Hey everyone, I’m hoping to be able to have my website sync directly with my google calendar that way I don’t have to manually copy every event into a CMS and upload it every time something changes. In a perfect world, the website would pull every event and create a box for it, similar to the way my schedule does currently.
Recently I had a venue cancel, two others change their times, added a couple of shows…and every single change I have to go back into my excel, make the changes, upload to the website, etc. Would make life a whole lot easier if the website just fed straight from my google cal app.
If you’re wanting your events to be stored in the CMS, you can setup automations to keep the CMS current based on what happens in your calendar. New events, recurring events, edits, deletes… all of these can trigger updates.
Make.com is a good choice here, but there are a lot of automation options.
Hey! Totally get the struggle: managing event changes across multiple places can turn into a real headache.
If you want to avoid manually updating your CMS every time something shifts in your calendar, syncing your Google Calendar directly with your website is definitely the way to go.
One option you might try is using a widget that pulls events straight from your Google Calendar and updates automatically when changes happen. For example, Elfsight’s Event Calendar for Webflow does exactly that - once you connect it to your Google Calendar, it imports your events and keeps them in sync. So when something changes (like a venue cancels or time updates), your website reflects it without you touching anything. You also get more control over how the calendar looks - layout, fonts, colors, and even filtering options — much more flexible than the default Google embed.
If you prefer not to use a third-party plugin, you could embed your Google Calendar directly into your Webflow website by copying the public embed code from your calendar settings and pasting it into a code block on your page. It works, but design-wise it’s pretty limited and won’t match your website’s style unless you dig into custom CSS.
Hope this helps save you some time and clicks. If you want more details on setting things up, happy to help.
