How to Use Google Calendar Instant Triggers in Pabbly Connect

Watch Step By Step Video Tutorial Below

1. Setting Up Google Calendar Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To start the integration process, we will focus on Pabbly Connect to set up a Google Calendar trigger. First, navigate to the workflow page from your Pabbly dashboard. Here, you will create a new workflow that will initiate the automation process.

Click on the “Add Trigger” button, then search for Google Calendar. Select it and choose the trigger event, such as “Calendar Created”. Once selected, click on “Connect” to link your Google account. If you already have a connection, simply save it. Otherwise, add a new connection by signing in with your Google account and granting permissions.

2. Capturing Calendar Creation Response

After successfully connecting Google Calendar, the next step involves capturing the response when a new calendar is created. Click on “Save and Send Test Request” to initiate the connection. You will receive a default response, indicating that the connection is established.

• Wait for the default response to show that Google Calendar is synced.
• Recapture the webhook response to get real-time data.
• Create a new calendar in your Google Calendar app.

After creating the new calendar, Pabbly Connect will capture the specific details such as calendar title and description. This information will be crucial for the next steps in your automation workflow.

3. Sending Slack Notifications for Calendar Events

Once you’ve captured the calendar creation response, the next step is to send notifications to Slack. In your workflow, click on “Add New Action Step” and search for Slack. Select the action event as “Send Channel Message” and click on “Connect”.

Choose the appropriate Slack channel where you want to send notifications. Map the details from the Google Calendar response, such as the calendar ID, title, and description. This ensures that every time a new calendar is created, a message will be sent to your selected Slack channel.

4. Testing the Integration for Accuracy

After setting up the Slack action, it’s crucial to test the integration to ensure everything functions correctly. Create a new calendar in your Google Calendar and check if the notification appears in Slack.

Upon successful creation of the calendar, you should see a message in your Slack channel indicating that the calendar has been created. This confirms that your Pabbly Connect workflow is working as intended.

5. Finalizing Your Workflow and Additional Automations

Now that you have successfully integrated Google Calendar with Slack, consider adding more automation steps. You can set up additional triggers for calendar updates or deletions, which will also send notifications to Slack.

To finalize your workflow, review all steps and ensure that responses are correctly mapped. This will allow for seamless automation of your tasks between Google Calendar and Slack using Pabbly Connect.
