Hi Prakash! :waving_hand: Definitely review the articles that Desiree has linked above for more detail. Regarding the Google Calendar integration, I recommend setting up 2 Date Columns on your board to sync the start and end date and time for your Google Calendar events, like this:

This allows you a different start and end time for your events, as opposed to having one Date Column which limits you to one specific entry of time and date.

When you set up the automation for your Google Calendar integration, the “event” or “item” field will open this page:

It is called the item mapping page, which prompts you to match the fields in Google Calendar (on the left side) to the columns on your monday board (on the right side):

You’ll see that the Google Calendar side has two event fields: “Start time” and “End time.” You can map both of those fields to your two Date Columns, like I’ve done on my demo board. This will ensure that you can enter and sync two different dates and times, if necessary.

Additionally, you’ll notice that there is an “Attendees” field for your Google Calendar event on the page. This field pulls the email addresses of the invited attendees from your Google Calendar event. This field can only be synced to a Dropdown Column on a monday board, which is why you see a Dropdown Column in the initial screenshot.

If you have a Google Calendar automation which syncs data from monday to Google Calendar, you can enter the attendee’s email addresses as separate dropdown labels. When the event is created, those email addresses will be added to the event.

Let us know if you have any other questions about the integrations!
