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

To sync your Google Calendar events with Notion, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform serves as the central automation tool that facilitates the connection between Google Calendar and Notion.

Begin by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect. Once registered, log in to access the dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the process. Name your workflow, such as ‘Sync Google Calendar with Notion’, and click ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Configuring the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger for the workflow in Pabbly Connect. This trigger will determine when the automation runs. Select the ‘Scheduler’ feature as the trigger application.

• Choose how often you want the workflow to run, selecting weekly.
• Select the specific day of the week, for example, Monday.
• Set the time for the workflow to execute.

After setting the schedule, proceed to connect the ‘Date Time Format’ feature in Pabbly Connect. This step will help fetch the current date in the desired format, which is essential for retrieving events from Google Calendar.

3. Fetching Google Calendar Events Using Pabbly Connect

After configuring the trigger, the next step is to fetch events from Google Calendar. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Calendar as the action application and choose the ‘Get All Events’ action event.

Connect your Google Calendar account by selecting ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts to authorize access. Once connected, select the specific calendar from which you want to retrieve events. Ensure that the ‘Simple Response’ button is toggled off to get detailed data.

• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch the events.
• You will receive an array of data containing your calendar events.

This data will be utilized in the next steps to create items in Notion based on the upcoming events fetched from Google Calendar.

4. Processing Events with Pabbly Connect’s Iterator Feature

Once you have fetched the events, the next step is to process each event individually. In Pabbly Connect, add the ‘Iterator’ feature to your workflow. This feature will help separate the array of events into individual items.

Choose the array from the previous step where you fetched Google Calendar events. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the iterator is working correctly. This step will allow you to process one event at a time, which is crucial for creating corresponding items in Notion.

The iterator will show details of the first event. Continue through the events until all have been processed.

After processing the events, you will be ready to format the date and set up filters to ensure only upcoming events are sent to Notion.

5. Creating Items in Notion with Pabbly Connect

Finally, after processing the events, it’s time to create items in Notion using Pabbly Connect. Select Notion as your action application and choose the ‘Create Database Item’ action event.

Connect your Notion account by selecting ‘Add New Connection’ and authorize access. Choose the database where you want to create the items. Map the relevant fields from the iterator, such as the event start date, status, and description.

Map the start date time label for the event. Include the summary of the event as the task description.

Once all fields are mapped, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the item in Notion. This step confirms that your integration is successful, and you will see the new item in your Notion database.
