Let’s look at how you can integrate Google Calendar with MS Excel and automatically save the newly created Google Calendar event details in your MS Excel worksheet.
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 MS Excel and save the captured event details in a new row of your MS Excel worksheet.
