In a matter of minutes and without a single line of code, Zapier allows you to automatically send info between Google Calendar and Slack. Get started with workflows like: Send approaching Google Calendar events to a Slack channel. Or check out the rest of our guided. Using the Slack Google Calendar App The Home tab is where you can review all of today’s or tomorrow’s calendar events by selecting either the Today or Tomorrow button. Select the blue link for any of the upcoming events to open the Google Calendar page with the event or appointment details. This Google Calendar to Slack integration helps keep a team in the loop whenever new events are added to a Google Calendar. You're able to post the event name, location, start and end time and more. Note: This Zapier integration doesn't import already created Google Calendar events into Slack, only new events after you've set it up.
- First, head to the Slack App Directory and search for Google Calendar.
- Once you’ve selected that, click Connect a Calendar to Slack, and then grant the permissions it asks for.
- Next, pick which calendar you want to connect to Slack.
- You can also choose the channel you want to post it to. Posting to public channels is great if you want everyone to see what’s coming up. But if you just want to see your own upcoming calendar events, choose “Privately to @yourname (you)” and then only you will see the calendar updates.
- Now you have some customization options, like what kind of notifications you want. You can get reminded when an event is about to start, but you can also get summaries of upcoming calendar items or get notified when changes are made to your calendar.
- Just hit Save Integration to get started.
