1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To send Google Calendar event reminders on Telegram, the first step is accessing Pabbly Connect. Begin by signing in to your Pabbly Connect account or creating a new one if you are a new user.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can manage your applications. Here’s how you can get started:

• Sign in to your Pabbly Connect account.
• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located on the right-hand side.

This will initiate the workflow creation process, which is crucial for integrating Google Calendar with Telegram through Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you need to create a new workflow to automate the reminder process. Name your workflow something like ‘Send Google Calendar Event Reminder on Telegram’ for clarity.

Next, select a folder to save your workflow. You might want to create a specific folder for Google Calendar and Telegram automations. Once done, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed to the trigger and action setup.

• Choose Google Calendar as the trigger application.
• Set the trigger event to ‘New Event’ to start the workflow whenever a new event is created.

By setting up these parameters, you are preparing Pabbly Connect to listen for new events in Google Calendar, which will trigger the subsequent actions.

3. Setting Up Telegram as an Action Application

With the trigger set, the next step is to configure Telegram as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select Telegram Bot as your action application and choose the action event ‘Send Text Message’.

To connect Telegram with Pabbly Connect, you will need to provide a token generated from the BotFather on Telegram. This token allows Pabbly Connect to send messages to your specified Telegram group.

Open Telegram and search for BotFather. Create a new bot and copy the token provided.

Once you have the token, paste it into Pabbly Connect and save the connection. This setup enables Pabbly Connect to send reminders to your Telegram group whenever a new event is created.

4. Adding Delay and Formatting Event Details

To ensure the reminder is sent 30 minutes prior to the event, you need to add a delay step in Pabbly Connect. This is done by selecting the ‘Delay by Pabbly’ action and configuring it to delay until the formatted event time.

Utilize the ‘Date Time Formatter by P’ to format the event time correctly. You will map the start date from the Google Calendar event response and subtract 30 minutes from it. This ensures that the reminder is timely.

Select the date and time format that matches your requirements. Map the start date and subtract 30 minutes for the reminder.

By setting this up, Pabbly Connect will wait until the specified time before sending the reminder to Telegram, ensuring that users receive notifications on time.

5. Sending the Reminder to Telegram

After configuring the delay and formatting the event details, the final step is to send the reminder message to your Telegram group. In Pabbly Connect, you will need to specify the chat ID of your Telegram group where the reminder should be sent.

Frame the reminder message to include the event title, description, and time. Ensure that the bot has been added to the group and given admin access to send messages. Finally, test the workflow to confirm that the reminder is sent successfully.

Test the workflow to check if the reminder is sent as expected. Verify the message in your Telegram group.

Once confirmed, your integration using Pabbly Connect is complete. Now, every time a new event is created in Google Calendar, a reminder will be sent to your Telegram group 30 minutes prior to the event.
