Todoist Google Calendar Sync Not Working
Workaround available Web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Most 'not syncing' cases are sync rules: only tasks with a date and time sync (unless all-day sync is on), they land in a separate Todoist calendar, and shared-project tasks sync only if assigned to you. If eligible tasks still don't appear, disconnect and reconnect the integration.
Most likely fix: Make the Todoist calendar visible.
Symptoms
Tasks don't appear in Google Calendar, events show at the wrong time, Google events don't show in Todoist, completed recurring tasks aren't checked off, or events vanish.
Why it happens
- Task has a date but no time and 'Sync all-day tasks' is off
- The Todoist calendar is hidden in Google Calendar
- Task is in a shared project and not assigned to you
- GMT-based time zone ignoring daylight saving time
- Project was archived (removes its events)
- Second Google account (only one is supported)
- Company IT blocking the connection
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Make the Todoist calendar visible
- In Google Calendar, open My calendars in the left sidebar
- Tick the Todoist calendar
2. Check which tasks are eligible
- Give the task both a date and a time
- Or turn on Sync all-day tasks in Settings > Calendars
- In shared projects, assign the task to yourself
3. Disconnect and reconnect
- Click your avatar > Settings > Calendars
- Click Disconnect
- Click Connect Google Calendar and complete setup again
4. Fix events at the wrong time
- Settings > General: switch from a GMT time zone to a geographic one (e.g. Europe/Paris)
- Make sure Google Calendar and your device use the same time zone
- Create a new test event
5. Refresh slow Google events in Todoist
- Settings > General > Clear local data > Reload
- If still missing, reconnect the integration
6. Fix repeated disconnects
- Ask IT to allow Todoist as a trusted app on work accounts
- If you see a redirect loop, authorize in a private/incognito window
