Frequently Asked Questions about Google Calendar + Things integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Calendar and Things

How do I connect Google Calendar with Things?

To connect Google Calendar with Things, you'll need to use our platform to set up a Zap. This involves selecting Google Calendar as the trigger app and choosing an event that will start the workflow. Next, choose Things as the action app and define what should happen in Things whenever the trigger event occurs in Google Calendar.

Can I automatically create tasks in Things from Google Calendar events?

Yes, you can automatically create tasks in Things from Google Calendar events by setting up a Zap where a new or updated event in Google Calendar triggers the creation of a new task in Things.

Is it possible to update a task in Things when an event is modified in Google Calendar?

Absolutely. You can set up a workflow where any modification to a specified event in Google Calendar automatically updates the corresponding task details in Things.

What are some common triggers that can be used with this integration?

Some common triggers include 'New Event Created', 'Event Start', or 'Event Updated' from your Google Calendar, which can be set to prompt actions such as creating or updating tasks in Things.

Can I sync events between multiple calendars and Things simultaneously?

While our platform allows you to integrate multiple calendars, each Zap typically handles one calendar at a time. You would need separate Zaps for each calendar you wish to sync with Things.

What are some possible actions I can automate with this integration?

Actions you can automate include creating new tasks for upcoming events, updating existing tasks when event details change, or adding notes from event descriptions directly into your tasks within Things.

How often do the integrations update between Google Calendar and Things?

Integrations typically update every 5-15 minutes, ensuring that your tasks and events remain synchronized without much delay.
