About Kissflow's Google Calendar integration

Kissflow Integration's Google Calendar connector lets you connect Google Calendar instantly with other Kissflow apps and popular third-party applications to automate your work. To integrate with Google Calendar, you must have a valid Google Calendar account and be a paid customer of Kissflow.

After authenticating your Google Calendar account, add relevant values against the Google Calendar form fields. You can hit Refresh fields to view all the updated fields in the selected Google Calendar form. You can also map Google Calendar fields from your trigger step or fields from your previous action steps. These values will be automatically added to item fields after the action is executed.
After a successful configuration, test whether your Google Calendar action step is set up correctly by clicking the Test button. The connector will pull field data from your selected Google Calendar account and display it as a JSON output. Similar to trigger step, errors are notified to you right away. Fix them before retesting the action step.
