1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Microsoft Outlook Calendar with Coda Docs, you need to access Pabbly Connect. First, open your web browser and navigate to Pabbly’s official site. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for free, which takes just a couple of minutes.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create and manage workflows to automate various tasks. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the setup for your integration.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The first step in your workflow is to set up a trigger using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Microsoft Office 365’ as your trigger application. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Calendar Event’ to capture new events from your Outlook Calendar.

• Select ‘Microsoft Office 365’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Calendar Event’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Microsoft Office 365 account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and following the prompts.

After connecting, choose the specific calendar from which you want to capture events. This setup ensures that every new event created in your Outlook Calendar is detected by Pabbly Connect.

3. Creating an Event in Microsoft Outlook

Now that your trigger is set, the next step is to create an event in Microsoft Outlook. Go to your Outlook Calendar and click on ‘New Event’. Fill in the event details such as title, description, date, and time.

• Title: New Campaign
• Description: This campaign is for the new science experiment.
• Start Date: 30th December 2023
• End Date: 30th December 2023
• Time: 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM

After saving the event, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will fetch the newly created event details for the next step in your integration.

4. Formatting Date and Time for Coda Docs

Once you have the event details, the next step is to format the date and time correctly for Coda Docs. Use the Pabbly Connect date and time formatter tool to convert the UTC time to your desired time zone.

Select ‘Format Date with Time Zone’ as your action event. Map the date and time from the previous step. Set the time zone to ‘Asia/Kolkata’.

After configuring the formatter, test the action to ensure that the date and time are formatted correctly. This step is crucial for the next action where you will add the formatted details to Coda Docs using Pabbly Connect.

5. Adding a New Row to Coda Docs

The final step is to add a new row in Coda Docs with the event details. In Pabbly Connect, select ‘Coda’ as your action application and choose ‘Create Row’ as the action event.

Connect your Coda account by entering the API token. Select the document and table where you want to add the new row. Map the title, description, and formatted date from the previous steps.

After mapping the required fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action should add a new row in your specified Coda Docs table, confirming that the integration is successful. Now, every time you create a new event in Outlook, it will automatically add a new row in Coda Docs through Pabbly Connect.
