Connect Airtable and Google Calendar to unlock the power of automation

To set up the integration between Airtable and Google Calendar, you can use our platform to create a 'Zap'. This process involves selecting a specific trigger event in Airtable, such as a new record being added to a base or table. Then, you'll choose an action in Google Calendar, like creating a new calendar event. After authorizing both accounts, the automation will be configured to run every time the selected trigger occurs in Airtable.

You have several triggers available to initiate the flow from Airtable: 'New Record', where any addition of records will prompt an action; 'Updated Record', which activates when there is a change in an existing record; and 'New Form Submission', where completing a form linked to your base pushes data into actions.

Yes, you can update an existing Google Calendar event with our integration. You'll need to use the 'Find Event' action first if you're not already tracking the calendar event ID within your Airtable base, then make changes using the 'Update Event' action based on conditions set in your trigger.

Absolutely, by setting up your trigger in Airtable (for example, when a client's contact details are received), you can use the 'Create Detailed Event' action in Google Calendar. During this step, you'll include invitees by utilizing email fields from your table.

While our platform doesn't directly manage conflicting events during synchronization between Airtable and Google Calendar, you can create custom logic. For instance, employing conditional filters to check existing events before adding or updating entries could help avert overlaps.

Supported actions include creating new events, updating existing ones, finding specific events by various criteria such as name or start time and even deleting events if needed. This level of control allows tailoring what happens automatically once triggers fire off in Airtable.

The sync frequency is determined by how you've configured your Zap setup. Typically, it runs every few minutes as long as the trigger conditions are met. It's designed for continuous monitoring but isn't real-time instantaneous due to necessary processing time.
