Generate a Shareable Google Calendar Link

To start how to embed Google Calendar in Notion, first get a public link to your calendar.

1. Open Google Calendar
   • Go to calendar.google.com.
   • Make sure you’re signed in to the account you want to embed.
2. Access Calendar Settings
   • In the left sidebar, hover over your calendar name.
   • Click the three dots ⋯ and select Settings and sharing.
3. Make Your Calendar Public
   • Under Access permissions, check Make available to public (this allows Notion to display it).
   • Note: Public calendars show event titles to anyone with the link.
4. Copy the Embed Link
   • Scroll to Integrate calendar.
   • Copy the Public URL to this calendar (it starts with https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?...).

Pro Tip: Use a secondary calendar for sensitive events and only share a public-facing calendar in Notion.

Embed Using Notion’s “Embed” Block

Now you know the URL—let’s see how to embed Google Calendar in Notion.

1. Open Your Notion Page
   • Navigate to the page where you want the calendar.

1. Insert an Embed Block
   • Type /embed and select Embed.
   • Paste your copied Google Calendar URL into the input field.
2. Adjust Block Size
   • Click and drag the bottom-right corner of the embed block to resize.
   • Aim for at least 600 px height to see a full month view.
3. Publish or View
   • Click Embed link.
   • Your live Google Calendar now appears inside Notion.

Customize Your Embedded Calendar

Once you know how to embed Google Calendar in Notion, you can tweak its look and feel.

Change Visible Calendars

• In the embed URL, adjust the src= parameter to include or exclude calendars.
• Example: src=work%40domain.com&src=personal%40domain.com

Modify Default View

• Add &mode=AGENDA or &mode=WEEK to the URL for different views.
• Full URL example: perlCopyEdithttps://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed? src=youremail%40domain.com &mode=WEEK &showTitle=0 &showNav=1

Hide Headers & Navigation

• Use &showTitle=0 and &showNav=0 to remove extra UI.
• This makes the calendar blend seamlessly with your Notion theme.

Callout: Embedding multiple views (month, week, agenda) on different pages helps you switch contexts quickly.

Advanced: Two-Way Sync with Notion

For teams requiring deeper integration, consider these advanced methods.

1. Use Third-Party Tools
   • Tools like Cronofy or [Automate.io] allow two-way sync between Google Calendar and a Notion database.
   • Set up triggers: “When event is created in Google Calendar, create a Notion page.”
2. Notion API + Zapier
   • Create a Zap:
     • Trigger: New Google Calendar event.
     • Action: Create database item in Notion.
   • This doesn’t embed visually, but keeps your Notion database up to date.
3. Embed Database as Calendar
   • Once events are in a Notion database, switch the view to Calendar.
   • This gives you a native Notion calendar with custom properties.

Example: The marketing team at Acme Co uses Zapier to sync campaign events from Google Calendar into Notion, then displays them in a Notion calendar view for easy tracking.

Tips for Better Calendar Integration

• Use Descriptive Titles: Clear event names help when viewing in a small embed.
• Color-Code Events: Google Calendar colors carry over, making it easy to scan.
• Link Back to Notion Tasks: In event descriptions, add Notion page URLs to link tasks and meetings.
• Restrict Embed Size on Mobile: Test on mobile; consider a separate “Agenda” view for narrow screens.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Q1: My calendar shows “Access denied.” What do I do?

• Ensure Make available to public is checked in Google Calendar settings.

Q2: Why isn’t my updated event showing?

• Refresh your Notion page or delete and re-embed the link to force an update.

Q3: Can I embed multiple calendars in one block?

• Yes—append multiple src= parameters in your URL separated by &src= for each calendar.
