1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To post new Outlook calendar events to Telegram, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and enjoy 100 free tasks every month.

After signing in, you will see the Pabbly Connect dashboard. From here, you can create a new workflow that will facilitate the integration between Microsoft Office 365 (Outlook) and Telegram using Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. A dialog box will appear, prompting you to name your workflow. Name it something like ‘Post New Outlook Calendar Events to Telegram’.

• Select a folder from the dropdown where you want to save this workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow.

Your workflow will now be created, and you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The trigger will be set to Microsoft Office 365, which represents your Outlook calendar events.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step is to set up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect. Click on the arrow in the Trigger section and select Microsoft Office 365 as your trigger application. The event you want to trigger is ‘New Calendar Event’. This means that every time a new event is created in your Outlook calendar, it will trigger the workflow.

After selecting the trigger application and event, click on ‘Connect’. A new window will appear where you can add a new connection to Microsoft Office 365. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and allow the necessary permissions.

4. Setting Up the Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that the trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the Action step in Pabbly Connect. Choose Telegram as your action application and select the action event as ‘Send a Text or Reply’. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with Telegram.

• You will need a Telegram bot token, which you can obtain by creating a bot using BotFather on Telegram.
• Once you have the token, paste it into the connection window and click ‘Save’.

After saving, ensure that your bot is active and added to the group where you want to post notifications. You will need the chat ID of the group to send messages.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

With both the Trigger and Action set up in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Create a new event in your Outlook calendar with all necessary details like title, description, and time. After saving the event, go back to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the event details.

Once the test request is sent, check your Telegram group to see if the notification has been posted. You should receive a message with the event details, confirming that the integration works successfully. This process ensures that every new event in your Outlook calendar gets automatically posted to your Telegram group.
