I’m looking for a good way to mimic Dynalist’s Google Calendar integration into Obsidian. The purpose is to connect my “timeless” Obsidian Notes to the timely and deadline-centric real-world using my computer and phone. I use the Android Calendar Alarm app to ring an alarm when a Google Calendar entry is coming up. if you’ve got a better way to ring a phone alarm and point to the relevant documents, I’m all ears!
I’d like this functionality:
-
When I add a date and time to a line in an Obsidian doc, that line is synced as a Google Calendar entry.
(I do this in Dynalist with an entry like this: “- Do the thing !(2024-10-21 14:00)” -
When I click on a link in that Google Calendar entry, I’m taken back to the Obsidian note.
(Dynalist creates entries that look like this: “October 21st, 2024 | Do the thing | https://dynalist.io/d/xxxxx”) -
Functionality in Obsidian to see a list of upcoming and overdue Google Calendar entries.
-
(I do this in Dynalist by creating searches like “since:today until:7d” (view items upcoming this week) and “until:now” (view overdue items)
Many of these parts seem to already exist but I haven’t seen this working. For instance, this date syncing script appears to push calendar entries to Google Calendar, the Reminder Plugin has a lot of date and alarm functionality. And the [Obsidian Tasks plugin](GitHub - obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks: Task management for the Obsidian knowledge base. has some important features. And this Google Calendar Integration thread talks of nearly succeeding.
