Google Calendar reminders to slack

Hi,

I’m struggling to find the answer to this. I have set up a module that watches my Google Calendar but event start date. I then put in a router and set up filters so that I can send a reminder to a Slack channel 12 weeks, 8 weeks and 4 weeks before an event. It doesn’t seem to be working however, are the pictures below correct? The example is for the 12 weeks route.


Hi @Joe_Hannis ,

You should test your conditions one by one, maybe it is the second part of your condition that doesn’t work.

If you could share your data, it could be useful for reproducing.

Hi Philippe,

I just did a check and it looks like for some reason my event aren’t being pulled through from Google Calendar so I don’t have the data for test. I’m just getting a blank response

Welcome to the Make community!

You can have a scenario watch new items and schedule a cron job callback using apps like 0CodeKit that allows you to schedule a “callback” to a URL defined in a “Custom Webhook” trigger in another scenario at the exact time you want

You don’t have to use a data store, this is just an example. You can use Google Sheets, Google Calendar, etc.

Alternatively, if you are already using Airtable, you can use an Airtable formula and built-in automation, briefly mentioned here.

Hi @samliew , thanks for the reply. Would you be able to give me an example of how I could get 0codekit to work? I can’t really see how it would integrate with Google Calendar

To reach those routes with Slack, your trigger module has to run at the time your message needs to be sent.

Instead, you need to schedule a callback to a different scenario (with a Slack module) at the time you want the Slack message to go out.

For examples, you can search this forum. e.g.:
