Make your calendar part of the workflow

Creating an event is quick. The work around it is not: updates, notifications and cancellations before and after the meeting. Zoho Calendar connects with other apps so those routine steps can run on their own.

Work often starts before an event exists and continues after it ends. Calendar can be the trigger or the action in that chain. It supports event creation, updates and deletions as triggers on Zapier, Make, n8n, Workato and Microsoft Power Automate, and those platforms can also create, update and delete events.

What you can automate

Turn incoming actions into events

An incoming request, such as a form submission, can create a calendar event automatically. Zoho's example is the Zapier integration creating events from new Jotform submissions.

Let an event start the next step

A new event can notify a team, create a task in a connected app or add information to another system.

Keep things moving when plans change

Event created, updated and deleted triggers let a workflow respond to schedule changes. A reschedule can update related records, and a cancellation can start your cancellation process.

Calendar can also be one step in a longer process, at the start, in the middle or as part of a larger chain across applications.

Five platforms that work with Zoho Calendar

Zapier

No-code workflows across web apps. Calendar can be a trigger or an action. Calendar-level triggers include calendar created, updated, deleted or shared. Actions include creating a calendar, creating a quick event from text and managing events. Prebuilt Zaps are available.

Make

Visual scenarios. New, updated and deleted events can start a scenario, and Make can create, update, delete or add events.

n8n

Customizable workflows with custom logic, error handling, scheduling and self-hosting for more control.

Workato

Broader business workflows. Calendar events can trigger recipes, and recipes can create, update, delete or add events.

Microsoft Power Automate

Fits existing flows. Creating, updating or deleting an event can trigger a flow. Power Automate can also create, update, retrieve, search for and delete events.

Which one fits your workflow?

Choose based on your existing tech stack, the apps you need to connect, how complex the workflow is and how much control you want.

Start with one thing you do repeatedly

Pick one repetitive step. It could be copying information into events, notifying the same people, updating meetings or handling cancellations. Connect Zoho Calendar to a platform that fits your setup, automate that step and expand from there.
