1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Google Chat with Pabbly Connect, first, access the Pabbly Connect dashboard. You can sign up or log in if you’re an existing user. This process is quick and straightforward, taking less than two minutes.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard. On the right side, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This will open a dialog box where you can name your workflow. For this integration, name it ‘Send Google Chat Notification for Two Calendar Booking’ and click on ‘Create’.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger for your workflow in Pabbly Connect. The trigger application will be Two Calendar, which is used for scheduling appointments. Select ‘Two Calendar’ as your trigger application.

• Choose ‘Booking Created’ as the trigger event.
• This trigger will activate whenever a new booking is created.
• Pabbly Connect captures this event in real-time, ensuring immediate action.

After selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect Two Calendar with Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring Two Calendar to Send Data to Pabbly Connect

Now, navigate to your Two Calendar account. Go to the calendar settings and find the option for webhooks. Here, you will add a new webhook using the URL copied earlier from Pabbly Connect.

To set up the webhook:

• Click on ‘Add Webhook’ and paste the copied URL.
• Select the action as ‘Create Booking’ and save the settings.

Once saved, the webhook will be ready to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new booking is created, thus completing the trigger setup.

4. Testing the Integration in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook in Two Calendar, it’s essential to test the integration. To do this, create a mock booking in Two Calendar. For instance, schedule an event for a specific date and time.

Once the booking is created, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the webhook has received the data. You should see details like booking date, time, and user information. This confirms that the trigger is functioning correctly.

If the data appears correctly, proceed to the next step where you format the date and time using the Date Time Formatter feature in Pabbly Connect. This step ensures that the data is in the desired format before sending it to Google Chat.

5. Sending Notifications to Google Chat Using Pabbly Connect

The final step is to send a notification to Google Chat. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Chat as your action application. Choose the action event as ‘Create Message’.

To configure this, you will need the chat webhook URL from your Google Chat workspace. After connecting, paste the webhook URL into Pabbly Connect and compose your message, including details from the booking.

Map the event name, booking number, and date and time into the message. You can also include registrant details like name and contact information.

Once your message is configured, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the message is delivered to your Google Chat. If successful, your integration is complete, and you will receive notifications for new bookings instantly.

Conclusion

Integrating Google Chat with Pabbly Connect allows for seamless notifications for new bookings. By following these steps, you can automate your workflow and keep your team informed in real-time.
