I want to be able to create new meeting notes from meetings defined in my calendar (Google Calendar specifically) and have it pull in the date, time, attendees, subject, and any notes in the meeting invite. I have to do all this manually today, and automation would be desirable.

Hello,
Are your appointments available on the Calendar app? Do you plan to do this on your Mac or iPhone/iPad?
I would love to have this too. For me, via the Apple Calendar app.
Somehow I remembered a sharing option for calendar events but I must dream about it. However, is possible to pull all the events of the day from Calendar in Shortcuts. My idea is to create a note for each event I find with a link back to the Calendar. Is this what you had in mind?
I was thinking Bear could read either the Mac calendar (or iOS), and optimally google calendar and let me pick an appointment. Thenper my feature request pull in the meeting meta data.

Today Calendar Event to Bear.shortcut.zip (13.6 KB)
This shortcut picks all today’s events in Calendar (macOS+iOS) and lets you choose the one to pick. Once picked, a new note with the following information is created in Bear: Event title, start date, end date, location, duration, attendees, URL, notes and attachments.

This is awesome! Thank you!
I use shortcuts, but I’ve never been able to make more complex ones like this work.
This is so helpful - very much appreciated.
this works well for me too. any chance it will become a feature of Bear vs unmanaged shortcut scripting?
The Bear’s actions provided in Shortcut are created and maintained by us and the other are Apple’s.
Regarding in-app integration, what concerns me a little is prompting users with a request for Calendar access in-app, but If more people request this kind of integration we can consider adding it.

Thanks for sharing the shortcut! It fills a gap for me in my daily bear usage, and is a great fit!

I would love calendar access in-app!
@trix180 any update on this? The shortcut is good but I’d prefer it as a native feature in the workflow just how you described it.
At the moment, we don’t have plans for a native Calendar integration, and not a lot of requests for this subject.
Pl pl pleaseee, this will be a game changer🙏
Also agreed that this would be very useful
Would love this feature
I would really like to see this as well.
Built in calendar integration is a feature I’d love to see whether it’d be being able to click on a calendar event in the side bar and being able to choose to append to current note or new note, would fit a lot of workflows that are calendar dependent such as for work meetings or class lecture notes.

to add on, the ability to create a note from a calendar event would also then allow me to be in calendar app and then click the note link from the calendar event’s notes. Agenda and Noteplan are two apps I have experienced a similar feature with and would like to be able to have a similar workflow as I think it’d allow Bear to be more cohesive with the other apps in common workflows (reminders and calendar specifically)
Current Workflow example:
- create Note
- insert meeting text or run shortcut to append template (also a native feature that would improve Quality of Life)
- copy link
- go back to calendar app
- tap into event details
- scroll and tap into note details
- paste link
Ideal Workflow:
- Open Bear (Possible right side panel with calendar events)
- select calendar event and then either append to current note or create new note
This could be applied to meetings, lectures, shopping lists, possibilities are limitless and would allow user to be in the calendar and click event then click right into the note and not have to constantly context switch just to add a link to be able to get back later; fast, efficient, and out of the way if you didnt want to use the feature… perfectly alligning with Bear.
