Utilizing Google Calendar Reminders in make flow

[D_Sparrow]

Hello, I searched the Community Posts around triggering things based on Google Calendar events but what I’m trying to is different…I want users to be able to Add New Google Calendar Events that INCLUDE Notification(s) which are native to Google Calendar.

Then, when the Event is saved it triggers make.com (or is triggered by make during normal polling), and I’m wondering if the API data coming into make from G Cal INCLUDES those Notification times (5 min before event, 10 min before etc…I think a max of 2 is allowed in G Cal)?? I saw some screenshots of the API structure being returned from G Cal & didn’t see them included, that’s why I’m asking before I spin my wheels to setup my flow based on these Notifications. The flow which would be STORE each Event in Data Store including its Notification times translated to actual TimeStamps based on time before event required, then poll the Data Store each 5 minutes for any un-processed Notifications that will trigger within next 5 minutes & send out an SMS reminder messages for each Notification that is found, then mark it as Processed so it won’t be found next time.

Thanks in advance for any help around this!!

The notification time won’t show up if it uses the default. It must be selected by user for it to show. So this might not be reliable. What you can do is just set the notification into the data store itself.

Perhaps have users set a calendar event via a form so you can collect the notification time and then store it in the database.

Hope this helps!

Thank you I didn’t explain very well - yes, the Users would have to select/set the optional G cal Notifications when creating the Event.

My question is will those Notifications (IF set per User creation) be included in the API Data returned from that queried G Cal Event?

Yes
