Let us explore how you can integrate Google Calendar with Facebook – following this integration, whenever a new event is added to your Google Calendar, it will automatically be posted to your Facebook page.
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.

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.

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’.

Step 3:- Setup Facebook Pages as the Action App to Display Events
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to post the captured event details on Facebook. Thus, Facebook Pages will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Facebook Pages’ as your Action App, select ‘Create Page Post’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Facebook Account

Map the Message to be posted from the step above, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, the event details will be posted on your Facebook Page.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Google Calendar with Facebook. Each time you add a new event to Google Calendar, it will automatically be shared on the Facebook Page of your choice.
