How this create detailed event form template works

This template uses a simple form to create a comprehensive event-planning solution for you.

Here's a breakdown of how it works:

• Start by filling in your form with all the necessary details for your event. Of course, you'll want to capture the event title, date, time, and location or videoconference URL. But you can also populate the form with fields like reminders, Color ID for categorization, and visibility settings.
• Once all the details are in, submit the form to trigger a Zap, which processes the information and communicates it to Google Calendar to create a new event.
• The entire workflow is mapped out in Canvas, ensuring a smooth transition from form submission to event creation.
