Hi. When creating an automation that creates a new Google Calendar event, the data I can include is quite limited. All I can include are start time, end time, title description, attendees, and location, while the board and item have a lot more columns I want to include (e.g., formatted long form description, files, time).
Additionally, the location I have available to me restricts which columns can be passed. For example, location can take a text column but not the location specific column!
My goal is to populate the guests, include the address as a clickable address, and formatted descriptions. Basically, I just want to populate the event the same as I would from Google Calendar.
What am I missing? Thank you.
Hey @TempletonFerrari
We developed an app called Google Calendar Integration Plus that provides a robust Google calendar and monday.com integration.
In the context of what you’re asking, it supports - Inviting guests, adding descriptions, controlling time and pretty much all the relevant columns.
Here are the rest of key differences from monday’s native solution -
- Allows to select which calendar to use (not just the primary default)
- Supports subitems
- Much more flexible triggers - “no more sync every item”
- Allows full mapping - updates, invitees and more
- Allows to control the start & end date and time.
You can find it in the monday.com marketplace in the platform or here - Google Calendar Integration Plus - monday.com App Marketplace
Hope that helps
