Google Calendar Event to Autogenerate another Google Calendar Event in another Google Calendar

What are you trying to achieve?

I followed this thread I need a new event in one calendar to be copied to another calendar at the same time - #4 by Tomas_Kallus
But what frequency should I select so that my calendars sync immediately?
PS: I need to sync about 8 calendars. But as long as I get one sync right it will do.
Also, I already pay for Reclaim.ai to do this for me but costs me $15/mo, and nothing beats being able to create it for free in Make with just a bit more effort, thanks!

Steps taken so far

Scenario built, but no event is being created automatically.

Hello @Jorge_Fuentes and welcome to the Make Community!

There is no frequency you can select for instant/immediate as this is a polling trigger and will only run on a schedule, which can be as little as every minute on some plans, but of course that can use up a lot of operations.

There are some workarounds…

Using Mailhook (easier method)
Set up Google such that it sends an email on new events.
That email can be sent to a Mailhook address which will trigger the scenario.
Others have mentioned this here and here.

Using Webhooks and helper scenario (more complicated setup)

  • Set your scenario to run “On Demand”
  • Create a second helper scenario with two modules - Webhook → Make Run a Scenario (to run the first scenario).

With this, visiting the webhook address given to you by the webhook module in the second scenario will cause scenario #1 to run.
Now, using the instructions provided here, set up Google to call the webhook whenever a change is made to your calendar.
