Event notes

Once your calendar is synced to Craft, you can create Event Notes for any future or past events. These notes have the same editing and styling features as any other document in Craft.

​
Creating event notes

Make sure your calendar is synced to Craft
2
Open a Daily Note or create a new one
3
Switch to Calendar View in the left sidebar
4
Click the desired event and select “Create New Event Note”
Creating an event note
It is not possible to create event notes if your calendar is not synced to Craft.

​
Where event notes are stored

The new Event Note will be automatically added to the Daily Note of the corresponding date as a subpage: Event note storage location

​
Recurring event notes

If you accepted a recurring event invitation in a single batch, all Event Notes you create for that event are visible in every past and future occurrence of the same event: Recurring event notes example

​
What happens to event notes if you disable calendar or delete the event?

If you delete or disable the calendar events in Craft, your Event Notes turn into subpages. They remain stored in the daily notes corresponding to the date of the excluded event.

​
Why am I missing event notes for a recurring event?

Any change in a recurring event will be tracked as a new recurring event in Craft, hence the previous Event Notes won’t get carried over into the new event.

​
Troubleshooting

If you’re not seeing your calendar events in the Craft app, try these steps:Step 1: Restart the Craft appFor macOS users:
  1. Close the Craft app if it’s open
  2. Open Activity Monitor from Applications > Utilities
  3. Find Craft in the list, select it, and click the “X” button to stop it
  4. Reopen the Craft app
A complete restart of the app is necessary after enabling the connection with your calendar for the changes to take effect.
Step 2: Verify macOS Calendar settingsIf restarting doesn’t solve the issue, check your macOS Calendar settings:
  • Go to System Settings > Internet Accounts
  • Select your calendar account (e.g., Google) and ensure it’s correctly authenticated
  • If necessary, sign in again to refresh the authentication
Step 3: Adjust calendar refresh rateAdjusting the refresh rate can help ensure your events sync properly:
  1. Open the Calendar app
  2. Navigate to Calendar > Settings > Accounts
  3. Select the account that’s not showing events in Craft
  4. Set the “Refresh Calendars” option to “Every minute” for more frequent updates
Make sure the Craft app is updated to the latest version.
Problem: Event notes created on iOS/macOS aren’t syncing across all platforms with an Outlook calendar integration.Reason: The event note identifiers are created in MS Exchange for different devices, which creates challenges on Craft’s side. This appears to be by design in Microsoft Exchange, and since we don’t have control over the identifier creation, it’s not something we can resolve at this time.As a workaround, try creating event notes on the platform where you’ll primarily access them.
