Introduction

Notion Calendar has become an essential tool for users who want to manage their schedules directly within the Notion ecosystem. But many users wonder: can you embed Notion Calendar into Notion pages? The answer is yes, and this guide will show you exactly how to do it.

Whether you want to display your calendar on a project dashboard, create a personal command center, or share scheduling information with your team, embedding Notion Calendar creates a cohesive, unified workspace. Let's explore the best methods to achieve this integration.

Understanding Notion Calendar

Notion Calendar (formerly Cron) is a powerful scheduling app that integrates deeply with Notion databases. When you embed Notion Calendar into Notion, you're creating a bridge between your time-based events and your project management workflows.

Key Features of Notion Calendar

  • Deep Notion integration: Links directly to Notion databases

  • Multi-calendar support: Combine Google, Outlook, and Notion calendars

  • Smart scheduling: Find meeting times easily

  • Cross-platform: Works on Mac, Windows, iOS, and web
  • Why Embed Your Calendar in Notion?

  • Contextual scheduling: View appointments alongside project details

  • Team visibility: Share calendars without sharing full access

  • Workflow optimization: Reduce context switching between apps

  • Documentation: Keep a record of scheduled activities in your workspace
  • Method 1: Using Linked Database Views

    The most native way to embed Notion Calendar in Notion is through linked database views. This method works with any Notion database that has a date property.

    Step-by-Step Guide

    Step 1: Create or Identify Your Database

    You need a Notion database with date properties. This could be:

  • A task database with due dates

  • A project database with milestones

  • An events database with start/end times
  • Step 2: Add a Calendar View

  • Open your database

  • Click the "+" button next to your existing views

  • Select "Calendar"

  • Choose which date property to use for the calendar layout
  • Step 3: Create a Linked View

  • Navigate to the page where you want the calendar

  • Type /linked and select "Linked view of database"

  • Search for and select your database

  • Choose the Calendar view
  • Step 4: Customize the Linked View

  • Filter events to show only relevant items

  • Hide or show specific properties

  • Adjust the calendar layout
  • Pro Tips for Linked Views

  • Use filters wisely: Show only current month's events or specific categories

  • Add multiple linked views: Display different filtered calendars side by side

  • Combine with tables: Show a table view below the calendar for detailed event info
  • Method 2: Using Synced Blocks

    Synced blocks allow you to display the same content across multiple pages. This is perfect for calendars you want to appear in several locations.

    Creating a Synced Calendar Block

    Step 1: Build Your Master Calendar

    Create your primary calendar view in a dedicated page. This will be your source of truth.

    Step 2: Convert to Synced Block

  • Select the calendar view

  • Click the six-dot handle on the left

  • Choose "Turn into synced block"

  • Copy the synced block
  • Step 3: Paste in Other Pages

  • Navigate to your destination page

  • Paste the synced block

  • The calendar will appear and stay synchronized
  • Benefits of Synced Blocks

  • Single source of truth: Update once, changes appear everywhere

  • Consistency: Same calendar view across all pages

  • Easy maintenance: No need to update multiple locations
  • Method 3: Using Notion Embed
