You already built the perfect view in Notion. The filters are dialed in, the right date property is set, only the events you care about show up. Now you can turn that exact view into a calendar feed in one click — no rebuilding anything.
What's new
When you create a calendar link, the Notion Database dropdown now lists your supported views right alongside your databases. Pick a view, and we read its configuration and prefill the form for you:
- Date field — the date property the view is built on
- Filter — the view's filter, copied across so your feed shows the same events
- Name — the view's name becomes your calendar link title
- Visible properties — the properties the view shows become your event description fields
Everything lands in the form pre-filled. You can tweak any of it before saving — nothing is locked in.
Why this beats rebuilding by hand
Before, creating a focused feed meant recreating your view's filter from scratch in our filter builder. If your view said "Status is Active AND Assigned to me," you rebuilt that condition by condition. Easy to get subtly wrong, and tedious if you had several views.
Now you point at the view you already trust and we carry the setup over. The imported settings are a starting point. Later edits to the view do not automatically change the saved Calendar Link.
Importing a view carries its name into the Calendar Link title, so you can distinguish several configurations from the same database.
How to use it
- Go to Create calendar link in your dashboard.
- Open the Notion Database dropdown. You'll see a Views group at the top and your Databases below.
- Pick a supported view and select a date property if one cannot be inferred.
- The form fills in with the view's date field, filter, name, and visible properties.
- Adjust anything you like, then save. Subscribe to the feed URL in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, or any app that reads iCal.
That's it. From a Notion view to a live calendar feed in well under a minute.
A few things worth knowing
- Supported view types include calendar, timeline, table, board and list. A date field must be resolved or selected before saving. View availability also depends on access and the Notion API response.
- Configurable Calendar Links require Premium. The free plan publishes up to 30 events from one selected calendar. Review imported fields and filters before saving a Premium link.
- It's a one-way feed, as always. Your calendar updates automatically from Notion. Changes you make later in your calendar app don't write back to Notion, and changes you make to the Notion view later don't retro-edit a feed you already created — the import is a starting point, not a live binding.
