1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Calendar and Notion Integration

To integrate Google Calendar with Notion, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. Begin by logging into your Pabbly Connect account or creating a new one if you haven’t already. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can start creating your workflow.

After reaching the dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will need to name your workflow. For this integration, you can name it ‘Add Google Calendar Events to Notion Automatically’. After naming, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Connecting Google Calendar with Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will connect Google Calendar to Pabbly Connect as the trigger application. Select Google Calendar from the trigger options and choose the event type as ‘New Event’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture new events scheduled in Google Calendar.

Next, click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish the connection. You will be prompted to sign in to your Google account. Allow access to your Google Calendar. Once connected, you will see a list of your calendars. Choose the calendar where you will be adding events.

• Select the trigger event as ‘New Event’.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and sign in with Google.
• Choose your calendar from the dropdown list.

After selecting your calendar, click on the ‘Save’ button. This will ensure that your Google Calendar is successfully connected to Pabbly Connect.

3. Capturing Event Details from Google Calendar

Once your Google Calendar is connected to Pabbly Connect, it’s time to capture the event details. You can do this by scheduling a new event in your Google Calendar. For example, create an event titled ‘Meeting with Mr Roy’ on August 8th from 9 AM to 9:30 AM.

After saving the event, return to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Test’ button. This action will fetch the most recent event details from your Google Calendar. You will see various details such as the event title, date, time, and description captured in Pabbly Connect.

• Create a new event in Google Calendar.
• Click ‘Test’ in Pabbly Connect to fetch event details.
• Verify that all event details are captured correctly.

Now you have successfully captured event details, which will be used to update Notion.

4. Formatting Event Details for Notion

To ensure that the event details are correctly formatted for Notion, you will use the Date and Time Formatter feature in Pabbly Connect. Click on the plus icon to add a new action step and select the Date and Time Formatter.

In the formatter, map the start date and time from the previous step. Set the required formats and time zones. For example, you can set the format to ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss’. Once configured, click on ‘Save’. This will ensure that the event details are formatted correctly before sending them to Notion.

Select Date and Time Formatter from the action options. Map the start date and time from the Google Calendar step. Choose the appropriate formats and time zones.

After formatting, you can now proceed to send this data to Notion.

5. Sending Event Details to Notion

With the event details formatted, the next step is to connect Notion to Pabbly Connect. Select Notion as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Database Item’. This will allow you to send the event details to your Notion database.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Notion account. Once connected, select the database where you want to store the event details. Map the fields with the data captured from Google Calendar, such as event title, date, and time.

Select Notion as the action application. Choose ‘Create Database Item’ as the action event. Map the necessary fields from Google Calendar to Notion.

After mapping the fields, click ‘Save’ to finish the setup. Your integration is now complete, and every time a new event is scheduled in Google Calendar, it will automatically be added to Notion.
