2sync vs Notion Calendar: your calendar needs more than a view
Notion Calendar shows Google Calendar and iCloud events next to your Notion databases, and since Notion 3.1 you can edit Notion database items from the calendar view. What it still cannot do is turn external calendar events into Notion database rows, sync them back, or connect to Outlook. 2sync handles all of that, plus tasks, contacts, and email.

Why choose 2sync over Notion Calendar?
Actual data sync, not just a view
Notion Calendar puts calendars and databases in one interface, but external events stay in your calendar. 2sync writes every Google Calendar or Outlook event into a Notion database row with title, date, attendees, location, and conference link.
Populate databases automatically
Every calendar event becomes a Notion database item. Build meeting logs, time-tracking tables, and project timelines without manual entry, then query and filter them like any other database.
Database items become calendar events
Create a task or page in Notion with a due date, and it appears on Google Calendar or Outlook. Notion Calendar cannot push Notion data out to your calendar. 2sync does it automatically.
Full property control
Map calendar fields to any Notion property: attendees to a people or relation field, location to text, descriptions to rich text. Set each field as two-way, one-way to Notion, or one-way to the calendar.
Eight services, not just calendars
2sync syncs Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Todoist, Google Tasks, Google Contacts, Outlook Contacts, Gmail, and Outlook Mail. Notion Calendar covers Google Calendar and iCloud only.
