One-Way vs Two-Way Notion Calendar Sync
Simpler sync, fewer problems
One-way sync keeps Notion as your single source of truth and works with every calendar app. Here's why that matters.
Why Notion to Calendar
The features that make the difference
Works with any calendar app
One-way sync via iCal works with Apple Calendar, Outlook, Google Calendar, and any standards-compliant app. Two-way requires specific integrations.
No sync conflicts
Two-way sync can create conflicts when the same event is edited in both places. One-way keeps it simple.
Notion stays source of truth
All your data lives in Notion. Calendar is a view with notifications. No data duplication or sync issues.
Share with anyone
Generate a calendar link anyone can subscribe to. Two-way sync requires everyone to set up their own connection.

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need two-way sync?
Ask yourself: Do you create events in your calendar app that need to appear in Notion? Do you reschedule events in your calendar and need Notion to update? If not, one-way sync is all you need.
What if I accidentally edit an event in my calendar?
With one-way sync, calendar edits don't affect Notion. The next sync will restore the event to match Notion. Your Notion data is always the source of truth.
Is two-way sync more reliable?
Actually, one-way sync is often more reliable because there's no conflict resolution needed. Two-way sync has to handle cases where the same event is edited in both places.
Why does one-way sync work with more calendar apps?
One-way sync uses iCal, a universal standard every calendar app supports. Two-way sync requires direct API integration with each specific calendar app.
