So, as you can see, no matter what you want to do with your to-do list, Zapier can help you automate it in so many ways that you should have no trouble getting more out of your business.
Now in addition to creating a new Google Calendar event, your Automation will store the unique ID of the calendar event item as a field value for the relevant Airtable record. For example's sake, we'll call this field "Calendar Event ID." Click the blue plus symbol to select the Event ID from the Create Google Calendar data step. Under "Fields" select Choose field and pick a single line text field that you’ll use to store Google Calendar Event IDs.In the Field ID box, click the blue plus symbol to select the trigger record’s Record ID token. In the update record action, select the same table that is being used in the trigger step.Add a new "Update record" action after the "Create Google Calendar" action.In the automation you already have set up for creating a Google calendar event: On Airtable’s side, the tokens are stored in databases that are encrypted at rest.įor more information on Google Drive scopes, check out Google's documentation here. The tokens are transmitted between Airtable and Google’s servers securely via HTTPS. We request the minimum read/write scopes necessary to make the Airtable Sync integration work. The sync operation will retrieve all events in the calendar within the date range, and automatically create a calendar view to display the events.
Once you’ve selected your desired settings, click the “Create table” button. By default, deleted events will be removed. Whether or not deleted events in the selected calendar should be removed from the Airtable table.Right now, the options are manual syncing and automatic syncing which happens around every 5 minutes. Before creating your synced table, there are Settings options that allow you to choose how often you want to sync, and how to handle records deleted or hidden in the source (in this case, Google Calendar).
