Google Calendar and Slack Integration

When your teammate messages you when you’re in the middle of a meeting it can be awkward to tell them you can't get back at the moment. This readymade Google Calendar to Slack integration template saves you from that trouble. It automatically updates your Slack status when a new event in your Google Calendar begins telling others that you’re busy at the moment.

Here, you can even set a time when you want your status to be updated before an event starts. 15 minutes is set by default, but you can even set it to 5 or 10 minutes or anything that you find appropriate. You also have the option to add text and an emoji to your status.

Send yourself Slack reminders every time there is an upcoming Google Calendar event using this readymade Google Calendar to Slack integration.

It gives you a heads up of approaching events before they begin so that you won’t miss them or be late for them. Here, 15 minutes is set as the reminder time by default. But you can modify it to however many minutes you’d like as an alert before your event starts. This also has a default reminder message to notify you of the event.

Note: If you want to automatically update your Slack status for any new Google Calendar event, change the action step to “Set Status”.
