Frequently Asked Questions about Google Calendar + Google Contacts 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 Google Contacts

Can I automatically create Google Calendar events from Google Contacts?

Yes, you can set up a workflow to automatically create calendar events when a new contact is added or updated in Google Contacts. This can be configured using a trigger-action setup where the addition of a new contact is the trigger, prompting the creation of an event as the action.

How do I sync birthdays from Google Contacts to Google Calendar?

You can use our platform to automate the process of syncing birthdays. Set up a trigger that identifies when a contact's birthday field is entered or updated in Google Contacts, and then define an action that creates or updates an event in your Google Calendar accordingly.

Is it possible to update contacts based on calendar event changes?

Absolutely! You can establish a workflow where changes to specific events in Google Calendar, such as meeting updates, serve as triggers. These triggers then initiate actions that update corresponding details in your Google Contacts.

Can I get notified if a contact’s information changes via my calendar?

While direct notifications through Google Calendar aren’t possible for contact updates, you can set up email notifications through our system. When there’s an update or change in the contacts' information, such as phone numbers or emails, you will receive an email alert.

How can I prevent duplicate events when integrating contacts and calendars?

To avoid duplicate events, ensure proper filtering conditions are set during the setup of your automated workflow. Establish checks within your triggers and actions to verify whether similar entries already exist before creating new ones.

Are there any limitations when integrating these two services?

There might be limitations on certain triggers and actions depending on specific use cases and scenarios. It's important to review each service's API capabilities and any rate limits that may affect how frequently data can sync between them.

What types of data fields can be synced automatically between contacts and calendar events?

Data fields such as names, email addresses, phone numbers from contacts, and event titles, descriptions or locations in calendar events, can be part of automated workflows. The specifics depend on how these fields are mapped during setup.
