TaskNotes Integration

Obsidian Ecosystem Integration

TaskNotes is a specialized provider that allows you to sync and manage scheduled tasks from the TaskNotes plugin directly on your calendar.

Power Up with Categories

TaskNotes also support Advanced Categories. You can categorize your tasks (e.g., Personal - Grocery list) to apply specific colors and styles on your agenda.

How it Works

The TaskNotes provider connects to the TaskNotes internal cache. It interprets any task with a scheduled property as a calendar event.

  • Bidirectional Sync: Dragging a TaskNotes event on the calendar updates its scheduled date/time in the original note.
  • FCR Command Support: Use the FCR Command to quickly create TaskNotes tasks using TaskNotes-native NLP UI.
  • Custom UI: Clicking a TaskNotes event opens the native TaskNotes edit modal for advanced task refinement.
  • Status Awareness: The provider respects completion statuses. Completed tasks are visually distinguished on the calendar.

Rescheduling and TaskNotes Properties

Dragging or resizing a TaskNotes event in Full Calendar updates the original task note in your vault.

Full Calendar always writes these TaskNotes scheduling properties:

scheduled: 2026-04-23
scheduled-link: "[[2026-04-23]]"

The scheduled value is the date, or date and time, that TaskNotes uses to place the task on the calendar. The scheduled-link value is the matching daily-note link.

Full Calendar may also update these companion properties when they still point at the old scheduled date:

due: 2026-04-23
due-link: "[[2026-04-23]]"
deadline: 2026-04-23
deadline-link: "[[2026-04-23]]"

due is the task's due date and deadline is the task's deadline date. The -link properties are daily-note links for those dates. If a due or deadline value is different from the previous scheduled date, Full Calendar leaves it unchanged so intentional due/deadline metadata is preserved.

These properties are part of TaskNotes task metadata. See the TaskNotes documentation for the current TaskNotes field definitions.

NLP Endpoint Modes

When an NLP create command targets a TaskNotes calendar, Full Calendar delegates creation to TaskNotes UI.

The endpoint mode is configurable at Settings → Integrations → TaskNotes Integration:

  • Search + Create (selector modal) (default): Opens TaskNotes selector + create flow with NLP text prefilled.
  • Direct Create (creation modal NLP): Opens TaskNotes create modal directly with NLP text prefilled.

This default is intentionally conservative and discoverable: Search + Create helps users validate the target task context before confirming.

Setup

  1. Ensure the TaskNotes plugin is installed and enabled in your vault.
  2. Go to Full Calendar Settings → Calendar Sources.
  3. Click Add Source and select TaskNotes.
  4. The provider will automatically attempt to link with the TaskNotes cache.
  5. (Optional) Open Integrations → TaskNotes Integration and change NLP endpoint mode.
