How to sync Google Calendar with Notion
Setting up Google Calendar sync takes under five minutes:
- Connect your Google account to 2sync and authorize calendar access.
- Select your Notion database or let 2sync create one with the right properties.
- Map your fields to control how event titles, dates, attendees, and other data flows between apps.
- Enable the sync and events start flowing automatically.

Why sync Google Calendar with Notion?
If you use Google Calendar for scheduling and Notion for project management, you already know the pain of switching between apps. Meetings get created in your calendar but never make it into your Notion task board. Deadlines set in Notion don't show up where you plan your day. Important details slip through the cracks.
2sync connects Google Calendar and Notion with a true two-way sync. When you create an event in Google Calendar, it appears in your Notion database automatically. When you add a task with a date in Notion, it shows up on your calendar. Edit in either app and the change flows to the other. No manual copy-paste, no duplicated effort.
All plans include a 14-day free trial, so you can test the full sync before paying.
What syncs between Google Calendar and Notion?
2sync supports all the fields you actually use, not just titles and dates:
- Title and description: Event names and notes sync in both directions
- Start and end dates: Including all-day events and multi-day spans
- Location: Physical addresses and virtual meeting locations
- Attendees and organizer: Full attendee lists with email addresses
- Color and category: Event colors map to Notion select properties
- Recurring event status: Track whether an event is part of a series
- Visibility: Public or private event settings
- Free/busy status: Show availability information in Notion
- Conference links: Google Meet and Zoom URLs carry over
- Timezone: Events display correctly regardless of timezone differences
Each field can be configured independently as two-way, one-way to Notion, or one-way to Google Calendar. You control exactly how your data flows.
Sync multiple Google Calendars
Most people have more than one calendar: a work calendar, a personal calendar, maybe a shared team calendar. 2sync handles all of them.
Each Google Calendar maps to its own Notion database, so your work events stay separate from personal plans. Set up one automation per calendar, configure the field mapping for each, and everything stays organized. You can also use filters to sync only specific events. For example, sync only meetings with certain attendees or events with a particular color.
When you create a new event in Notion, the default asset setting determines which calendar it goes to. No guessing, no manual selection.
Built for teams
2sync's shared connections let a team work from one Notion workspace while everyone keeps their own Google Calendar. Here's how it works: one person sets up the connection and shares an invite link. Team members click the link to connect their personal Google Calendar. Each person's events sync into the shared Notion database, tagged with who they belong to.
This means managers can see the full team schedule in Notion without needing access to anyone's personal calendar. Team members keep using Google Calendar as usual. No one has to change how they work.
Google Calendar vs Notion Calendar
Notion Calendar (formerly Cron) can display your Google Calendar events inside Notion, but that's all it does. Events are not imported into a Notion database, so no data actually flows between your calendar and your workspace. You're viewing events through an overlay, not working with them. You can't edit an event from Notion and have that change sync back to Google Calendar, and you can't enrich events with Notion properties like project links, priority levels, or status fields.
2sync works differently. It imports your Google Calendar events directly into a Notion database as real database items. From there you can edit them, filter them, add properties, and link attendees to a contacts database using relations. Every change you make syncs back to Google Calendar automatically, a true two-way connection that runs in real time.
If you just want to glance at your schedule from Notion, Notion Calendar is enough. If you want your calendar events inside a Notion database where you can actually work with them, you need 2sync.
