2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, you will see the dashboard. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ to initiate your automation process. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Create Google Calendar Events from New Notion Database Items’.

Next, you will set up your trigger application. Click on ‘Notion’ as your trigger application, and select the event type as ‘New Database Item’. This action will trigger every time a new item is added to your Notion database, allowing you to automate the event creation process in Google Calendar.

• Select ‘Notion’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Database Item’ as the trigger event.
• Click ‘Connect’ to link your Notion account.

After connecting, specify the database ID from your Notion account. This ID corresponds to the specific page where your database items are stored, ensuring that Pabbly Connect can access the correct data.

3. Setting Up Google Calendar in Pabbly Connect

With your Notion trigger configured, the next step is to set up the action application, which will be Google Calendar. In Pabbly Connect, select ‘Google Calendar’ as your action application and choose ‘Create Event’ as the action event.

Click ‘Connect’ to link your Google Calendar account. You will need to allow permissions for Pabbly Connect to access your calendar. Once connected, you will start mapping the fields from your Notion database to the Google Calendar event fields.

• Map the event title to the seminar title from Notion.
• Set the event description to include details from your Notion database.
• Specify the start and end times for the event.

This mapping ensures that every new database item in Notion corresponds to a new event in Google Calendar, making your workflow efficient and automated through Pabbly Connect.

4. Formatting Date and Time for Google Calendar Events

To ensure the date and time are correctly formatted for Google Calendar, you will use the DateTime Formatter feature in Pabbly Connect. Add a new action step and select ‘DateTime Formatter’ as the application.

In this step, you will need to map the start date and time from your Notion database, specifying the original format and the desired format for Google Calendar. This conversion is crucial for accurate event creation.

Map the start date and time from Notion. Specify the original format and the target format for Google Calendar. Repeat this process for the end date and time.

After formatting, you will map these converted times into your Google Calendar event to ensure accuracy, allowing Pabbly Connect to handle time zone differences seamlessly.

5. Testing and Finalizing the Integration

After mapping all necessary fields, it’s time to test your integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect to create a test event in Google Calendar. Confirm that the event is created with the correct details based on the last item added in your Notion database.

Check your Google Calendar to ensure that the event appears as expected. If everything looks good, your integration is complete! Remember, the trigger checks for new items every 8 hours, so new events will be created automatically as new data is added to Notion.

With this setup, you can streamline your workflow and enhance productivity by automating the process of creating Google Calendar events from Notion database items, all thanks to Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can effortlessly create Google Calendar events from new Notion database items. This integration automates your scheduling, saving you time and ensuring accuracy in event management.
