Integrations

TaskNotes integrates with external services and Obsidian's core plugins.

Bases Core Plugin#

TaskNotes v4 uses Obsidian's Bases core plugin for its main views (Task List, Kanban, Calendar, Agenda). Bases must be enabled in Settings -> Core Plugins.

For details on Bases integration, see Core Concepts.

External Calendars#

TaskNotes supports bidirectional sync with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook via OAuth, plus read-only access to any calendar via ICS subscriptions.

For setup instructions, see Calendar Integration.

HTTP API#

A REST API enables external applications to create, update, and query tasks. Use it for automation, browser extensions, or custom integrations.

For API documentation, see HTTP API.

Webhooks#

Webhooks send task event payloads to external services when subscribed events occur. Optional payload transformations support service-specific formats.

For configuration, see Webhooks.

Companion Plugins#

Companion plugins run inside Obsidian alongside TaskNotes and use the JavaScript runtime API for live task operations. They are useful when an integration needs a real Obsidian UI, command-palette commands, or vault-local configuration files.

For the companion-plugin model and guides for Canvas Bases and TaskNotes Workflows, see Companion Plugins.
