Amplenote makes it possible to connect Google, Outlook or Apple calendars to your Amplenote calendar. With a Pro subscription or higher, you can set up two-way calendar sync: when you schedule a task in Amplenote, it automatically shows up on other relevant calendars you designated. It's a great way to make sure that time-sensitive tasks don't slip through the cracks.
Three reasons users love our external calendar integration:
✅ Connect multiple calendars to your Work or Personal Task Domains. Set up & connect separate external Calendars for work vs. personal tasks, or calendars that should be visible to coworkers vs. calendars that include private event details.
✅ Every calendar can be set up to either "only import events" or "import events AND add new events as tasks are scheduled in Amplenote." Example.
✅ External calendar coloring is preserved. If you have set up special event coloring on your external calendars, that event coloring will be preserved in Amplenote.
And of course, all of this works whether events are setup as fixed recurrence, flexible recurrence, or one-time occurrences.
linkConnect an external calendar using "Task Calendar" setting tab
Amplenote "Task Calendar" Settings allows connecting to a new calendar
The first step is to log into Amplenote, go to your user settings, and then the "Task Calendar" option from the left side. From there, you can log in to Google, Microsoft, or Apple with the calendar you'd like to have your Amplenote sent into.
linkChoose "incoming sync" or "two-way sync"
After an account is connected, you can toggle the nature of the external calendar sync. Select "Show events only" to import events from your external calendar or "Show events and publish tasks" to enable two-way sync.
Configure one-way or two way sync in Settings => Task Domains
linkDefine a task Start Time (aka "Due date")
Once you've connected your calendar, your tasks are ready to be sent to your calendar. 🎉 Use the "Start At" field to control when the event will show up on your calendar. The "Duration" field controls how long the event is scheduled for.

As you choose these fields, Amplenote will propagate the changes to your external calendar
linkEnable two-way calendar sync
To send tasks to an external calendar, you must start by following the steps above to enable two-way external calendar sync (by choosing "Show events and publish tasks" as shown in the "Choose 'incoming sync' or 'two-way sync'" above).
After you've done that, when you create a new task in a note that's present in the Task Domain, it will show up in your Google, Outlook, or Apple calendar. If you update or change the start time or duration of the task, it will change on your external calendar.
If you change the event on your external calendar, that update will be reflected in Amplenote, usually within a couple seconds:
You can also add tasks to your external calendar through the "Add a Task" box that's available in the lower-right corner of the Calendar Pane:
Creating a new task in Calendar Pane
As long as the note that is receiving the new task contains a tag that's included in the Task Domain, the task will show up on your external calendars.
