How I Synced Google Calendar with Notion using n8n

As someone juggling multiple meetings and project tasks, I wanted a way to bring all my Google Calendar events into Notion automatically. I use Notion as my central dashboard, so manually copying over meetings didn’t make sense.

Instead of relying on third-party Notion integrations, I turned to n8n to build a no-cost, self-hosted automation.

🧠 The Problem

I needed a way to:

• Read upcoming events from Google Calendar
• Filter only relevant ones (like client calls)
• Create or update pages inside Notion with meeting info

⚙️ How I Solved It

Here’s what the workflow looks like:

1. Trigger: A scheduled Cron node runs every morning at 6:00 AM.
2. Google Calendar Node: Pulls events for the next 24 hours using the Google Calendar API.
3. IF Filter Node: Filters only events with a keyword or specific calendar.
4. Notion Node: Creates or updates a page inside a Notion database with the event name, time, and link.

It took me just 25 minutes to build, and now I always have a visual schedule in Notion without needing to switch tabs.

🔁 Why This Workflow Works

• Saves time every day
• Keeps my Notion dashboard always in sync
• Makes meeting prep easy
