To start integrating Google Calendar with OneNote, access Pabbly Connect by visiting the official website. Once there, sign in to your existing account or create a new one for free, which allows you to use 100 tasks monthly. After logging in, you will see the Pabbly dashboard displaying various applications.

From the dashboard, select Pabbly Connect by clicking on the ‘Access Now’ button. This action will direct you to the Pabbly Connect interface, where you can create workflows that automate processes between different applications.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To automate note creation in OneNote from Google Calendar events, you first need to create a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name; enter ‘Create OneNote Notes from Google Calendar Event’.

• Choose a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Google Calendar Automations’.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.

After the workflow is created, you will see two sections labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger will initiate the workflow when a new event is created in Google Calendar, while the action will create a note in OneNote.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger for your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the arrow in the trigger section and select ‘Google Calendar’ as the trigger application. Then, choose ‘New Event’ as the trigger event. This setup ensures that the workflow responds whenever a new event is created in your Google Calendar.

Next, you will need to connect your Google Calendar account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’ and then on ‘Add New Connection’. Sign in with your Google account and grant the necessary permissions. Once connected, select the specific calendar you want to monitor for new events.

4. Creating Notes in OneNote Using Pabbly Connect

Now that the trigger is set up, the next step is to define the action that will occur in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘OneNote’ as the action application and choose ‘Create HTML Note’ as the action event. After clicking on ‘Connect’, authorize OneNote by clicking on ‘Accept’ when prompted.

• Map the title of the note to the event title from Google Calendar.
• Add the event description as the content of the note using HTML formatting.
• Map the date and time of the event to the respective fields in OneNote.

Once all details are mapped, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the integration works correctly. If successful, you will receive a confirmation response indicating that the note has been created in your OneNote account.

5. Verifying the Integration Between Google Calendar and OneNote

The final step is to ensure that the integration between Google Calendar and OneNote via Pabbly Connect is functioning as expected. Open your OneNote account and refresh the page to see if the newly created note appears. The note should reflect the details of the event you created in Google Calendar, including the title, date, and description.

If the note appears correctly, this confirms that the automation is successful. You can now manage your events in Google Calendar and automatically create corresponding notes in OneNote, streamlining your workflow significantly.
