If you've set up the Google Calendar (Legacy) integration at some point, we encourage you to remove it before setting up and taking advantage of the new, more robust Calendar integration. This will help prevent any duplicate entries, so you can enjoy a more seamless and efficient way to manage your time. 

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.

Step 1: Disconnect the integration

  1. Log in to Todoist at https://todoist.com.
  2. Click your avatar at the top-left.
  3. Select Settings.
  4. Click the Integrations tab.
  5. Under Google Calendar (Legacy), click the Disconnect this integration button.
  6. 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. 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 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. Under My calendars, deselect all calendars except for the calendar synced with your Todoist account. This is to prevent accidentally removing 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 created by the legacy integration. You can set up the new Calendar integration and enjoy a smoother and more stable calendar experience.
