What if chatbot can help you to manage your schedule?
Your schedule, meetings is on your chatbot, with Activechat – it’s easier than you think.
In this short guide I will show you how to interact with Google Calendar through your chatbot.
Go to “Settings – Integrations” and select “Google Services” on the left. Click “Connect” to give Activechat permission to access your Google account and you’ll see the complete list of Sheets in the table. This is for reference only (you will be able to select specific Sheets from this list later in block settings).
Now when you have your Google Service account connected to the chatbot, you can use all Google blocks in Activechat constructor.
Use the GC Create to Create an event in your Google Calendar.ย Please note that timeย should be entered in 24-hour clock formatย andย datesย should be entered in yy.mm.dd format.
Here is field description in-depth:
To make things work you will also need system variables:
ย ย ย โก๏ธ $_gc_event_summary
ย ย ย โก๏ธย $_gc_event_description
ย ย ย โก๏ธ $_gc_event_creator
ย ย ย โก๏ธ $_gc_event_start_time
ย ย ย โก๏ธ $_gc_event_end_time
ย ย ย โก๏ธย $_gc_event_start_date
ย ย ย โก๏ธ $_gc_event_end_date
After GC-Create block is executed you can check resulting status withย $_gc_resultย variable (it should contain “Ok” if data was sent successfully). Use SWITCH block to check this if necessary.
Do not forget to connect TEXT block (displayingย $_last_errorย system variable) to the ERROR exit so that your bot will inform you if anything goes wrong while executing these blocks. If you do not have anything connected, the blocks will fail silently and you will spend lots of time trying to figure out whatโs going on.ย
Here is the screenshot of my flow:
Use GC Search to check your schedule.
Date interval:
In red square will be interval in which it will search your events. For example, if you have an event in date – 2019/05/13 , you can set interval: dateMin: 2019/05/10 and dateMax: 2019/05/14 . Put it simple – to find event(s) you should just set a date interval in which your event(s) fits.
Time interval
The same thing with a time interval, for example: if you need to find an eventย which starts in 10:50, place Time max for 10:52.
Timezone
This field is optional in GC SEARCH, it will move your time interval according to your Google Calendar timezone.
As the result you can get something like this:
It’s quite simple. Let’s check it.
Use our system variable – $_gc_event_idย ย to identify the event which you want to edit.
Feel free to edit any fields you want in chosen event
Removing events
You can toggle the โremoveโ option if itโs on – the event will be deleted. If the toggle is turned off – bot will update the information which you entered.
