Introduction

If you're an Apple ecosystem user wondering how to embed Apple Calendar in Notion, you've probably discovered it's not as straightforward as embedding Google Calendar. Apple Calendar (iCloud Calendar) doesn't offer the same easy embedding options, but don't worry-there are several proven workarounds.

This guide covers three methods to get your Apple Calendar visible in Notion, from simple iCloud sharing to advanced solutions with Notion Embed.

The Challenge with Apple Calendar

Unlike Google Calendar, Apple Calendar doesn't provide:

  • Direct embed codes

  • Public URL access by default

  • iFrame-compatible views

    • Apple's walled garden approach means we need creative solutions. But with the right method, you can absolutely display your iCloud calendar in Notion.

    Method 1: iCloud Public Sharing

    The simplest approach involves making your Apple Calendar publicly accessible via iCloud.

    Step-by-Step Guide

    On Mac:

  • Open the Calendar app

  • Right-click on the calendar you want to share

  • Select "Share Calendar..."

  • Check "Public Calendar"

  • Click "Done"

  • Right-click again and choose "Copy URL"

    • On iOS:

  • Open Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Calendars

  • Tap the calendar you want to share

  • Enable "Public Calendar"

  • Tap "Share Link" to copy the URL

    • On iCloud.com:

  • Go to icloud.com/calendar

  • Click the broadcast icon next to your calendar

  • Check "Public Calendar"

  • Copy the URL

    • Using the iCloud URL in Notion

    The iCloud URL looks like this:
    webcal://p##-caldav.icloud.com/published/...

    Unfortunately, you can't directly embed this in Notion's embed block. You need to convert it first.

    Converting for Notion Embed

  • Replace webcal:// with https://

  • Use a calendar visualization service, or

  • Use Notion Embed to handle the conversion automatically

    • Method 2: Sync to Google Calendar

    A reliable workaround is syncing your Apple Calendar to Google Calendar, then embedding Google Calendar in Notion.

    Step 1: Export from Apple Calendar

    On Mac:

  • Open Calendar app

  • File → Export → Export...

  • Save the .ics file

    • Alternative: Subscribe in Google

    Instead of exporting, use the public calendar URL:

  • Get your public iCloud calendar URL (from Method 1)

  • Convert webcal:// to https://

  • In Google Calendar, click "+ Other calendars"

  • Choose "From URL"

  • Paste your converted iCloud URL

  • Click "Add calendar"

    • Step 2: Embed Google Calendar in Notion

    Once synced to Google:

  • Make the imported calendar public in Google Calendar settings

  • Copy the public URL

  • In Notion, type /embed

  • Paste the Google Calendar URL

  • Click "Embed link"

    • Pros and Cons

    Pros:

  • Free solution

  • Uses Notion's native embed

  • Reliable once set up

    • Cons:

  • Requires maintaining two calendar systems

  • Sync delays (usually 12-24 hours)

  • Changes must be made in Apple Calendar first

    • Method 3: Using Notion Embed

    For the cleanest solution, Notion Embed handles Apple Calendar integration professionally.
