2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a workflow that connects Google Calendar with Discord using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and give your workflow a name, such as ‘Send Google Calendar Event to Discord’.

Next, you will set up the trigger and action. Select Google Calendar as the trigger application and choose the event type that will initiate the workflow. This setup ensures that every time an event is created in Google Calendar, the details will be sent to Discord.

• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select Google Calendar as the trigger application.

Once you have configured the trigger, you will need to connect your Google Calendar account to Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button to authenticate your Google account.

3. Set Up Google Calendar Connection

After connecting your Google account, you will be prompted to select which calendar to monitor for new events. Choose the appropriate calendar from the list. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to fetch event details automatically whenever a new event is created.

Create a test event in your Google Calendar to ensure that Pabbly Connect captures the details correctly. After creating the event, return to the Pabbly Connect dashboard and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the event details are captured.

• Select the calendar to monitor.
• Create a test event in Google Calendar.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect.

If the event details are captured successfully, you will see a confirmation message in Pabbly Connect, indicating that the connection is working as intended.

4. Connect Discord to Pabbly Connect

Now that Google Calendar is connected, it’s time to set up the action to send messages to Discord. Select Discord as the action application in Pabbly Connect. You will need to authenticate your Discord account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button.

After connecting, you will need to provide the webhook URL for the Discord channel where you want the event announcements to be sent. To get the webhook URL, go to your Discord channel settings, navigate to ‘Integrations,’ and create a new webhook. Copy the URL and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

Select Discord as the action application. Authenticate your Discord account. Create a webhook in Discord and copy the URL.

Once you have pasted the webhook URL into Pabbly Connect, you can set up the message format that will be sent to your Discord channel whenever a new event is created in Google Calendar.

5. Finalize and Test Your Integration

In the final step, compose the message that will be sent to your Discord channel. You can include dynamic fields from the Google Calendar event, such as the event name, date, time, and description. This is done by mapping the fields from the previous step directly into your message template in Pabbly Connect.

After composing your message, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the integration. If everything is set up correctly, you will see the announcement in your Discord channel shortly after the test event is created in Google Calendar.

Compose your message using dynamic fields. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test. Check your Discord channel for the announcement.

Once confirmed that the message has been sent successfully, your automation is complete! You can now relax as Pabbly Connect will handle sending event details to Discord automatically for any future Google Calendar events.
