Google Calendar integration
Connect Google Calendar with your Softr applications to turn form submissions and member actions into real calendar events. Build booking portals, internal scheduling tools, and event workflows that keep everyone’s calendar up to date — without code.
Overview
The Softr Google Calendar integration lets your no-code app create and manage events in any Google Calendar your team uses. Trigger event creation from form submissions, member sign-ups, button clicks, or status changes, and let your workflows handle the scheduling, invitations, and follow-up automatically.
Whether you’re running a coaching portal where clients self-book sessions, an internal tool that schedules onboarding calls for new hires, or a member community that organizes events, Google Calendar gives your Softr app a real scheduling backbone — complete with attendee invites and calendar reminders.
Available Actions
Create detailed event
Create a fully configured calendar event — title, description, start and end times, location, and calendar — directly from a Softr workflow.
Add attendees to event
Invite one or more guests to an existing calendar event so they receive the meeting invitation and stay in sync with any updates.
Key Benefits
- No-code scheduling: Wire up calendar workflows visually in Softr — no scripts, no APIs, no developer required.
- Real-time event creation: Turn every form submission, sign-up, or record update into a scheduled event the moment it happens.
- Centralized team coordination: Keep client meetings, internal sessions, and member events on the same Google Calendars your team already lives in.
- Automated invitations: Add attendees automatically so guests get the invite — and the reminders — without anyone copy-pasting emails.
- Member-facing or internal: Power customer-facing booking portals or back-office scheduling tools from the same building blocks.
