Automatically Create Notes for Google Calendar Events in OneNote

  • by

Let us explore how you can integrate Google Calendar with MS OneNote – following this integration, whenever a new event is added to your Google Calendar, it will automatically create a note in a specific section of your OneNote notebook.
This automation requires a one-time setup for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link Google Calendar with Pabbly Connect to capture the event details, then link Pabbly Connect with Facebook and make a post using the captured data.

Steps to Automatically Create Notes for Google Calendar Events in OneNote

1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a Connection between Google Calendar and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup OneNote as the Action App to Save Events

Step 1:- Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow

A. Sign In / Sign Up

To begin this process, visit Pabbly Connect and create your account by clicking on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button. You can also click on Sign In if you already have an account.

Click on the Pabbly Connect ‘Access Now’ button

B. Create Workflow

To create a new workflow, click the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

Name your workflow, and click on ‘Create’.

Step 2:- Establish a Connection between Google Calendar and Pabbly Connect

We will now look at the steps through which we will establish a link between Google Calendar and Pabbly Connect – This will help us to fetch the newly created events from Google Calendar.

A. Trigger App

Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be Google Calendar.

Choose ‘Google Calendar’ as the Trigger App, select ‘New Event’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.

B. Connect Google Calendar Account

To connect with your Google Calendar account, select ‘Add New Connection’, and click on ‘Connect With Google Calendar’. Also, grant the authorization.

Select the Calendar whose events you want to capture, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, Pabbly Connect will capture the details of the newly created events.

We have established a link between Google Calendar and Pabbly Connect. Pabbly Connect will now automatically capture the events.

Step 3:- Setup OneNote as the Action App to Save Events

Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to save the captured Google Calendar events in a specific section of OneNote. Thus, OneNote will be our Action App.

A. Action App

Choose ‘OneNote’ as the Action App, select ‘Create HTML Note in Section’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.

B. Connect OneNote Account

To connect with your OneNote account, select ‘Add New Connection’, and click on ‘Connect With OneNote’. Also, grant the authorization.

Select the Notebook and Section where you want to note the events.

C. Map Necessary Fields

Now that you have connected your OneNote account, all you need is to map the necessary details from the step above. Mapping ensures our data remains dynamic and changes as per the received responses.

Map the Title from the step above.

Similarly, map the other fields, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, the events will start reflecting in your OneNote account.

Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Google Calendar with OneNote. Each time you add a new event to Google Calendar, it will automatically be noted in your OneNote account.
