Let us explore how you can integrate Google Calendar with Discord and automatically send a Discord channel message upon creating events in Google Calendars.
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 Discord and share the event on the Discord channel of your choice.
Steps to Automatically Send Google Calendar Events to Discord Channel
1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a Connection between Google Calendar and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup Discord as the Action App to Send Channel Messages
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 Discord as the Action App to Send Channel Messages
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to send events to the Discord channel. Therefore, Discord will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Discord’ as the Action App, select ‘Send Channel Message (Markdown)’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Discord Account
To connect with your Discord account, you need a Webhook URL. Follow these steps to generate the Webhook URL, copy the Webhook URL and paste it into its given field – This will establish a connection between Discord and Pabby Connect.
C. Map Necessary Details
Now that you have connected your Discord 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.
Compose a Message by mapping the details from the step above.
Similarly, map the other fields, leaving the unnecessary ones empty, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, the events added to your Google Calendar will be shared on the Discord channel.
Note: Pabbly Connect checks for the data from Google Calendar every 10 minutes, so any newly added event may not be shared immediately.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Google Calendar with Discord. Each time you add a new event to Google Calendar, it will automatically be shared on the Discord Channel of your choice.
You can copy this entire workflow by clicking this link.
