📖Reference: All Things Calendars

Introduction

Motion integrates directly with external calendars — Google, Microsoft Outlook, and iCloud — to unify your schedule. External events sync into Motion so you can see all commitments in one place, while Motion tasks and events display back into your external calendars for visibility. By combining your personal and work calendars with Motion’s AI scheduling, you get a single, accurate view of your time.
