Automate Google Calendar Events from Sheets

This workflow is ideal for:

• Event Planners: Professionals who need to schedule multiple events efficiently without manual entry.
• Small Business Owners: Individuals managing appointments and meetings, looking to save time.
• Educators: Teachers creating events for classes or school activities.
• Administrative Staff: Personnel who coordinate schedules and events for teams or departments.

This workflow addresses the challenge of manual event creation in Google Calendar by automating the process using data from Google Sheets. It eliminates the risk of errors and ensures that events are created quickly and accurately, enhancing overall productivity and efficiency.

1. Trigger: The workflow starts with a Google Sheets Trigger that listens for new rows added to a specified sheet, indicating a new event entry.
2. Data Retrieval: It retrieves the latest event details, including the event name, description, start date, and location.
3. Date Formatting: A Function Node formats the event start date to ensure it adheres to Google Calendar's required format, including the current year if necessary.
4. Event Creation: The formatted data is then sent to the Google Calendar Event Creator, which creates a new event in the user's Google Calendar with the specified details, including the event title, description, and location.
5. Customization Options: The workflow allows users to set the event's status and color, offering flexibility in how events are displayed.
