Frequently Asked Questions about Planning Center + Google Calendar integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Planning Center and Google Calendar
How do I connect Planning Center to Google Calendar?
To connect Planning Center with Google Calendar, you can set up a Zap that triggers an event in Google Calendar when a new event is created or updated in Planning Center. Start by selecting Planning Center as the trigger app and choose the specific event you want to use as a trigger.
Can I automatically update my Google Calendar with events from Planning Center?
Yes, by creating a Zap, you can automatically add or update events in your Google Calendar whenever there are new events or changes made in Planning Center. Set the trigger to monitor for new or updated events in Planning Center and the action to create or modify an event in Google Calendar.
Is it possible to sync event details from Planning Center to Google Calendar?
Absolutely. You can sync event details such as the name, date, time, and location from Planning Center to Google Calendar. Use specific triggers like 'New Event' in Planning Center and actions like 'Create Detailed Event' in Google Calendar for synchronization.
What types of changes in Planning Center can trigger updates in my Google Calendar?
You can trigger updates in your Google Calendar based on various changes like creation of new events, updates to existing events, or even cancellations within Planning Center. Choose these triggers carefully depending on what information you need reflected on your calendar.
Do I need any special permissions to integrate these two apps?
To integrate, ensure that you have admin access or appropriate permissions for both your Planning Center account and Google account so that we can create and modify entries accordingly during the Zap setup.
How often does the integration between Planning Center and Google Calendar sync data?
Our systems check for new data every few minutes. However, the exact frequency may depend on your specific plan settings. For near real-time updates, make sure the Zaps are set up correctly with precise triggers and actions.
What happens if an event is deleted in Planning Center? Will it be removed from my Google Calendar too?
If you've configured your Zap with a 'Delete Event' action linked to changes in Planning Center such as an event cancellation or deletion, then those events will be removed from your Google Calendar automatically as well.
