1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Outlook Calendar Integration

To begin integrating Outlook Calendar with Notion, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to create your account. Existing users can simply sign in.

Upon signing in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can manage your workflows. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option. In the dialog box that appears, name your workflow, for example, ‘Add Microsoft Outlook Events to Notion Database’. Select a folder to organize your workflow if desired, then click ‘Create’.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Select Microsoft Office 365 as your trigger application since Outlook Calendar is part of it. The specific trigger event you need is ‘New Calendar Event’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a new event is created in your Outlook Calendar.

• Select Microsoft Office 365 as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Calendar Event’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’.

After connecting, you will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Microsoft Office 365 account. Click ‘Accept’ when prompted. Once the authorization is successful, you can select the specific calendar you want to monitor for new events. Choose the appropriate calendar and click ‘Save & Send Test Request’ to proceed.

3. Creating the Notion Database Action

Now, you will set up the action in your workflow to add new events to your Notion database using Pabbly Connect. For this, select Notion as your action application. The action event will be ‘Create Database Item’. This action will add the event details into your specified Notion database.

• Choose Notion as the action application.
• Select ‘Create Database Item’ as the action event.
• Connect your Notion account and authorize access.

After establishing the connection, select the database in Notion where you want the event details to be added. Map the fields from the Outlook event response to the respective fields in your Notion database, such as event name, subject, description, and date. This mapping ensures that each new event will automatically populate the correct information in Notion.

4. Testing the Integration Workflow

With the trigger and action set up in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test your integration. Create a new event in your Outlook Calendar to ensure that the workflow functions correctly. For instance, create an event titled ‘Team Meeting’ with a specific date and time, along with a description.

Once the event is created, return to Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save & Send Test Request’. This action will fetch the details of the newly created event. Check your Notion database to confirm that the event details have been automatically added. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the new event reflected in your Notion database.

5. Finalizing the Automation Process

After successfully testing the integration, you can finalize your automation using Pabbly Connect. This setup will ensure that every time you create a new event in your Outlook Calendar, the details will automatically be added to your Notion database without any manual effort.

To verify the automation, create another event in your Outlook Calendar and wait for about 10 minutes. After this time, check your Notion database to see if the new event has been added. This automated integration allows for seamless event management, enhancing productivity and organization.

By following these steps, you can easily automate the process of adding Outlook Calendar events to your Notion database using Pabbly Connect. This integration is not only efficient but also a great way to keep all your event details organized in one place.
