In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to add a calendar to Notion 2024.

Step 1: Create a Google Calendar

Step 2: Get the Calendar’s Embed Code

Once you have created your Google Calendar, you will need to get the calendar’s embed code. To get the embed code, click on the three dots next to your calendar’s name and select “Settings and sharing.” In the “Integrate calendar” section, copy the embed code.

Question: Why do we need the embed code?

We need the embed code to add the Google Calendar to our Notion workspace. The embed code is a piece of HTML code that allows us to display the Google Calendar on a webpage.

Step 3: Create a New Page in Notion

Now that we have the embed code, we can add the Google Calendar to our Notion workspace. To do this, create a new page in Notion and give it a name. Once you have created the page, click on the “+” button to add a new block.

Question: What is a block in Notion?

A block in Notion is a piece of content that can be added to a page. Blocks can be a variety of content types, such as text, images, videos, and embeds.

Step 4: Add the Embed Block

In the “Add a block” menu, select “Embed” and paste the Google Calendar’s embed code into the block. Once you have pasted the embed code, click “Embed.”

Question: Can I customize the size and layout of the Google Calendar?

Yes, you can customize the size and layout of the Google Calendar. To do this, click on the three dots in the top-right corner of the embed block and select “Full page” or “Inline.” You can also adjust the width and height of the embed block.

Step 5: Save the Page

Once you have added the embed block, click “Save” to save the page. You should now see your Google Calendar displayed on the Notion page.

Question: Can I edit the Google Calendar from within Notion?

No, you cannot edit the Google Calendar from within Notion. To make changes to the calendar, you will need to go to Google Calendar.
