Frequently Asked Questions about Google Calendar + SMS by Zapier integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Calendar and SMS by Zapier

Can I use Zapier to send SMS notifications for upcoming Google Calendar events?

Absolutely! You can set up a Zap where the trigger is a Google Calendar event starting soon, and the action is sending an SMS notification through Zapier. This way, you'll always be reminded of your upcoming events directly via SMS.

What triggers are available for Google Calendar in Zapier?

We offer several triggers for Google Calendar, including 'Event Start', 'New Event', and 'Event Updated'. These triggers allow you to perform actions whenever these changes occur in your calendar.

How do I ensure that only specific Google Calendar events trigger an SMS?

You can set up filters in your Zap. For example, you can specify that only events with certain titles or those happening on specific days should trigger an SMS action. This ensures that only relevant notifications are sent.

Is it possible to customize the content of the SMS sent by Zapier?

Yes, you can fully customize the content of your SMS messages in our platform. You'll be able to include key details from your calendar event such as event name, date, time, and location in your SMS template when setting up the action.

What happens if a Google Calendar event is canceled or changed? Will the SMS update automatically?

If you've set up a Zap with triggers like 'Event Updated' or 'Event Canceled', we will automatically send updates via SMS when changes occur to your existing calendar events. Keeping attendees informed becomes seamless.

Can I send recurring reminders through SMS using this integration?

Certainly! By using a combination of our triggering options within Google Calendar's recurring events and setting an appropriate schedule for the SMS action, you can send periodic reminders effortlessly.

I want multiple people to receive the same calendar event notification via SMS. Is that possible?

Yes, when configuring the action step in your Zap, you can add multiple phone numbers as recipients for each SMS notification. This feature enables everyone involved with the event to receive timely reminders simultaneously.
