1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin automating the creation of training sessions in GoToTraining from Google Calendar, first, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website, where you can sign up for free or log in if you already have an account. Signing up grants you free tasks each month, which is beneficial for your automation needs.

Once logged in, locate the ‘Create Workflow’ button at the top right corner of the dashboard. Click it to initiate the process of connecting Google Calendar with GoToTraining through Pabbly Connect. You’ll be prompted to name your workflow, so enter something descriptive like ‘Google Calendar to GoToTraining’ to keep track of your automation.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Calendar as your trigger application and choose the event type as ‘New Event’. This means every time a new event is created in Google Calendar, it will trigger the automation.

• Choose Google Calendar as the trigger application.
• Select ‘New Event’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Google account to allow access.

After connecting your Google account, you will see a list of your calendars. Select the calendar where you want to create events from. This sets up the necessary link between Google Calendar and Pabbly Connect to capture event details.

3. Creating a Test Event in Google Calendar

Next, you need to create a test event in Google Calendar to ensure that Pabbly Connect can capture the event details. Open Google Calendar and create a new event, entering details such as the event title and time. For example, you might create an event titled ‘Brand Building’ scheduled from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

After saving the event, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will allow Pabbly Connect to fetch the details of the newly created event. You should see the event summary, creator’s email, and timing information captured successfully.

4. Setting Up the Action in GoToTraining

Now that you have successfully set up the trigger, it’s time to define the action in Pabbly Connect. Select GoToTraining as the action application and choose ‘Create Training’ as the action event. This means that whenever a new event is created in Google Calendar, a corresponding training session will be created in GoToTraining.

• Select GoToTraining as the action application.
• Choose ‘Create Training’ as the action event.
• Connect your GoToTraining account.

During this setup, you will need to map the event details from Google Calendar to GoToTraining. For example, map the event title to the training title, and ensure the start and end dates are formatted correctly. This allows Pabbly Connect to automatically create training sessions based on your Google Calendar events.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

The final step is to test and verify that the integration works as intended. After mapping all required fields in Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ once more. This action will send the mapped data to GoToTraining and attempt to create the training session.

Once the request is successful, check your GoToTraining account to confirm that the training session has been created with the correct details. You should see the training session named ‘Brand Building’ in your upcoming trainings. This verifies that you have successfully integrated Google Calendar with GoToTraining using Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we detailed how to automate the creation of training sessions in GoToTraining from Google Calendar using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can ensure that every new event in Google Calendar automatically creates a training session, streamlining your workflow and saving time.
