Once logged in, you will see the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on the button labeled ‘Access Now’ under Pabbly Connect to begin the automation process. This is where you will create a workflow that connects Microsoft Excel and Google Calendar through Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To set up your integration, you need to create a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of your dashboard. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow; name it ‘Create Google Calendar Event from Microsoft Excel’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Google Calendars Automations’.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

After creating the workflow, you will see two windows labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger specifies when the automation starts, and the action is the response to that trigger. This setup is crucial for the integration process using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Trigger from Microsoft Excel

The next step is to set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Click on the arrow in the trigger section and select Microsoft Excel as the trigger application. Choose the event ‘New Row in Worksheet’ to capture new entries in your Excel sheet.

Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection between Microsoft Excel and Pabbly Connect. A new window will appear asking for permission; click on ‘Add New Connection’ and then ‘Connect with Microsoft Excel’. After authorizing, select the workbook and worksheet you want to monitor for new events.

• Select the workbook named ‘Event Details’.
• Choose ‘Sheet1’ as the worksheet.
• After entering the details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the setup.

Once you click ‘Save and Send Test Request’, Pabbly Connect will capture the latest event details entered in your Excel worksheet, confirming that your trigger is correctly set up.

4. Setting Up the Action to Create Google Calendar Event

Now that the trigger is set, it’s time to configure the action step to create a Google Calendar event. Select Google Calendar as the action application and choose the event ‘Create an Event’. Click on ‘Connect’ to link Google Calendar with Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, you will need to select the calendar where you want to create the events. Choose the calendar named ‘Events’. Proceed to map the fields for the event creation, such as title, description, start date, and time.

Map the title from the previous step, using the data captured from Microsoft Excel. Map the description and set the start date and time in UTC format. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the event creation.

Once you complete these steps, Pabbly Connect will create the event in your Google Calendar based on the details from your Excel worksheet, automating the entire process.

5. Finalizing the Automation Process

With the action step configured, you can finalize your automation process. After clicking ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in the Google Calendar setup, check your Google Calendar for the newly created event. Refresh the page to see the event listed.

The event should reflect the details you entered in your Microsoft Excel worksheet, confirming that the integration through Pabbly Connect was successful. This automation allows you to manage your events efficiently without manual entry.

In summary, by using Pabbly Connect to integrate Microsoft Excel with Google Calendar, you can streamline your event management process and ensure that your calendar is always up-to-date with the latest information from your Excel sheets.
