Managing automations

Automations define how tasks from Notion are synced to Google Calendar. You can configure multiple automations to control which tasks are synchronized and where they appear.

Creating an automation​

To set up an automation, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Automations section.
  2. Click "Add new automation".
  3. Select a Notion database from the dropdown list.
  4. Choose a date field from the selected Notion database that will be used for scheduling events.
  5. Select a Google Calendar where the tasks will be added.
  6. (Optional, Premium feature) Add filters to limit which tasks sync.
  7. Click "Save automations" to apply your changes.

Filtering tasks (Premium feature)​

Premium users can set filters to control which tasks get synced based on field values.

  • Click "Add filter".
  • Select a Notion field to filter by.
  • Choose a comparison operator: "is equal to" or "is not equal to".
  • Enter values in a comma-separated format (e.g., In Progress, Review).
  • Multiple filters can be applied for more refined sync behavior.

Editing or removing an automation​

  • To edit an automation, navigate to Automations, modify the necessary fields, and click "Save automations".
  • To remove an automation, click the "Remove automation" button underneath the automation you want to delete.

Limitations​

  • Free users: Can create only one automation, with no filtering.
  • Premium users: Can create multiple automations and apply filters.

Best practices for automations​

  • Use clear naming conventions for your Notion databases to avoid confusion.
  • Ensure that your date field is correctly set up in Notion to prevent sync issues.
  • Premium users should apply filters carefully to avoid missing important tasks.
