Use Notion’s API to Show Tasks in Google Calendar

The day has finally arrived! For Notion users, the release of their API (application programming interface) has been an eagerly awaited moment.

We won’t get too much into the weeds on API’s, but they essentially allow for different apps to speak to each other, send/receive information, keep multiple apps connected. API’s can be great resources that save time by avoiding duplicating information and decreasing manual operations.

Notion users have been pining for the API for a while. Notion is incredibly powerful, but in cases where individuals or teams are using different platforms, it hasn’t been possible (or easy) to share information between apps.

Automation Apps

In this example, we’re going to connect Notion and Google Calendar using Automate.io, a powerful automation tool that can connect many well-known apps. One thing to note: automation tools like Automate and Zapier have caps on the number of bots you can create, so plan to use them intentionally, unless you’re willing to pay for unlimited use.

Whether you’re using work tools like Google Calendar for scheduling, Todoist for task management, or Typeform for creating forms or surveys, the API brings exciting possibilities for receiving, sending, and sharing, information across different tools
