To start the integration, you'll first need accounts on both platforms. Then, navigate to our integration setup page where you will select Google Calendar and Workflowy as your trigger and action apps. Follow the prompts to sign in to both services and authorize the connection.
What triggers can I use from Google Calendar for this integration?
You can set up triggers based on new events added, modifications to existing events, or when an event is about to start. Select a trigger that aligns with your workflow requirements.
Can I create Workflowy tasks from Google Calendar events automatically?
Yes, by choosing 'New Event' as a trigger in your Google Calendar app, you can automatically create a corresponding task in Workflowy, complete with event details like date and time.
Can changes in Workflowy affect my Google Calendar entries?
Currently, our integration focuses on capturing changes from Google Calendar into Workflowy rather than the other way around. This allows you to keep your tasks updated based on calendar changes.
How do event reminders work with this integration?
Event reminders set in Google Calendar don't directly trigger actions in Workflowy. However, you can configure workflows that notify you of upcoming tasks created from calendar events using our reminder features.
Is it possible to filter which events trigger actions in Workflowy?
Yes, during the setup of your integration, you'll have options to specify filters based on event attributes like specific calendars, keywords in event titles or even categories. This helps in ensuring only relevant events create tasks or updates.
Are there any known issues with syncing recurring events between Google Calendar and Workflowy?
Recurring events can sometimes lead to multiple entries being created if not configured properly. We recommend setting specific rules for handling recurring instances during the initial setup process to avoid this issue.
