What is the most effective way for teams to use 2sync for syncing Google Calendar events into Notion?

To effectively sync your team's events, we recommend maintaining a single Notion master database containing all team events. Then, create separate views in Notion to provide a personalized context for each team member.

How to set up your Notion's master database

1. Add a "Calendar Name" property (Select type) to categorize events by team member.
2. Add a" Sync Status" property to track the synchronization state of each event.
3. Grant Calendar permissions: Each team member should delegate their calendar to you with read/write permission to allow synchronization.
4. Create an automation in 2sync:
   1. Set up a new automation and select all calendars (yours and your colleagues') that you want to sync.
   2. In the field mapping settings, map:
      1. Calendar Name (Select) – to distinguish events by calendar.
      2. Sync Status – to track the synchronization process.
5. Customize your sync settings: Configure the sync settings based on your team’s needs during the onboarding process.
6. Create Personalized Notion views: Once the sync is running, create filtered views in Notion for each team member by filtering based on the "Calendar Name" property.

Understanding "Sync Status"

• Synced: The event is successfully synced.
• Ignored: The event matches any filters you've set and is not synced.
• Removed: If an event is deleted from Google Calendar, it will be unsynced in Notion instead of being permanently deleted. For more details on how deleted events are handled, refer to this guide.
