Notion Client

The inspiration for this project came from my own experience using Notion. Though Notion's calendar view is very helpful, it would be even better if it was able to integrate with existing calendar solutions so that my Outlook or Google Calendar contained all the information I need for my day. As a student, my Notion calendar is full of class deadlines months and months in advance and incorpating all those events into my calendar without having to spend the afternoon manually inputting them.

Note: Some of the setup of this project is specific to how my Notion database is setup. This project can be cloned and changed accordingly to account for differences in how notion users have their setups.

Notion API

Notion's new API is very powerful and has allowed this project to happen. With their excellent development tools, I was able to quickly get this project working and collect the data I needed from my existing Notion databases.
