1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To integrate Sendinblue with Google Calendar, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. Log into your Pabbly Connect account and navigate to the dashboard. This platform allows you to automate tasks without requiring coding skills, making it accessible for everyone.

Once on the dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Add Invites in Google Calendar Events from Sendinblue’. After naming, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will set up the trigger for our automation. The trigger is the event that starts the workflow. For this integration, select Sendinblue as your trigger application. Choose the event as ‘New Contact Added in a List’. using Pabbly Connect

• Select Sendinblue as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event: New Contact Added in a List.
• Copy the generated webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After copying the webhook URL, navigate to your Sendinblue dashboard. Under the settings, find the webhooks option and paste the copied URL. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to receive data from Sendinblue whenever a new contact is added.

3. Adding Contacts to Google Calendar Events

Now that the trigger is set, it’s time to add the contact to a Google Calendar event. To do this, you will need to fetch the existing event details from Google Calendar. In Pabbly Connect, add a new action step and select Google Calendar. using Pabbly Connect

Choose the action event as ‘Get Event’. This step retrieves the details of the event where you want to add the new contact. After connecting your Google Calendar account, select the calendar from which you want to fetch the event details.

• Select the action event: Get Event.
• Connect your Google Calendar account.
• Choose the specific event from your calendar.

Once you have fetched the event details, ensure you toggle the simple response button to off. This will allow you to receive comprehensive data about the event, including the current guests.

4. Finalizing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

After retrieving the event details, the next step is to add the new contact as an invitee. To do this, add another action step in Pabbly Connect and select Google Calendar again. This time, choose the action event ‘Add Guest to an Event’. using Pabbly Connect

In this step, map the email address of the new contact from Sendinblue and the existing invitees fetched from the previous step. This ensures that the new contact is added without removing the previous guests from the event.

Make sure to format the email addresses correctly, separating them with commas. Once everything is set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup. You should see a success message confirming that the new contact has been added as an invitee.

5. Testing the Automation Process

With the integration set up, it’s time to test the automation. Go back to your Sendinblue account and add a new contact. This contact will automatically be added as an invitee to the specified Google Calendar event.

After adding the new contact, check your Google Calendar to confirm that the invitee has been added successfully. This automation saves time and ensures that your event guest list is always updated without manual entry.

Once tested, you can rest assured that your Pabbly Connect workflow will operate seamlessly in the background, adding new Sendinblue contacts to your Google Calendar events automatically.
