How To Use Google Calendar – Create Events With Your Form

October 30, 2021

Google Calendar is one of the most popular calendaring applications today. It’s helpful in scheduling events, booking time, and planning your day.

The Google Calendar Integration on Jotform helps you easily and seamlessly connect your form to a Google Calendar in just a few steps.

  1. Locate the Google Calendar integration from the form builder and authenticate your Google Calendar account.
    google-calendar-integration
  2. Next, select one of your calendars or dynamically select the calendar from your form using a dropdown or single choice field (the options in those fields should have the same names as your calendars).
    google-calendar-select
  3. Once you’ve decided which calendar you would like to use, select or type a title for the event, then select the start date and time, and the end date and time. You may want to require the date fields on your form; otherwise, the event will be saved as an all-day event.
  4. Finally, select or type the description and location of the event.
    google-calendar-match

You can connect other calendars in your account using the same integration. This will allow you to design multiple workflows while keeping everything synced.

And that’s it! Your integration is ready to run, and a Google Calendar event will be created every time you get a form submission.

    The real problem are double appointments.
    If google calendar has an appointment scheduled you should not be able to select that time and date for another appointment on jotform.

    I don't want to have multiple customers to shedule the same time and day.

    Is it possible to solve this?
    I can't read Jonathan's answer 'cause 404 the page does not exist so please tell me if there's a way to solve this issue

    When someone fills out the form, there should be an option to use that person's email to add them as a Guest or attendee of the event that gets scheduled. That would also allow the calendar to send them the invite.

    I currently allow transcribers to schedule their test with a Google form, then use Zapier to add their scheduled test to the calendar. I would like to actually have the application and test scheduling together on one Jotform, but I would need to be able to add them to the event so that my other zap can email them the testing materials.

    You guys may want to note in the integration info that it is only one way - a calendar that allows double bookings kinda defeats the purpose. Is there any plan to make the integration 2 way, or any workaround?

    Hola.. necesito sincronizar 2 formularios de turnos con la agenda de Google. En cada formulario se ofrecen 6 horarios por día. Pero si se elije una hora de un determinado día en un formulario y se reserva el turno, en el otro formulario el mismo turno todavía continúa libre. En la agenda se graban correctamente los turno.
