The problem it solves

Scheduling tasks from your project tracker onto your calendar by hand means constantly checking for conflicts and manually creating each event. It is easy to double-book a time slot or lose track of which tasks have actually been scheduled.

Who it fits

Teams that manage tasks in Notion and want them reliably placed on the calendar without double-booking.

How it works

  1. A task is created or updated in Notion
  2. The system checks whether the scheduled time is free on the calendar
  3. Every task is logged to a spreadsheet for tracking
  4. If the time is free, a calendar event is created and the task is marked scheduled
  5. If there is a conflict, you get an email alert and the task is marked unscheduled
What you get

Tasks placed on your calendar without double-booking

Your Notion tasks get placed on the calendar automatically, with an alert if the time slot is already taken.

What you get

A calendar event for every schedulable task, a spreadsheet log of every task's status, and email alerts for any scheduling conflicts.

What you need

A Notion account, a Google Calendar account, a Google Sheets account, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
