To add new Google Calendar events in Google Sheets, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to create automated workflows between different applications. Begin by signing in to your Pabbly Connect account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 tasks each month.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you will create a new workflow that connects Google Calendar with Google Sheets. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start the integration process.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the workflow creation dialog, name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Add New Google Calendar Events in Google Sheets’. Choose a folder to save your workflow, such as the one named Google Calendar. Once you’ve set this up, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

• Select Google Calendar as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Event’.
• Set Google Sheets as the action application.
• Select ‘Add New Row’ as the action event.

This setup specifies that whenever a new event is created in Google Calendar, the details will be automatically added to Google Sheets. This is where the power of Pabbly Connect truly shines, facilitating seamless integration between the two applications.

3. Connecting Google Calendar to Pabbly Connect

Next, you must establish a connection between Google Calendar and Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button in the trigger setup. Sign in with your Google account and grant the necessary permissions to allow access. Once connected, select the specific calendar you want to monitor for new events.

For this example, choose the calendar named ‘Meeting Slot Timing’. After selecting the calendar, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will check for any existing events in the selected calendar and confirm the connection.

4. Mapping Event Details to Google Sheets

Now that you have established the connection with Google Calendar, it’s time to map the event details to Google Sheets. First, connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect by clicking ‘Connect’ again. Sign in with your Google account to authenticate the connection.

• Select the spreadsheet named ‘Google Calendar’.
• Choose the appropriate sheet within the spreadsheet.
• Map the fields: Event Name, Meeting Agenda, Start Date and Time, and End Date and Time.

Mapping ensures that each time a new event is created, the relevant details will be inserted into the corresponding columns in Google Sheets. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the details are being correctly added.

5. Verifying the Integration

To verify that the integration is working correctly, create a new event in your Google Calendar. For example, set a meeting titled ‘Meeting with Mr. Dummy’ scheduled for Saturday, January 20th, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Add a description like ‘Discuss on stock market’ and save the event.

Return to Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ again. You should see a successful response indicating that the event details have been captured. Finally, open your Google Sheet to confirm that the new event has been added in a new row with all the relevant details.
