How to Embed Google Calendar in Notion with ClickUp in Mind

Managing your schedule across multiple tools can get messy fast, which is why many teams use ClickUp alongside Notion and Google Calendar to keep everything organized. If you live in Notion for documentation but still rely on Google Calendar for events, embedding your calendar directly into a Notion page creates a single, easy-to-scan workspace.

This guide walks you through how to embed Google Calendar in Notion step by step, based strictly on the methods explained in the original tutorial. You will also see where a dedicated work management platform like ClickUp naturally fits into this workflow for handling tasks, timelines, and collaboration around your calendar events.

Why Connect Google Calendar, Notion, and ClickUp Workflows

Notion is excellent for notes, documentation, and lightweight databases. Google Calendar is still the default choice for meetings, deadlines, and reminders. When you embed your calendar in Notion, you create a hub where events and project context live together.

Adding a work management layer like ClickUp on top of this combination lets you:

• Turn meetings into actionable tasks and checklists
• Align event dates with project timelines and sprints
• Share a single source of truth for your entire team
• Keep docs, tasks, and goals connected to the same time-bound schedule

The first step in that bigger productivity stack is learning how to place your Google Calendar directly inside Notion.

Prerequisites Before You Start

Before embedding your Google Calendar into Notion, make sure you have the following in place:

• An active Google account with at least one calendar set up
• Access to Notion on web or desktop
• Permission to edit the Notion page where you want to embed the calendar
• Sharing enabled for the Google Calendar you plan to embed

Once these items are ready, you can follow the steps below. You can later connect these calendars and project details into a dedicated platform like ClickUp for richer planning and reporting.

Step 1: Make Your Google Calendar Public or Shareable

Notion embeds work best when your Google Calendar is shareable through a public URL or an embed link. Follow these steps to adjust your calendar settings:

1. Open Google Calendar in a browser and sign in.

2. On the left sidebar, hover over the calendar you want to embed and click the three-dot menu.

3. Select Settings and sharing.

4. Scroll down to the Access permissions for events section.

5. Check the option to make the calendar available to the public or available to anyone with the link, depending on your organization’s privacy rules.

This setting allows Notion to display your calendar properly. If you manage sensitive client work or complex projects, you can keep another private calendar for internal notes or sync those details into a secure workspace in ClickUp.

Step 2: Copy the Google Calendar Embed Code or URL

Google Calendar gives you different ways to share your calendar, but the embed option is usually the most reliable for Notion.

1. In the same Settings and sharing screen, scroll to the Integrate calendar section.

2. Locate the Public URL to this calendar and the Embed code.

3. Copy either:

   • The public URL (simpler option), or
   • The full HTML iframe embed code for more customization (size, colors, etc.).

Using the URL is usually enough for a clean Notion embed. If you later want to mirror your calendar availability with task timelines in a tool like ClickUp, you can still keep this same link active inside your documentation pages.

Step 3: Embed Google Calendar into Your Notion Page

With the shareable link or embed code ready, you can now add the calendar to any Notion page.

1. Open Notion and navigate to the page where you want to display the calendar.

2. Click anywhere on the page and type /embed to bring up the embed block.

3. Select Embed from the block options.

4. Paste your Google Calendar public URL or iframe embed code into the field.

5. Click Embed link to confirm.

Notion will load your Google Calendar view directly within the page. You can drag the borders of the block to resize it and create a comfortable layout for your team. This layout can mirror how you organize projects in ClickUp, giving users a familiar visual structure across tools.

Step 4: Customize the Notion Page Around Your Calendar

Once the calendar is visible in Notion, you can design the surrounding page to support your planning process.

Consider adding sections such as:

• Meeting notes under the calendar for each event
• Action items that you later convert into tasks in your project tool
• Documentation related to recurring calendar events
• Links to roadmaps or sprints managed in a workspace like ClickUp

This structure keeps all context attached to the same calendar view so your team can scan dates, notes, and follow-ups from a single Notion page.

Step 5: Troubleshooting Common Embed Issues

If the Google Calendar embed does not appear correctly in Notion, review the following common issues:

Check Calendar Sharing Settings Before Using ClickUp

If you see a blank area or a permissions error, your calendar might still be private.

• Revisit Settings and sharing in Google Calendar.
• Confirm that either public access or link sharing is enabled.
• Refresh your Notion page after adjusting the settings.

Once the calendar is visible, you can safely reference it across other tools, including any external project platforms or internal solutions such as ClickUp.

Verify the Embed Link Format

Notion may fail to display the calendar if the URL or iframe code is incomplete.

• Ensure the entire URL is copied without truncation.
• If using the iframe embed code, include the full snippet from <iframe ...> to </iframe>.
• Try switching between URL embed and iframe embed to see which works better for your workspace.

Adjust View and Size for Better Usability

If the calendar looks cramped or difficult to navigate:

• Drag the right and bottom edges of the embed block in Notion to increase its size.
• Switch between Week, Month, and Agenda view in the calendar controls.
• Use a layout that matches how you manage schedules in dedicated tools like ClickUp.

How ClickUp Complements Your Notion and Calendar Setup

Embedding Google Calendar in Notion improves visibility, but many teams still need more robust task, goal, and resource management features. This is where a platform such as ClickUp comes into play.

While Notion holds your docs and embedded calendars, a work management tool can help you:

• Convert meeting outcomes into prioritized tasks
• Plan sprints based on upcoming calendar events
• Track due dates, dependencies, and assignees for each deliverable
• Visualize schedules across multiple projects and teams

Used together, Notion can remain your flexible documentation layer, Google Calendar stays your time grid, and a work management platform like ClickUp can drive actual execution and reporting behind those dates.
