1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Calendar and Notion Integration

To begin updating Google Calendar event details in Notion, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. Access the Pabbly Connect dashboard by signing up for a free account using the link provided in the description. This process is quick and takes just a couple of minutes.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for instance, ‘Google Calendar to Notion’, and click on ‘Create’. This action opens a new workflow where you will configure the trigger and action to facilitate the integration.

2. Configuring the Google Calendar Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect to monitor updates in Google Calendar. In the trigger window, select ‘Google Calendar’ from the app options. For the trigger event, choose ‘Event Updated Beta’. This selection ensures that any updates made to events in Google Calendar will be captured.

After selecting the trigger event, click on ‘Connect’ and choose ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to sign in with your Google account. Once authenticated, select the specific calendar you want to monitor for updates. After saving, click on the ‘Test Request’ button to fetch the latest event details.

• Select ‘Google Calendar’ as the app.
• Choose ‘Event Updated Beta’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Google account and select the calendar.

This step captures the updated event details, which will be used in the subsequent actions to update Notion.

3. Setting Up Notion Action in Pabbly Connect

With the Google Calendar trigger configured, the next step is to set up the action that updates Notion. In the action window of Pabbly Connect, search for ‘Notion’ and select it. For the action event, choose ‘Search Page’. This action allows Pabbly Connect to find the specific page in your Notion database that contains the event details.

Connect your Notion account by clicking ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. Allow access to all pages in your Notion account. After the connection is established, you will need to specify the search keyword, which is the event ID captured from Google Calendar. This ID remains constant for the event, ensuring accurate updates.

• Choose ‘Notion’ as the app for the action.
• Select ‘Search Page’ as the action event.
• Map the event ID as the search keyword.

After setting up the search action, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the correct page details are retrieved from Notion.

4. Updating the Notion Page with Event Details

Once you have successfully retrieved the Notion page details, it’s time to update the page with the new event information from Google Calendar. In the action step of Pabbly Connect, add another action by selecting ‘Notion’ again and this time choose ‘Update Page’ as the action event. This ensures that the details of the updated event will replace the old information in Notion.

When prompted, select the existing connection to your Notion account. Choose the database where your event details are stored and map the page ID obtained from the previous step. This mapping is crucial as it tells Pabbly Connect which page to update with the new event details.

Select ‘Update Page’ as the action event. Map the page ID from the search step. Fill in the updated event details such as description and timing.

After mapping all the required fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the update. This action will reflect the changes in your Notion database, ensuring everything is synchronized with Google Calendar.

5. Testing Your Automation with Pabbly Connect

Now that the integration is set up, it’s essential to test the automation to ensure it works as intended. In Pabbly Connect, make changes to an event in Google Calendar, such as updating the event name or time. After saving the changes, wait a few moments to allow Pabbly Connect to sync the updates with Notion.

Check your Notion database to confirm that the updated event details appear correctly. You should see the new event name, description, and timing reflecting the changes made in Google Calendar. This step verifies that your automation is functioning correctly and that Pabbly Connect successfully bridges the two applications.

By following these steps, you can automate the process of keeping your Notion database updated with Google Calendar events, saving you time and ensuring accuracy.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to integrate Google Calendar with Notion allows for seamless updates of event details. This automation ensures that any changes made in Google Calendar are reflected in Notion without manual intervention, enhancing productivity and organization.
