Frequently Asked Questions about Ghost + Google Calendar integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Ghost and Google Calendar
How can I integrate Ghost with Google Calendar using Zapier?
To integrate Ghost with Google Calendar, use Zapier to create a 'Zap'—an automated workflow. Set Ghost as your trigger app and choose an event, such as 'New Post Published.' Then, select Google Calendar as the action app, and decide on an action, like 'Create Detailed Event.' This connects Ghost activity directly with your calendar.
What triggers are available in Ghost for setting up integrations with Google Calendar through Zapier?
When setting up the integration, you can use triggers like 'New Post Published' or 'Updated Post' from Ghost to initiate actions in Google Calendar. These allow specific events in your Ghost platform to automatically reflect changes in your calendar schedule.
Can I automatically add new blog posts from Ghost to my Google Calendar?
Yes, by using the 'New Post Published' trigger in Zapier, you can set an action to create a detailed event in Google Calendar whenever a new post is published on your Ghost website. This helps keep track of content publication dates.
Is it possible to update my Google Calendar when I update a post on Ghost?
Absolutely! Use the 'Updated Post' trigger from Ghost within Zapier. Every time you update a post on your site, your selected action—like updating an event—will execute in Google Calendar without manual intervention.
How do I handle time zones when integrating Ghost posts with Google Calendar events using Zapier?
In our integration setup between Ghost and Google Calendar via Zapier, it's critical to match the time zones for both applications. Ensure that both accounts are set to the correct time zone so that any scheduled events align accurately with your local time.
Can recurring events be created in Google Calendar based on my schedule for publishing posts on Ghost?
Currently, setting up recurring events directly through the standard integration isn't supported automatically by our default actions. You'd need additional steps within Zapier or manual tweaks in Google Calendar post-creation for recurring schedules.
What should I do if my integration between Ghost and Google Calendar isn't working as expected?
If something seems off with your integrations, double-check that all Zaps are activated correctly. Make sure triggers and actions are properly configured and review any error messages or warnings within your Zap history for troubleshooting guidance.
