To integrate Google Calendar with MS Excel, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Go to the Pabbly website and navigate to the Pabbly Connect section. Here, you can either sign in if you are an existing user or sign up for a free account if you are new.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your integration. Name your workflow something like ‘Google Calendar to Microsoft Excel’ to clearly identify its purpose.

2. Setting Up the Trigger Event in Pabbly Connect

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

• Select Google Calendar as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as New Event.
• Connect your Google Calendar account to Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, you will need to select the specific calendar you want to monitor for new events. Once you have selected the calendar, save the settings and send a test request to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

3. Formatting Date and Time Using Pabbly Connect

Once you receive the event details from Google Calendar, the next step is to format the date and time correctly using Pabbly Connect. For this, you will use the Date Time Formatter feature. Select this action application and choose the ‘Format Date with Time Zone’ option.

• Choose the start date and time from the previous step.
• Set the format to Date Month Year along with Time.
• Select the appropriate time zone, such as Asia/Kolkata.

After mapping the necessary information, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the date and time are formatted as intended. Repeat this process for the end time to ensure both timestamps are correctly formatted.

4. Adding Data to MS Excel with Pabbly Connect

Now that you have formatted your date and time, the next step is to add this information to MS Excel. In Pabbly Connect, select Microsoft Excel as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Add Row to Worksheet’.

Connect your Microsoft Excel account and select the appropriate workbook that you want to update. Map the event details such as event name, description, start time, and end time to the corresponding columns in your Excel sheet.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

After setting everything up in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test the integration to ensure it works seamlessly. Add a new event to your Google Calendar and check if the details appear in your MS Excel sheet.

Remember that Pabbly Connect checks for new data every 10 minutes, so if you don’t see the update immediately, give it a few moments. Refresh your Excel sheet to confirm that the new event details have been successfully added.
