Create a diary on Google Calendar for each location where you check in.
Automatically create diary entries in Google Calendar for every place you visit.
Trying to remember every place you’ve visited feels impossible—especially if you rely on check-ins scattered across different apps like Foursquare. Manually logging each check-in to your calendar is tedious, leads to missed entries, and means you lose track of business meetings, special meals, or travel highlights. Without a clear diary, you risk forgetting important details and lose the ability to reflect meaningfully on your journeys—costing you time, missed opportunities, and a fragmented memory bank.
This automation from Botize scans your Foursquare account every hour, grabs your latest check-ins, and instantly creates an event for each place in your Google Calendar, complete with notes and location links. Without lifting a finger, your digital diary stays up to date, searchable, and organized over time. You can customize how often it checks (every hour or at your pace), select which calendar it populates, and filter with ease—transforming a scattered travel history into a beautiful, actionable timeline you always control.
Ready to make every check-in count? Follow the simple step-by-step to activate this formula with Botize—or, if you prefer, use the instant setup link and start building your living travel diary today. Your digital memory is just a few clicks away!
