Frequently Asked Questions about Rooster + Google Calendar integrations

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

How can I integrate Rooster with Google Calendar?

To integrate Rooster with Google Calendar, you need to set up a Zap using our platform. First, you'll select Rooster as your trigger app and choose a trigger event, such as 'New Event Created'. Then, you'll connect your Rooster account. For the action app, select Google Calendar and choose 'Create Detailed Event' as the action step to sync events into your calendar.

Can I update a Google Calendar event when an appointment is rescheduled in Rooster?

Yes, you can update a Google Calendar event when an appointment is rescheduled in Rooster by using the 'Event Rescheduled' trigger from Rooster. You will set this up so that once this trigger is activated, it updates the corresponding event in Google Calendar with the 'Update Event' action.

Is it possible to add attendees in Google Calendar from a list created in Rooster?

Absolutely! Set up your Zap by using the 'New List Created' trigger from Rooster. Then, use our platform to update or create an event in Google Calendar through actions like 'Create Detailed Event', where you can specify attendees directly.

What happens if there are changes made directly within Google Calendar? Will they sync back to Rooster?

Currently, changes made directly within Google Calendar do not automatically sync back to Rooster. Our integration primarily flows information from Rooster to Google Calendar via specific triggers and actions defined during setup.

How do I ensure every new contact added in Rooster creates an event on my Google Calendar?

To ensure every new contact creates a calendar event, set up a zap starting with the ‘New Contact’ trigger from your connected Rooster account and link it to the ‘Create Event’ action on your linked Google Calendar account.

Can reminders for appointments scheduled in Rooster be shown on my Google Calendar?

Yes, reminders for appointments scheduled through Rooster can appear on your Google Calendar by setting them up through our zap setup. Use the ‘Appointment Scheduled’ trigger from Rooster and link it with ‘Create Detailed Event’ or ‘Quick Add Event’ actions specifying necessary reminder notifications.

What should I do if my integration between Rooster and Google Calendar stops working suddenly?

If there’s an issue with your integration, check both applications for any changes that might have disrupted connectivity. Ensure all authentication details are correct and try re-running or testing your zap within our platform settings.
