The events on your schedule span from work to play, so being able to optimize your Google Calendar will help you be more productive and organized. Additionally, it will reduce your day to day stress and let you enjoy each upcoming event.
Through task management, calendar syncing, and custom notifications, IFTTT can help you use Google Calendar like a pro.
Sync calendars
Different calendars can be tough to manage because you may prefer one while your company relies on another. If you are using more than one calendar, things can slip through the cracks and you risk missing upcoming deadlines. Adding an event to one calendar when it is added to your other one will help to make sure you know what you have going on each day.
Sync calendars with your family or work team by sending them an email when you add an event to your schedule.
Quickly add an event
Create shortcuts on your phone or service of choice to quickly make an event. Our note widget is a handy and quick way to jot down a note or put an upcoming event on your calendar while you are on the go.

Custom notifications
Using the event from search trigger, you can easily create custom notifications that are only triggered by keywords in an event title or description. Get a phone call when your daughter’s soccer practice is about to end, or receive a Discord message when your favorite streamer is about to go live. The ability to receive notifications on the platform of your choice, and to filter specific topics ensures you know exactly what is going on during the day.
Smart calendar, smart home
Integrating your calendar events with your devices and routines is a powerful way to automate your smart home. Turn your robot vaccuum off if you have a meeting, or park your lawn mower when you have guets coming over.
Task tracking
While calendars provide the ability to schedule and plan your life ahead of time, they also give you the flexibility to retroactively track and remember what you have previously done. Adding work hours to your calendar on the go can help you track client hours, as can logging incoming calls to your calendar. Similarly, tracking your sleep schedule or runs can help you spot trends and track important milestones.
