# Complete Actions Integration Guide

*Applies to: iOS, iPadOS, macOS · Updated 2026-08-13*

A complete guide to connecting Timepage and Actions so your events and tasks appear in both apps and stay in sync.

[Original article](https://bonobolabs.com/support/timepage/complete-integration-guide/)

Timepage and Actions work together seamlessly to give you a complete view of your schedule and tasks. This bidirectional integration allows you to see your calendar events and Action Cards in both apps, with changes syncing automatically.

## Overview

When you use both Timepage and Actions, the two apps share information in both directions:

- **Actions in Timepage**: Your Action Cards appear in Timepage's [Timeline](/support/timepage/navigating-timeline-and-day-view/) and [Day View](/support/timepage/navigating-day-view/) - see [Actions in Timepage](/support/timepage/actions-in-timepage/) for details
- **Timepage in Actions**: Your calendar events appear in Actions' [Schedule](/support/actions/schedule/) panel - see [Timepage in Actions](/support/timepage/timepage-in-actions/) for details
- **Automatic sync**: Changes made in either app appear in the other automatically

This integration helps you see your full day at a glance – both your scheduled events and your tasks – so you can avoid overbooking and plan more effectively.

## Setting Up the Integration

### Requirements

- **Both apps installed** on your device
- **Same Bonobo account** signed in to both apps - see [Creating and Managing Accounts](/support/account/creating-and-managing-accounts/)
  - In Actions: Menu > Account
  - In Timepage: Menu > Account
  - Sign in with email, Google, or Apple – use the same account for both
- **Internet connection** for syncing

### Setup Steps

- Install both Actions and Timepage on your device
- Sign in with the same Bonobo account in both apps
  - Open Actions, go to Menu > Account, and sign in
  - Open Timepage, go to Menu > Account, and sign in with the same account
- The integration happens automatically once both apps are signed in

After setup, tasks you add to Actions will immediately begin appearing in Timepage, and events you add to Timepage will appear in Actions.

## Actions in Timepage

### Timeline View

In Timepage's [Timeline](/support/timepage/navigating-timeline-and-day-view/), your Action Cards appear on their scheduled dates alongside your calendar events.

**Visual indicators:**

- Tasks display their name on the date you assigned in Actions
- Events show their calendar color
- Actions display alongside events on the same day

This helps you see both your scheduled events and tasks at a glance, making it easy to understand your full day.

### Day View

When you tap into a specific day in Timepage's [Day View](/support/timepage/navigating-day-view/), all to-dos for that day appear under an "Actions" header.

**What you'll see:**

- [Action Cards](/support/actions/creating-action-cards/) show their [List](/support/actions/lists/) color and title
- Actions display their List and [Schedule](/support/actions/schedule/) information from Actions
- All your tasks for that day organized together

### Interacting with Actions from Timepage

You can manage your Action Cards directly from Timepage:

- **View details**: Tap an [Action Card](/support/actions/creating-action-cards/) to launch Actions and see full details (notes, [schedule](/support/actions/schedule/), [List](/support/actions/lists/))
- **Mark complete**: Swipe right to left (short) on an Action Card
- **Reschedule**: Swipe left to right (short) to reschedule
- **Delete**: Swipe left to right (long) to delete
- **Move between days**: Drag Action Cards from one day and drop them to another
- **Create new Action**: Tap the plus (+) button at bottom of screen, then tap "Action" – this launches Actions where you type the title, then press Done to return to Timepage

All changes made in Timepage sync back to Actions automatically, so you don't have to worry about marking tasks in multiple places.

## Timepage Events in Actions

### Schedule Panel

All your Timepage events automatically appear in Actions under the [Schedule](/support/actions/schedule/) panel on their relevant day. This helps you see your full schedule (events + tasks) in one place.

**Features:**

- Events display with their representative calendar color, so you can distinguish which calendar they belong to
- Events appear on the correct day based on when they're scheduled
- Tapping on an event launches that day in Timepage, where you can view more information on your schedule

### Moving Tasks to Calendar

If you're adding an [Action Card](/support/actions/creating-action-cards/) that feels more like a calendar event, you can quickly move it over to Timepage by tapping the "move to Timepage" button above the keyboard. Timepage will then launch, and you can continue putting in the information.

## Sync Behavior

### Automatic Synchronization

Changes sync automatically between Actions and Timepage in both directions:

**What syncs:**

- [Action Cards](/support/actions/creating-action-cards/) (creation, completion, deletion, rescheduling)
- Task details (title, notes, [schedule](/support/actions/schedule/), [List](/support/actions/lists/))
- Changes made in either app appear in the other

**Sync timing:**

- Usually near-instant, but may take a moment depending on your connection
- Both apps must be signed in with the same Bonobo account
- Requires internet connection

### How It Works

- **Changes in Actions** → Automatically appear in Timepage
- **Changes in Timepage** → Automatically appear in Actions
- **No manual sync needed** – everything happens automatically

You don't have to mark tasks in multiple places – it's all synchronized. Acting on a Card in Actions will also affect the Card found in Timepage, and vice versa.

For more information about syncing, see [Setting up Syncing](/support/account/setting-up-syncing/).

## Platform Support

The Actions ↔ Timepage integration works on:

- **iOS**: Full integration supported (iPhone and iPad)
- **macOS**: Full integration supported

Both apps support cross-device syncing, so your tasks and events appear across all devices when signed in with the same account.

## Benefits of the Integration

By using Actions and Timepage together, you can:

- **Work smarter**: See your full day at a glance with both events and tasks
- **Avoid overbooking**: Know when you have time for tasks vs. when you're busy with meetings
- **Never miss a thing**: Tasks and events in one unified view
- **Seamless workflow**: Create tasks from calendar context or move tasks to calendar when needed
- **Plan effectively**: See your schedule and tasks together to make better decisions about your time
