Why automate your calendar?

Managing a calendar (or multiple calendars) can be tedious. Especially when you’re juggling multiple accounts, devices, and responsibilities. With IFTTT, you can automate calendar tasks, ensuring that:

1. Events are synced across platforms

2. You get timely reminders for important meetings

3. New events are automatically created based on emails, messages, or form submissions

4. Your schedule integrates with your to-do lists and productivity apps

Whether you use Google Calendar or iOS Calendar, IFTTT offers powerful automation options to streamline your calendars.

Build your own custom ultimate calendar automation Applet

Choose your calendar: IFTTT supports Google Calendar and iOS Calendar, so pick the one you use most. You want to build your Applets around this as your central calendar.

Pick a trigger: Decide what event should kickstart your automation—new events, new tasks, new anything.

Select an action: Whether it’s sending a reminder, syncing an event, or updating another app, customize your calendar to fit your workflow.

Turn it on and stay organized: Activate your Applet and enjoy a seamlessly automated schedule!

You can build an Applet to generate calendar events for new leads through your website, or schedule a calendar event to show you the weather every morning. You can also create an Applet that syncs multiple calendars together. If you want to build a calendar syncing Applet, it will look something like this:

Another idea is to build an Applet that reminds you 15 minutes before your scheduled Google Calendar event. It could look like this:

Calendar syncing

The primary calendar automation we see is syncing events across multiple calendars. You can use Google Calendar personally and iOS calendar professionally. You are still one person. Instead of logging into two calendars everyday, sync events from both calendars into one primary calendar.

Add calendar events based on project management tools

Whenever you create a task in a project management tool or a task is assigned to you, you will always need to set aside time to complete the task. Automatically creating a calendar event for every task will keep your to-do list and calendar in sync.

Add calendar events with mobile widgets

The quickest way to add events or track time is with mobile widgets. With a click of a button you can add a "Do Not Disturb" event or write a quick note to create an event for the future.

Calendar notifications when you need it most

One of the worst things that can happen is missing a calendar event. You could have scheduled coffee with friends or a meeting with the teacher and life happens and you forget! With IFTTT you can get notified of any event directly on your phone, slack, or email. Stay on top of your calendar with these Applets.
