How do I connect Google Calendar with Things?

To connect Google Calendar with Things, you'll need to use our platform to set up a Zap. This involves selecting Google Calendar as the trigger app and choosing an event that will start the workflow. Next, choose Things as the action app and define what should happen in Things whenever the trigger event occurs in Google Calendar.
