I want the user of my app to be able to add events to his/her own calendar using input fields. Can i use Zapier for that? I really cant wrap my head around it. Much appreciated for all help i can get.

Best regards,

You should be able to do that with Zapier & Adalo.

Here’s a link to triggering a custom action with a Zapier Webhook. And then you can create a google calendar event with that with the second tutorial video in Zapier.

Hi David, after running successful tests on Adalo’s side using this custom action I still get an error from Zapier when I sent a test to this URL. Any other videos or instructions you can send?
