Add notes to existing calendar events in Gcal/Outlook

11 votes

When reviewing your calendar events with Amplenote, being able to create a linked note to the event would be a huge benefit. A two way link from the Gcal event back to the note would greatly decrease friction of switching between the two applications. Being able to create a note in amplenote from Gcal, and creating a link, would be amazing. (For reference, Hugo.team also has this type of integration)

Here's a little more thought on this. Please let me know if this takes this suggestion in a different direction than originally intended.

I would expect the experience to be something like:
- create a note via the link on the calendar view when a calendar event is selected
- from the newly created note, be able to adjust the title to make the note unique (personally, I throw a date on the end of the title with {today} or something).
- the note ought to be accessible via the calendar view.

Currently, once the title is changed, the calendar event loses the "link" that's created between it and the note. My current workaround is to make my Google events with the date in the title. With recurring events, I put the date on the end to match my naming convention. The ability to access notes from the calendar view that is linked to events is really nice! So the workaround works for me for now.
