Getting Started
Chronicle keeps Discord and your calendars in lockstep. Start by picking the workflow that matches the direction you need events to flow.
Chronicle Bot has two primary features, Event Notifiers and Event Feeds.
Event Notifiers connect your external calendar into Discord. They can create native Discord Events, send event notifications, schedule reminders, and generate event summaries.
Event Feeds connect your Discord Events to an external calendar. They watch for Discord Event additions, updates, and cancellations and send that information to your externally connected calendar.
Event Notifiers and Event Feeds can be used together to create a 2-way sync between Discord and your external calendar.
Bring events into Discord
Spin up an Event Notifier to mirror Google Calendar (or another source) inside Discord.
Send events out of Discord
Create an Event Feed so Discord Event changes appear automatically on external calendars.
Quick Setup
Section titled “Quick Setup”To start syncing Google Calendar events to Discord:

Within minutes, your Google Calendar events will start appearing as Discord Events with automatic reminders and summaries.
What Can Chronicle Bot Do?
Section titled “What Can Chronicle Bot Do?”Create Native Discord Events from Google Calendar
Section titled “Create Native Discord Events from Google Calendar”Chronicle Bot’s Discord Event Sync feature automatically creates and maintains native Discord Events from your Google Calendar. Events appear in Discord’s Events tab and stay in sync with your calendar in real-time.
Send Automated Event Reminders
Section titled “Send Automated Event Reminders”Scheduled Reminders send messages to your Discord channel before events start. Set global reminder times that apply to all events, or use per-event timing from Google Calendar’s own notification settings. Event times are automatically converted to each member’s local timezone.
Post Daily or Weekly Event Summaries
Section titled “Post Daily or Weekly Event Summaries”Event Summaries post a digest of upcoming events to a Discord channel on a daily or weekly schedule. Summaries update in real-time as you make changes in Google Calendar, so your members always see accurate information.
Two-Way Sync
Section titled “Two-Way Sync”Use an Event Notifier and an Event Feed together to keep Google Calendar and Discord perfectly in sync in both directions without manual intervention.
