Keep Google Agenda and WhatsApp updated automatically.
Today someone reads the message, and after that it still has to land somewhere else before anything happens. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Google Agenda lands in WhatsApp by itself, in the shape WhatsApp expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.
What this connector takes off your hands

What Google Agenda to WhatsApp saves you
- Get a WhatsApp message for every new request via Google Agenda.
- Get a WhatsApp message for every appointment booked via Google Agenda.
- Get a WhatsApp message for a Google Agenda message left unanswered.

Notifications
to WhatsApp automaticallyFrom this you get a short message in WhatsApp in the channel you choose, one line on what happened, so you see it at once without logging in anywhere.
What each side expects
Google Agenda and WhatsApp do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Messages through a connector run over a business WhatsApp number, not your personal app. What you send has to be short enough to read on a phone, so one line with what matters.

Common questions
Can you connect Google Agenda to WhatsApp?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Google Agenda and WhatsApp, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Can I choose which events send me a WhatsApp message?
Yes. You decide which events from Google Agenda produce a message, for instance a new order but not a stock change.
Which WhatsApp channel do the notifications land in?
The channel you choose. You can also send different kinds of notification to different channels, so it does not become one big stream.
How are the Google Agenda fields mapped to WhatsApp?
You set once which field from Google Agenda belongs where in WhatsApp. After that every new submission lands in the right place automatically.
Does this run over my personal WhatsApp or a business number?
Over a business WhatsApp number with a provider that allows messages through an API, not your personal app.
What does connecting Google Agenda and WhatsApp cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Google Agenda sync with WhatsApp?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
Do I get one WhatsApp message per event or a summary?
By default it is one short message per event, one line on what is happening. If you would rather have a digest, we settle that when setting it up.
Missing something you need?
