See all Premium features
- Several Notion workspaces, one account
- Connect your personal, work or client workspaces and choose which databases to use. Each workspace keeps its own permissions.
- Direct calendar connections
- Use Google and Outlook in the same account. With two-way mode enabled, supported edits to linked, non-recurring events update Notion. Google uses a dedicated calendar; Outlook uses a selected writable calendar. These direct connections remain labeled beta.
- Feeds for each project
- Create multiple Calendar Links from a database. Each can have an iCal feed, one Google destination, and one Outlook destination. Apply filters or start from a supported Notion view.
- The event details you need
- Choose titles and descriptions from Notion properties. Include locations, links and attachments in compatible iCal apps. Direct connections support their own set of mapped fields.
- More dates in your calendar
- Premium feeds currently fetch roughly 300 events through bounded pagination, rather than an unlimited database export. Formula date fields can be published but cannot receive calendar date edits.
- Share a schedule by URL
- Share an iCal feed with people who do not use Notion. Anyone with the private URL can read that feed, so share it only with the intended recipients.
- Shorter feed caching
- Premium keeps the source feed fresh more often. Calendar apps still choose when to fetch iCal subscriptions. Direct Google and Outlook connections do not wait for that polling cycle; processing is asynchronous.
