How to book Google meet by using Pabbly
Updated by Alexander Gao
Introduction
As Landbot has Calendly integration to book calls, we'd also like to introduce you a flow to book Google meet considering there are many users communicating with their clients with Google meet.
To do that, Pabbly can help you to accomplish the flow, we just need to send some necessary datas collected from Landbot, and Pabbly will book the meeting for you itself, then the users will receive an invitation email, meanwhile the events will be displayed in your Google Calendar.
To do this in the article we will show you how to:
- 1. Set up in Pabbly the trigger to receive the datas from Landbot
- 2. Create some blocks in Landbot to prepare the datas to be sent
- 3. Prepare the Automation trigger in Landbot that will trigger Pabbly workflow with the information needed
- 4. Use the data collected from Landbot and using Date/Time Formatter, to adjust the time for the end time of the meeting
- 5. Use the data collected from Landbot and using Google Meet, to setup the necessary contents with the datas collected from Landbot, such as attendee email, start time and end time etc.
Below is an example of the flow:
- a. Collect the data with Question blocks and button
- b. Adjust date format with Formulas block
- c. Set your available time for meeting
- d. Using Dynamic Data to display the available hours
- e. Combine the date and the time as a variable
- f. Send datas to Pabbly
Prepare Landbot
- Firstly, we have to make a little flow for collect information, like name, email, date, etc.
- Then let's set a button block to ask the theme of the meeting:
- Remember to save the answer as a variable:
- Let's create a Formulas block:
- Reform the date format:
- Let's name the result then we are going to use the formula Replace, to replace / with - :
Replace(@date,"/","-")
- In case of we want the users type in a different format, for example DD/MM/YYYY, but in Pabbly only accept RFC3339 format, in Landbot we can adjust it within Formulas block, by using formula ToDate(). Here is an example and the result:
ToDate(@date,"%d/%m/%Y")
- Let's name the result then we are going to use the formula Replace, to replace / with - :
- After that, we create a Set variable block, to set the hours that we will be available:
- To display the hours as buttons, we have to create a Dynamic data block:
- We can put a question that we want to ask the users, then iterate it with the array we set as @time. Before we apply it, we have to save the answer as a variable:
- Now we need to create a Set variable block:
- Name the variable and below Type the value we combine the reformed date and the hour that users choose with a certain format:
- Create a Automation trigger block:
- The final step is leave two messages, one to inform the users the meeting is booked successfully, and the other is to inform them that hour is not available then redirect them to the Question: Date block so they can select again:
Create Pabbly workflow
- After set a Trigger automation block, let's open Pabbly, and log in:
- What we need to do is press Access Now of Connect:
- Then click on the button of Create Workflow at upper right corner:
- And give the workflow a name:
- Then below Choose Application we select Webhook:
- Later it will display this page:
- Click on the button of Copy:
- Then click on the button Capture Webhook Response:
Prepare Landbot request to Pabbly
- During the time it waits for the datas, let's open Landbot, then paste the URL to Trigger automation block:
- Now we are going to set the variables we want to send to Pabbly. Scroll down and go to Set data (variables) to be sent section, where you can see we are setting values to the Landbot variables:
- And click on Test webhook trigger button:
- If you scroll down, you will see the response from Pabbly:
- As long as the status code is 200, means our request is successfully sent.
Inside of Pabbly check request data
- Now we turn back to Pabbly:
Now we have seen below appears new fields. Means Pabbly has received our variables.
Adjust the date format
Create the action to calculate the hour
- And now click on the plus button, and search for Date/Time formatter:
- In Action Event we select Add/Subtract time, then click on Connect:
Set the date and calculation
- Below Enter date we select the date we sent from Landbot:
