Getting Started with Notion Calendar
After acquiring Cron in Mid-2022, Notion kicked off the year with a major update.
Notion Calendar — the next iteration of the standalone calendar app — makes a few key changes that got the Notion Ambassador community incredibly excited about what’s to come. On its surface, it may not look too different from any other calendar app, but for Notion users, some huge features elevate the functionality of both your Notion workspace and calendar.
Doesn’t Notion Already Have a Calendar View for Databases?
It may be slightly confusing for Notion to release a standalone app, versus making improvements to the in-Notion calendar view of databases. But after using Notion Calendar for a few weeks, it’s clear certain calendar-only features work best in a separate app, versus trying to fit everything into the Notion workspace.
The requirement of a Google account makes it likely a large majority of current Notion users are using Google accounts to manage their calendars, so Notion Calendar allows users to bring their calendars with them (hopefully Outlook integration is coming soon), while surfacing information from Notion databases.
