How to Integrate Todoist with Google Calendar

You don’t need to pay for a Todoist subscription to integrate it with Google Calendar. The option is also available for free account users. Todoist can create a new calendar but it can also sync with private or shared calendars on Google Calendar.

1. Open Todoist.
2. Click your profile icon on the top right.
3. Select Settings. Alternatively, you can press O and then S on your keyboard.
   
4. Click Integrations.
   
   
5. Look for Google Calendar and click Connect calendar under it.
6. Select the Google Account you want to connect on the next screen.
7. Review what Todoist wants to access in your account and click Allow.
   
   
8. Click Agree on the next screen after reviewing Todoist’s permissions.
9. Review your integration settings, like which Todoist projects you want to sync, the Todoist label for new events, and more. Click Connect when done.
   

Once you’ve done this, you’ll have successfully connected your Todoist account to Google Calendar. The sync happens in real-time, so any changes you make in Google Calendar will appear in Todoist almost instantly. As the connection is two-way, you can also add tasks in Todoist and it’ll appear in your Google Calendar.

You can add multiple calendars from Google Calendar by following the same steps. This will allow you to create a separate to-do list for different purposes.

What Happens When You Link Google Calendar With Todoist?

Simply put, any events you add to your Google Calendar will be automatically added as tasks in Todoist after the integration. Your Google Calendar will have a new custom calendar titled Todoist. If you add an event to this calendar, it will show up in your Todoist inbox.
