How to use Calendar Sync

A step-by-step guide to get your monday.com board syncing to Google Calendar in under a minute.

Install the app

Install Calendar Sync from the monday.com Marketplace. Once installed, add it as a Board View on any board you want to sync.

How to add the view: Open your board → click the + button next to your existing views (Main Table, Kanban, etc.) → select Apps → find Calendar Sync → click to add.

Connect your accounts

The setup wizard shows two cards — one for monday.com and one for Google Calendar. Click each to authorize via OAuth. Both must show a green checkmark before you can continue.

monday.com

Grants read access to your boards and permission to register webhooks.

Google Calendar

Grants permission to list your calendars and create, update, and delete events.

Choose a calendar & map your columns

Select which Google Calendar to sync to, then map your monday.com columns to calendar event fields.

Event field	What to map	Notes
Title	Item name, text column, or template	Templates support {Column Title} placeholders
Start date	Date or Timeline column	Date only = all-day event. Date + time = timed event
End date	Date or Timeline column	If empty: all-day → +1 day, timed → +1 hour
Description	Any text column	Uses the column’s display text
Location	Any text column	Uses the column’s display text
Attendees	People or Email column	People column emails are resolved automatically
Color	Status column	Each status label maps to one of 11 Google Calendar colors

Tip: Only the Title and Start date fields are required. All other fields are optional — map as many or as few as you need.

Set filters (optional)

By default, all items on the board are synced. Use filters to sync only what matters:

Group filter — Sync only items from specific groups on the board
Status filter — Sync only items with specific status values (e.g. "In Progress", "On Track")
Person filter — Sync only items assigned to you

When an item no longer matches your filters (e.g. its status changes), the corresponding calendar event is automatically removed.

Enable link writeback (optional)

Choose a text or link column on your board, and Calendar Sync will write the Google Calendar event URL back to that column after each sync. This gives you a one-click shortcut from your board to the calendar event.

Board item → Google Calendar event link written back to your chosen column

Sync is live

Click Save and your sync starts immediately. All existing items that match your filters are synced right away. From this point on:

New items on the board → new calendar events
Column changes → calendar events updated within seconds
Deleted items → calendar events removed automatically
Filter mismatches → calendar events removed automatically

After setup: the dashboard

Once your sync is running, the board view switches to a dashboard where you can:

Sync Now

Trigger a full re-sync of all items on the board at any time

Monitor status

See sync status, last sync time, and recent activity

Edit settings

Update your column mapping, filters, or target calendar

Pause / resume

Temporarily pause syncing without losing your configuration

Good to know

Is the sync one-way or two-way?

One-way: monday.com → Google Calendar. Changes in Google Calendar are not synced back to monday.com.

How fast do changes sync?

Within seconds. Calendar Sync uses webhooks, not polling — so changes are pushed as soon as they happen on your board.

What happens if I uninstall?

All your data (tokens, connections, sync records) is deleted within 10 days. Calendar events already created in Google Calendar remain unless you delete them manually.

Can I sync multiple boards?

Yes. Add Calendar Sync as a board view on each board you want to sync. Each board gets its own independent configuration.

What about Timeline columns?

Timeline columns create all-day events spanning the timeline range. The start and end dates are used directly.
