Can You Embed a Google Calendar in Notion?
Although Notion allows you to integrate Google Calendar into your workplace, you cannot add new events from it. You can simply embed it in Notion and view the upcoming events.
Notion does offer direct integration with Google Calendar just yet. Though, the recently released Notion API makes it possible to create a connection between Notion and Google Calendar. You can use tools such as Zapier.
How To Embed Google Calendar in Notion
There are two ways to embed Google Calendar in Notion. The first method is the direct method and the second is using a Notion widget service called Indify.
The first method will make your Google Calendar public and anyone can view it. The second method will allow you to sync Google Calendar with Notion privately.
1. Embed Google Calendar with Notion Publicly
You can easily embed Google Calendar into Notion using the embed block, just like you would do for any other service. I will explain to you in a step-by-step process on how to embed Google Calendar in Notion. Follow the steps below:
- Go to Google Calendar and under My Calendars, click on the three dots next to the calendar you wish to embed.
- This will open up the options popup. Click on Settings and sharing.
- On the new page, scroll down and check the box that says ‘Make Available to Public’ Do note that making the calendar public will make it available for everyone to see it. If you agree with it, click Ok on the warning popup.
- Scroll down to the Integrate Calendar section and copy the public URL to the calendar.
- Go to your Notion workspace and add a new embed block. Paste the Google Calendar link you just copied and hit Enter.
That’s it: You should now see events from your Google Calendar appearing to show in Notion.
