How I Merge Notion Databases: A Master Calendar Use-Case 

You just solved my biggest problem, you're doing such a great job with these videos can't thank you enough!

Thank you SO MUCH. This is EXACTLY what I was searching for and everyone else I found was only teaching how to create the linked databases whereas I already had my individual databases & wanted to create a master database from my existing ones. Your video was so specific and easy to understand. Thank you sooo very much!!

this was very helpful, this "merged calendar" was bugging my head lately because I couldn't do it by myself so i would still need google calendar and notion, but now I can do it only with notion thanks for the video ;)

Thank you for the great inspiration. Instead of many relations and rollups, everything is now in one calendar. I used the Christmas holidays for the renovation and thanks to the great tips I'm starting the new year very clearly. All the best for 2021.

Red, you’re a gem! I’ve actually been really struggling with managing my time, as I’ve got so many activities that I’m venturing into, and have been looking for ways to merge all of my notion to do lists as they’ve been getting out of hand. So this is an absolute lifesaver. I can’t thank you enough honestly!

I just want to say as a Notion newbie, but one who has watched at least 30 videos, yours are the absolute best. You present meaningful topics in a clear way, but even more than that, you bring it all together. I got more from watching this one video than I got spending 2 hours scouring Reddit r/notion posts, doing Google searches, and the Notion documentation. Thank you for your contributions to the Notion community.

You don't know how much your videos are helping me. I've been struggling to build a satisfactory and practical Notion system of my own. Before, I was like having dozens of disorganized databases all around my Notion. I didn't know what I was doing. All seemed too complicated and I thought I was too old for this. But I've been learning with your videos and it all started to make so much sense. It was mindblowing and eye-opening to actually be able to see all the potential Notion has. What you do is magnificent! You have inspired me a lot. Thank you so much.

Hi, I'm a newbie at Notion and I had some anxiety starting up databases because I first thought of "but how do I combine everything?" and really needed a Master calendar before anything... So Thank you for a great video! It gave me tons of great advice of how to move forward and organize myself. I also appreciate that it took you less than 15 minutes to teach me this!!

Omg changing to text property just fixed my life you glorious human!!!

This was a great video. It solved my exact issue of difficulty in managing multiple Notion Databases. Thanks for showing merges with different types of Notion databases!

You're a genius and I cannot thank you enough for creating this video. This is exactly what I was looking for and it saved me from so much work and confusion trying to figure out what I was going to do.

Reason for changing Select -> Text: Otherwise the destination property is empty (found out by experimenting). Also, it doesn't matter if a tag (value) has spaces in it - when you "turn into text", tag/select values get separated by commas

THANK YOU. your channel its the best for notion for sure! ive watched almost 10 videos already and you helped in every one of them. My notion is functional for my company in a way a never imagined. Thank youuuu

I have been using Notion for about 2 weeks now and your videos and code have helped me immensly. Thank you.

Literally have asked on so many forums about how to do this. You just blew my mind. I wish I had known this MONTHS ago! Makes complete sense! You are a genius!

You have no idea how valuable this was for me. Thank you. I wish Notion had a way to create a "page view" that allowed me to hide and expose certain properties from something like this on a page level, but alas, that doesn't exist yet. Either way, this was super helpful.

I just discovered your channel while making a notion for my first year in grad school - super helpful and easy to follow along!! Thank you for these videos!!!

So many people have been saying about , but they show how they are doing it! I couldn’t find anyone yet who told about /linked-database , Thank you! This was the biggest problem I was having!

This might still be a year+ old post but super relevant to me who has just build a nest of Databases in Notion. Thank you so much for sharing!

This is a game changer! I've seen master calendars on Notion but didn't know how to make one, and this video cleared it up fast and how. Thank you so much :)

Is there a way to do this but to still keep the contents in the other database as well? I want the information to be consolidated into a big database, but to also stay in the one that they were originally in as well

A master database to rule them all ! Thank you for this video, that's what I was looking for as I manage multiple different projects at the same time so I needed a unique database view and calendar but also wanted to keep each project isolated.

Thank you! This video is still helping people 3 years later

This is exactly what I was looking for and on my first search. You are the "🐐" of Notion my dear. I have about 15 different databases that I totally need to consolidate and this was the 🔑! Thank you so much!!!

thank you! I've been searching for how to connect all my to-do lists from different databases and I think this might just be the best way to run my Notion account...simplify is my moto this year! Beautiful!

During the video, u were solving every single question that showed up in my mind. I do hope this would help me too. Thank u

OMG! I spent the last 12 hours literally looking to do that!!! Thank you so much, you are a gem!!!

Super helpful. The way you broke things down was very clear and thoughtful. This is the first time I've seen any of your videos. You're doing a great job of walking people through. Thanks so much for your help. I feel pretty confident that you gave me the tools to clear my headspace! :)

I've watched this video multiple times - I set up my work and personal workspaces using this technique (although it's not necessary for everything to be combined into one DB). Thanks! 🙏

Genius. This is how to explain a complex process in a nice, friendly and professional way. Thanks.

thanks for sharing! Searching for this info for 2 hours and no ones explained it like you :)

2023 and this video helped me a lot! I was looking for a way to get together my calendars from different activities to be more productive. So, THANK U!

Really useful and perfect end of year timing - thanks!

So relieved I searched for this before trying to manually bring over entries! Super helpful explanation - thank you !!

You are a true angel. Thank you for this video. My family and I genuinely appreciate the time you spent to give back to the world. 🙏🤟💌

Thank you so much for you spending your time an energy in all your videos. This one was very useful and very much what I was looking for. Lots of love from Bengaluru, India

As always, amazing tutorial. I love how smart, calm and friendly your instructions are :)

Thank you so much for the video! It was an eye opener. ⭐ In fact, as a side note, your videos are informative and easy to understand! 👍🏻 Perhaps, instead of saying "hope this makes sense", say "if anything is unclear, please leave a note in the comments". 😉

Awesome, thanks. So smart turning the logic around and not creating several databases and trying to link them in one (What is nevertheless not possible) you create one master and use this as a reference 🤯 Love it! It helped me a lot!

Red thank you so much for doing these videos! I greatly enjoy your teaching style. Very helpful.

Wow! Thanks much! Very excited to merge our Content database with our Events/conferences Database and be able to see it all on the calendar!!!

I hope the departure was for good reasons. It appeared on RU-vid, I had to listen to it again. Good luck, you deserve it!

Thanks very clean and easy to understand. I wish all videos are like yours.

Thank you very much, your explanations are very clear! And yes, I’m gonna simplify !

Thank you, yet another great tutorial to add to my knowledge base

Do you know if there's a way to move db entries that have relation properties from one db to another?

Thank you for saying about "i hope it helps" in the end of the video! This inspired me to share: yes, it helps, it helps tremendously! I'm 27y.o. from Crimea, Russia. I'm trying to make a database for tracking books, trainings, sleep log, food log etc. I feel like this makes my life so much better, more calm and more proud of accomplishment since they noted. So I'm trying to learn how to use notion, and actually your channel is the best I found for this purpose. Your skill and point of view, your ideas and your calming voice - everything is so helpful. I watch your videos for a month already, they have been a great help. Also English is my third language, so your articulation is really clean, it is easy to understand what you are saying. Nd video editing skills - like, I'm seeing this formulas for the first time - and I can understand it. Because of you 🍀 So yes, your videos are very helpful, they give me knowledge of hot to make my life better. Thank you so much 💖✌️

Thank you so much! You explained this really well and felt that the speed of the video was new user friendly. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

You just solved a major issue for me. And on top of it sparked a lot of ideas for my Notion Workspace. Thank you so much.

This is exactly what I needed help with, and it made perfect sense to me. Thank you!

AABSURD quality of speech and display of talent and work, thank you and congratulations.

You are a wonderful speaker. I fall in love with your intro

Thank you for this. I’m just starting out so I am excited to create a merged calender from the get go!

I don't leave comments often, but this really saved me!

Notion has improved this since 2020 - you no longer have to change the select to text but you need to make sure that the destination database has ALL the options that the origin database has, or the property will be blank when you move it. Selects take on the colour of the destination database too.

I‘m from Germany and new to Notion. But I love to explore new functions. Also love the way you explain, its always easy to understand. Just love your videos!❤️Keep up your good work! Hope to get to know more about relations und formulas soon as well

I don't want to flatter you, but you are one of the best Notion teachers, explaining Notion here on RU-vid! I am looking for a solution to the following problem, and I think you gave me the inspiration for a solution in this video. I use Bardeen to scrape LinkedIn Profile Data to a Notion Database. I have another database for LinkedIn Profiles too. The two databases have some fields that are the same and other fields that are specific to the respective database. When I run the Bardeen Playbook to scrape LinkedIn Profiles, I want to add the new scraping results to my other database too.

Thank you so much! I just started using Notion and want to create a futureproof all-in-one system with multiple workspaces. And for that I need a single master calendar for all the various tasks, and I couldn't quite figure out how.

I have spent hours trying to find a tutorial on how to do this. THANK YOU

Thank you for the video, it helped me understand a lot more about how database linking works. I tried linking multiple databases into a master database.. but this is so much easier to link independent databases from one master database using filters.

Is that possible to "Link" instead of "Merge" my databases? Let's say I have multiple databases called: Study, Work, Personal These three databases include different articles for different purposes. I don't want to merge them all into one single Master database. Is that possible to link these three databases and filter out the "Featured" tag from my tag property so I can show specific articles that I want to show in my Dashboard?

E searched this in all the web and you the only people teaching that

Thank you so very much for this, Red! It answered all the gaps and voids of information in my head about trying to consolidate and harmonize my Notion system. Liked & Subscribed!

Hi! I explain my problem: I need 4 databases: - clients - contacts - tickets - final costumers The last 3 databases belongs to clients (so in each client I can see only his tickets, his contacts and his final costumers) i know how to do all of that. Now, when I create a ticket, I need that notion picks the information of the final costumer that I want, for example, I have the costumer phone number, and I want to select that costumer by his phone number, so now it appears in my ticket, but I also that another properties can be autofilled, for example the costumer’s name or som notes I have written about him before. I would also want to send a notificarion with the information I want to show to the client. Is it that possible?

Thank you so much!! I had no idea about the "turn multiselect etc into text" trick, it was super useful!

Thank you, brilliant girl. You helped so much that I don't know how to thank you

Thank you. This is the answer of my needs.

the way i liked and subscribed with a quickness! thank you! been wondering how to do this for years! 💜

this was very helpful! I'm definitely going to be trying this method.

Red you are the true gem! Thank you for uploading this type of stuff.

This is awesome! I've been looking for how to do it for ages, thank youuu

OH MY GOD... this is what I have been looking for .... Thank you so much for the super tool! I (and my boss) will definitely be happy.

thank you so much!!!!!! ive been struggling to merge two notion templates for the past two weeks

Thanks for the tut Red. This was cool. It's too bad that this is such a manual task. Simple enough with small databases with only a handful of properties... but when I've got databases with a hundred or so properties, and others with only

Very Helpful, I have 2 companies to run and way to much to do. Started using Notion and things are getting messy. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Çok teşekkür ederim, Türkiye ' den translate ile Türkçe izliyorum ve bu video diğerleri gibi çok işime yaradı.

Thank you so much for creating this video! I was getting so frustrated with relations and rollups. This is so much simpler and easier to use. I cannot express just how helpful this was! Thank you. :)

I've been struggling to do this for weeks!!! Thank you so much!!

Genius. You are so underrated. And I understand this channel is growing. I can see you getting a lot of subscribers soon! I believe in Notion Supremacy!

Hi, Red! I can't get the several assignment schedules I have made for each class to merge into one master assignment schedule. I tried the paste method but it didn't transfer any of the categories info. I tried the move to method, but the other master table I made doesn't show up when I search the list that comes up. :\

got the help i was looking for! highly informative and easy to follow, thank you sooo much!!!

YOU ARE THE GREATEST PERSON RIGHT NOW!

Nice technique, thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much!! After your video I've finally discovered that exist this button "/Create Linked Database"!!! Amazing!!!!

Absolutely loved it! I just made a master first and then made linked views, but lovedd this!

This tutorial was a life-saver for me. Thank you so much!

Waouh! Great video! Thanks! It's just what I needed! I wanted to create a big database as you shown, but I was thinking I should write again every line! your video is a huge help!!!

Thank you! Such a great video! I'm just wondering whether it's possible to access everything from Master data base not in calendar view, but also in the table view?

OMG! I've been trying to do this for too long now thank you!

Hi Red, Just want to confirm that the dropdown view is no longer available in Notion right? Because I tried to add a view, but it is not showing as dropdown, it looks more like added tab like in excel. Can you please confirm? or is there a way to make it a dropdown view list like the one in your video? Thanks a lot in advance. you are so helpful your videos help me a lot at my work.

Very good! Thank you for sharing.

Great info. Thank you so very much. I'm sure I will need to watch this again as I actually do it.

This was INSANELY helpful!! Thank you!!

Great video and great explanation! Greetings from Brazil.

Very well done.

Great ! Thank you , makes totally sense ! Tried to do it last week and messed up totally 😂😂😂😂 - now I know how to do it better ! Thanks ! Stay confident !

Yessssssss Gurl !!! Thanks so much 🙏 My question is: Is it possible to use Notion as a website, where people can book appointments & book themselves into online events INTO a calendar like this, which I publish as I go along ? How would this work and is it possible for this set-up to be free in the beginning, as I am building a clientele ? I’ve figured lately that I spend so much time in Notion for so much private life & biz management anyway, that it could be quicker and easier, if I could integrate the 2 and just make certain pages public for customers and voila ! Note: I am not a developer and might need help with this. I just wonder if this is more time efficient as opposed to planning a project in Notion and then publishing the same end result in Wix (or else) again ?

You make this look so simple. Think I need to set aside some hours to play about because it is NOT simple in my brain!

Hi Red, thanks for the video! I've got a question which seems too hard for me to figure out. I have a brand design studio and each time a client signs they get their own Notion dashboard (based of a template, which I fill out for each client). This includes a Project Overview table with dates for each milestone within our project. I am now looking to automatically have these milestone dates transferred to my master calendar - how would you approach this?

Made sense on second run through. Thanks!
