Google Calendar Integration's Information Limitation

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 -

  1. Allows to select which calendar to use (not just the primary default)
  2. Supports subitems
  3. Much more flexible triggers - “no more sync every item”
  4. Allows full mapping - updates, invitees and more
  5. 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
