1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To send Google Calendar event reminders on Telegram, you will first need to access Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to automate workflows between different applications seamlessly. Begin by signing in to your existing Pabbly Connect account or create a new one if you are a new user.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can manage your applications. Here, you will find the option to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, which will prompt you to name your workflow. For instance, you might name it ‘Send Google Calendar Event Reminder on Telegram’.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Calendar

In this step, you will set up the trigger application using Pabbly Connect. The trigger application will be Google Calendar, and the event that triggers the workflow will be a new event creation. Select Google Calendar as your trigger application and choose the event type as ‘New Event’.

• Select Google Calendar as the trigger application.
• Choose the event type ‘New Event’.
• Connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect.

After selecting Google Calendar, you will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your calendar data. Once connected, every time a new event is created in Google Calendar, it will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring the Action Step to Send Messages on Telegram

Next, you will configure the action step in Pabbly Connect to send reminders to Telegram. For this, select Telegram as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Send Text Message’. This will allow you to send a message to your Telegram group whenever a new event is created.

To proceed, you will need to connect your Telegram bot to Pabbly Connect. This requires you to create a bot using the BotFather in Telegram and obtain a token. Here are the steps to create the bot:

• Open Telegram and search for BotFather.
• Start a chat and create a new bot by following the prompts.
• Copy the token provided by BotFather and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

Once the bot is connected, you will need to specify the chat ID of the Telegram group where you want to send the reminders. This completes the action configuration in Pabbly Connect.

4. Setting Up Reminder Timing with Pabbly Connect

To ensure that reminders are sent 30 minutes before the event starts, you will need to add a delay step in Pabbly Connect. This is crucial for the automation to work correctly. You will use the ‘Delay by P’ action to set the timing for the reminder.

In this step, you will specify the delay time. Here’s how to configure it:

Select the action event as ‘Add Time Delay’. Map the date and time received from the Google Calendar trigger. Set the delay to minus 30 minutes to send reminders before the event.

After configuring the delay, you will test this step to ensure that it works as expected. The delay ensures that the reminder is sent at the correct time, making your automation effective.

5. Finalizing and Testing the Integration

After setting up the delay, you will finalize the integration by sending a test message to your Telegram group. This is an essential step to ensure that everything is working correctly. In Pabbly Connect, you will click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to see if the reminder is sent properly.

If configured correctly, you should see the reminder message appear in your Telegram group. This confirms that your automation is successfully set up. Remember, every time a new event is created in Google Calendar, a reminder will be sent to your Telegram group 30 minutes before the event starts.

This integration showcases how Pabbly Connect can seamlessly connect Google Calendar and Telegram, automating your event reminders effectively.
