If you've set up the Google Calendar (Legacy) integration at some point, we encourage you to remove it for a seamless and efficient Calendar integration experience.

This will help prevent any duplicate entries and allow you to take full advantage of the new, more robust integration. Follow the steps below to safely remove the legacy integration before setting up the new Calendar integration.

Remove the Legacy integration

Note

You can't remove the Legacy Google Calendar integration in Todoist for iOS and Todoist for Android. Log in at todoist.com in a web browser to remove the integration.

There are two steps to complete before installing the new integration.

Step 1: Disconnect the integration

  1. Click your avatar in the top-left.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Click the Integrations tab.
  4. Under Google Calendar (Legacy), click the Disconnect this integration button.
  5. Click Disconnect to confirm.

Step 2: Remove Todoist tasks and Google Calendar events created with this integration

When you remove the integration between your Todoist and Google Calendar, the tasks and events created in your Google Calendar and Todoist account will still appear. Here’s how to remove them:

  1. Open the Todoist web app.
  2. Go to the project that your Google Calendar events have been synced to. If you’re unsure which project was synced, find a synced Todoist task on your Google Calendar and search for that task in Todoist.
  3. Bulk select and delete all tasks that synced from Google Calendar.
  4. Open Google Calendar.
  5. In the left panel, under My calendars, click on the X to the right of the calendar that was created during the setup of the integration, called Todoist by default.
  6. Confirm you want to delete the calendar by selecting Remove Calendar.
  1. Log in to Todoist at https://todoist.com.
  2. Go to the project that your Google Calendar events have been synced to. If you’re unsure which project was synced, find a synced Todoist task on your Google Calendar and search for that task in Todoist.
  3. Bulk select and delete all tasks that have been synced from Google Calendar.
  4. Open Google Calendar.
  5. In the left panel, under My calendars, deselect all calendars except for the one that was synced to your Todoist account, so you don’t accidentally remove tasks from other calendars.
  6. Right-click each event that’s synced from Todoist and select Delete. Repeat this step for all events that have been synced from your Todoist project(s).

If you have an existing integration between a Google Calendar and a Todoist project, and you've re-synced the project to a different Google Calendar, events in the previous Google Calendar won't move to the newer calendar.

Instead, the tasks will appear as new and identical events in the newer calendar.

After syncing your tasks, switch to the previous Google Calendar. Right-click each event that was synced from the project, and select Delete. Repeat this step for all other events.

Set up the new Calendar integration

Once you've completed the steps above, you won't encounter any conflicts or duplicate entries caused by the legacy integration. Now you can set up the new Calendar integration and enjoy a smoother and more stable calendar experience.
