With the Google Calendar Pack, you can bring your Google Calendar data into Coda for a complete single source of truth. This integration allows you to create events, send invites, manage meetings and more - directly from your Coda doc.

When you add a Google Calendar Events sync table to your doc, you have the option to enable two-way sync. With two-way sync, you can not only sync events from Google Calendar into Coda, but you can also make edits to events directly via your Coda table and have those edits reflected in Google Calendar. This ensures that your data stays in sync and up-to-date between the two tools.

By default, two-way sync is turned off for sync tables. You can turn it on by following the steps listed here.

You can use the Google Calendar Pack to create, update, and track calendar events. Within your Coda doc, draft up the event name, description, date and time, invitees, and more.

Check out this template to learn more about this use case and find step-by-step instructions.

Create a to-do list in Coda that’s connected to your Google Calendar events. This ensures that your to-dos and your events stay in sync, so you can keep track of all your tasks in one place. You start by creating a table of tasks in Coda, then syncing in the events in your Google Calendar, and finally associating each to-do with an event. You can even use buttons to quickly create new events if one doesn’t exist yet.

For more details on how to set this up, check out this comprehensive walk-through. Or you can find a more simplified template here.

Visualize and track how you’re spending your time. Sync your Google Calendar events into Coda, then assign each event a category.

Here’s the template to get you started.
