspace. This method helps you manage all your events from a single platform, accessible across devices such as PC, Mac, and iPhone.
Step #1: Download Notion Calendar
To get started, download Notion Calendar from the App Store or visit the Notion Calendar website. Once on the site, click Get Notion Calendar Free to open your Notion workspace, where a popup will appear.
Click Continue with Google to proceed.
You can also download the app through the Downloads tab on the website, selecting the platform of your choice.
Step #2: Sign in with Google
After selecting Continue with Google, you'll be prompted to choose your Google account. If you have multiple Google calendars, don't worry, you can add them all later.
Next, you’ll be asked to sign in to Notion with Google. Click Continue and grant permission for Notion to access your Google Calendar.
Step #3: Edit Events in Notion Calendar
Once connected, you’ll see your events in Notion Calendar.
You can:
- Change event details.
- Add participants and meeting links.
- Adjust dates and times.
- Link events to Notion pages.
New events you create will also show up in your Google Calendar automatically
Limitations of Using Notion Calendar
While Notion Calendar offers excellent 2-way sync with Google Calendar, it has a key limitation: it only supports integration with Google Calendar. For connecting other tools like Jira, Trello, or Google Sheets, you’ll need alternative tools.
Now You Know How to Embed a Google Calendar in Notion
Embedding Google Calendar in Notion transforms how you manage your time by putting your schedule right where you work.
The URL embed method takes minutes to set up and gives you a live view of your calendar, while Notion Calendar offers true two-way sync for creating and editing events directly from your workspace.
Both methods eliminate the need to switch between apps, making your daily planning faster and more accurate. Once you sync Google Calendar with Notion, your meetings and tasks work together seamlessly, turning your workspace into a complete productivity hub where nothing gets missed.
