Smartsheet and Google Calendar Integration: Automatic Event Creation

Smartsheet and Google Calendar services help optimize time management and teamwork. However, even the most successful optimization can be seriously hampered if you continue to manually transfer data from one system to another. This can lead to work delays and even missed important events. Fortunately, there is a solution that will eliminate this weak point. You only need to connect both services together and set up automatic data transfer from the source to the recipient. In this article, we will explain how to quickly and easily set up Smartsheet and Google Calendar integration using the ApiX-Drive connector.

The integration of programs is especially useful for teams working on complex projects. Data synchronization will help them manage the time allocated for their completion and the tasks that make up the projects much better.

To set up Google Calendar and Smartsheet integration, you don't need to understand programming. API skills are also not required. The ApiX-Drive online connector will neatly and precisely do all the most complex technical work for you. Its intuitive interface allows you to connect integrations quickly and effortlessly. With even minimal experience working with computer programs, 10 minutes will be quite enough for you.

To set up the Smartsheet integration with Google Calendar, you need to first create a new connection.

Begin by selecting Smartsheet as your data source system.

Then, choose "Get ROWS (new)" as your desired action.

Connect your Smartsheet account to ApiX-Drive.

In the authentication window, enter your Smartsheet username and password.

Grant ApiX-Drive access to use your Smartsheet account.

When your connected account appears in the list of active logins, select it and click "Continue."

Choose the specific sheet from which you want to receive new rows.

At this stage, you have the option to set up a data filter.

Now, you'll see a sample of data from one of your Smartsheet rows. If everything looks correct, click "Continue."

The Smartsheet data source configuration has now been successfully completed.

To continue the Google Calendar integration with Smartsheet, proceed to setting up the data destination.

Select Google Calendar as your target system.

For the action, choose "Create EVENT."

Connect your Google Calendar account to ApiX-Drive.

Then, you'll need to provide the login and password for your Google account.

Be sure to check all the necessary access permission boxes.

When your connected Google account appears in the list of active logins, select it and click "Continue."

You'll now see the Google Calendar fields available for creating new events. First, select your preferred calendar.

Next, assign variables from Smartsheet to the appropriate Google Calendar fields by clicking in each field and selecting the corresponding variable from the dropdown list.

Note that you can combine variables from the dropdown list with manually entered information.

To create a new line, press "Enter."

Once all required fields are completed, click "Edit and continue."

You'll now see a preview of the data that will be sent to Google Calendar as new events for each new row from Smartsheet. If you need to make adjustments, click "Edit" to return to the previous step to check the correctness of your settings. After confirming everything is correct, click "Send test data to Google Calendar."

Go to Google Calendar to verify the test results.

Return to ApiX-Drive to complete the setup process.

To enable automatic data transfer, configure scheduled updates to sync Smartsheet and Google Calendar. Click "Enable update."

Click on the gear button.

Select your preferred interval for updating the data, such as once every 5 minutes. Additionally, you can modify the connection name and assign it to the required group. Click "Continue" when finished.
