How to Connect Your Calendar to Amazon Alexa for Effortless Scheduling

Alexa, the intelligent virtual assistant in Amazon Echo devices, helps you manage your day seamlessly. Simply say, "Alexa, what's on my calendar today?" to get an instant overview. Linking your calendar unlocks hands-free planning—let's set it up.

How to Connect Alexa to Your Online Calendar

Alexa supports iCloud Calendar, Google Calendar, Microsoft Office 365, and Outlook.com calendars. You can link one calendar per account, and other Amazon Household members can link theirs too.

1. Open the Alexa app on your smartphone.
2. Tap the menu icon (hamburger) in the top left and select Settings.
3. Choose Calendar & Email (or Calendar).
4. Select your calendar provider from the supported options.
5. Tap Link Account and follow the prompts to grant access.

For iCloud, enable two-factor authentication first. Note: Anyone with access to your Alexa devices can query linked calendars. You can select specific calendars like "Personal" or "Work" during setup.

Your calendar is now synced. Ask Alexa for reminders, next events, or holidays. Add events hands-free: "Alexa, create a meeting called [event name] with [person name]." Explore all voice commands on Amazon's Help page.
