Why Link Google Calendar to Notion?

Here’s everything you need to know about how to connect Google Calendar to Notion.
How to Embed Google Calendar in Notion in a Few Easy Steps
To embed Google Calendar in Notion, we must first apply some settings to the Google Calendar itself. So, go to your Google Calendar, choose the necessary calendar, and go to settings.
You will find Access permissions for events item in the settings on the left. Check the corresponding checkbox on the right, making it available to the public. Note that once you make your calendar available to the public, it will be visible in Google search. Make sure that you`re ok with it.
After you`re done with these settings, go down the page and find the section Integrate calendar and the embed code there.
Copy the code and go to the Notion page on which you want to add your Google calendar. On that page, type /embed and then paste your Google calendar code.
Then click Embed Link.
After that, you will see that Google Calendar has appeared on the page.
You may adjust it to the page size using special controls on the sides, and you will see that calendar modes will become available there, like Week, Months, Schedule, so you may choose whatever you want. You can check that your Google Calendar events will also appear there.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully added Google Calendar to Notion, letting you view and manage your schedule directly within your Notion workspace.
