Add a Calendar View to your Notion Database
The key is making sure your database has a Calendar View somewhere in Notion.
Two ways to do this:
Use an existing Calendar View that you’ve embedded inline anywhere in Notion.
Create a new Calendar View directly on the database page.
The date property you select for the Calendar View determines what appears in Notion Calendar.
Open databases in Notion Calendar
After creating a Calendar View, click “Open in Calendar” (top right corner).
This opens Notion Calendar in a web browser (not the app—Notion is yet to fix this).
Your database entries will appear in Notion Calendar.

You can also link Notion databases to Notion Calendar. Make sure that the Notion workspace that has the database you want to add, is connected .
Hover over the calendar's name on the left panel
