How to Sync Your Digital Planner with Google or Apple Calendar

[@michellejorgensen402]

Thank you. Did not quite realize that I need a digital organizer at this point. Thanks for the info and the tips!

[@dougn4709]

Thanks!

[@Wendaful]

Thank you! 😊

[@Jletsgetalong]

Thank you for this, but I have a question. I do not like my handwriting, so I do a text box, this does not transfer over to the calendar. I’ve tried many times, and only recognizes when it’s handwriting. Is there way around it?

[@AngelJackson31014]

This works perfectly! I love it! Thanks for the tip!

[@Wendaful]

Glad it helped!

[@MitziRoberts]

Do you have a tutorial for the Android?

[@rickiweaver11]

🤩 This is GENIUS - I'm sure I would have figured this out eventually. but DANG I've been double doing everything!! Thanks so much for this helpful tip! I have a samsung tablet -- but I'm sure going to try this! Thanks again!!

[@earthabeech7935]

Thank you very much! This is so freeing! Thanks again!

[@cskeating]

Thank you! Awesome tutorial.

[@danay-personalacc]

[@moesha1094]

This is a game changer! Thank you!❤🎉

Great video, I love the trick, but for some reason when I drop it, the "text" Doen't copy over for me like it does for you in IOS. Tips on not having to copy over event details. It shows "new event" but not the text in the box I dropped over.

[@mikehucal3]

Why does the drag to calendar work sometimes but others there is no green plus sign? Is there something I am missing?

[@Lioslaith]

What iPad cover is that? It's pretty!

[@PinoyDDragon]

So essentially you connect your apple calendar to your google calendar. Then input/drag everything into your apple calendar. Which in turn syncs and updates/appears on the Google calendar?

[@MariaEugenia-wr4ln]

Have to hold on for few seconds the lasso selection area until turn in invisible box then you can moved to the calendar

[@Ashley-cg3oq]

I cannot drag over from Goodnotes, could there be a setting I haven’t enabled that’s causing the problem?

[@regina_phalange-sg3ww]

So I tried with my Google calendar and it didn’t let me but it did with my Apple calendar

[@gp7919]

When I drag and drop from GoodNotes to the Apple Calendar with the Apple Pencil it immediately starts moving the Apple Calendar forward rapidly...I can't get it to just hold on the date/month I want...any suggestions?

[@JozeyRa]

Same !!

[@JozeyRa]

So I went into the day itself not the whole month view and was able to do it that way!

[@Jaremina]

So why use digital planner if you have to add it to the callendar anyway ?

[@Wendaful]

It’s basically like a paper planner but on your iPad. Calendar apps are great for scheduling, but digital planners in GoodNotes let you write things out, which feels more personal and helps with memory. They’re also visually customizable-you can add stickers, color-code, and create layouts that fit your style.

[@rev.edwardbubbataylor6105]

Am I understanding correctly that the appointments must be in a text box in order to transfer to the ios calendar, becsuse the hsndwritten appointments in good notes do not transfer?

[@Wendaful]

if you lasso around your handwriting and hold down on it then drag it it should work! Are you dragging into the apple calendar or google calendar?

[@ToocuteToQuit]

Hello when i lasso and move over it does not give me the green plus it just disappears please help

[@yagmursanselsevim]

I can not open my digital calendar and use my stickers, take notes, which app should I use fore it, now it’s in pdf format, please help

[@Wendaful]

Are you using android or iOS? If you’re on iOS I would recommend goodnotes, collanote or ZoomNotes and if you’re on android there’s xodo & Noteshelf

[@denisegodfrey1006]

Does this work with outlook and notes?

[@Wendaful]

You would probably just have to copy the text and paste don’t think you can drag it to copy

[@maritries39]

Is there not an automatic format? Newbie here 😅thanks :)

[@Wendaful]

I was thinking of creating my planners with these already set up and having them sent as ZoomNotes files. Would that be something you’d be interested in?

[@Cornnugget4]

@Wendaful - did you ultimately decide to use Goodnotes instead of ZoomNotes? I saw the video you linked re ZN but seems like maybe you think GN with this google calendar functionality is preferred? I've followed some of your other videos re ZN- I originally started with GN years ago, and switched to ZN b/c of the calendar syncing functionality for planning BUT ... I do find ZN very tedious (for various reasons) even after you get past the original "not super user friendly" learning curve. I asked in the ZN FB group why Ed doesn't just commit to commercializing it - he's been doing this for years. I wonder if he has another job and this was just a hobby. But if he commercialized it and spent the time / money to truly work out the bugs, it would be amazing and there would be a huge demand IMO. Anyway .... just wondered if you had any thoughts on sustainability of using it going forward vs GN.

[@Wendaful]

I go back and forth for these reasons too. Goodnotes is just a lot more simple and aesthetically pleasing. I could never get the stickers to work right in ZN. It also lagged a lot more than in GN.

[@Wendaful]

Have you tried goodnotes 6 yet?

[@Cornnugget4]

Thx for this! Sorry my notifications didn’t show you replied 🤪 I haven’t tried 6 yet - I’ll look into! These recent videos of yours give me hope for Zoomnotes 😉 Are you part of the FB help group? Thx again!

[@danababy1977]

Do this work with CollaNote

[@Wendaful]

Hi sorry for the delay! I had to download the app and try it out, but it doesn’t seem like you can do this with collanote unfortunately. It’s not allowing me to drag it into another window and it isn’t copying the text neither. I am new to collanote so maybe I’m missing something but I’ve tried multiple ways with no luck.

[@AnaBelén-v4u]

@@Wendaful I tried it with Noteful and Collanote, and it doesn´t work. It opens the space for a new event or reminder, but it does not recognize handwriting, it just says "reminder from an image" hahaha. With collanote it doesn't allow you to drag from outside the app. The only app this method works with is Goodnotes, sadly :( But it is a game changer, thank you for this tutorial!!

[@candicecossel]

What about the other way. Dragging my google appts into my digital planner ?

[@dlott2850]

It does not drag into google calendar. Any suggestions?

[@penfish12]

It did not work for me. 😢 I though I did it the same way you did.

[@davisgalleries]

Clever, but way too much focus on the hammer vs driving the nail. Just get things done

[@alidover4305]

When I do this, I drag a drop and then a "New Event" box pops up in the calendar like it is about to work and create a new event, and then the box just disappears. Any ideas what might be going wrong? Using GN and Apple Calendar.

[@Wendaful]

Hi I’m not sure if it was an update or not but I think it only works with handwriting not text boxes
