2. Setting Up the Google Calendar Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. In the workflow page, locate the trigger module and search for ‘Google Calendar.’ Select ‘Google Calendar IC’ from the options provided.

• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Event’.
• Set the trigger to check for new events every 10 minutes.
• Connect your Google Calendar account by selecting ‘Add New Connection’.

After connecting, grant necessary permissions to allow Pabbly Connect to access your Google Calendar. Select the calendar you wish to monitor for new events and click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to ensure the connection is successful.

3. Creating the Focuster Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that the trigger is set, it’s time to create an action in Focuster using Pabbly Connect. In the action module, search for ‘Focuster’ and select it. The action event will be to ‘Create an Action’.

Connect to your Focuster account by selecting ‘Add New Connection’ and entering your API key. You can find this key in the settings of your Focuster account under the Integrations tab. After pasting the API key, click ‘Save’ to establish the connection.

• Map the title of the action using the data captured from the Google Calendar event.
• Include a description for the action, also sourced from the event data.
• Choose the appropriate list in Focuster for the new action.

Once you have mapped all necessary fields, you can click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the action is created successfully in Focuster.

4. Testing the Google Calendar to Focuster Integration

After setting up the action, it’s crucial to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Create a new event in Google Calendar to see if it triggers the action in Focuster. For example, schedule a meeting with a client and include relevant details.

Once you save the event, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the new action has been created in Focuster. You should see the action with the correct title and description reflecting the event details from Google Calendar.

Ensure the due date and any other relevant information are accurately mapped. Verify that the action appears in the selected list in Focuster.

If everything is set up correctly, your workflow will run automatically in the background, and any new events added to Google Calendar will create corresponding actions in Focuster.
