The Add a Google Calendar event whenever a Chili Piper meeting is updated workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Chili Piper, Google Calendar — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Rescheduled and reassigned meetings are the ones people miss. Chili Piper knows about every change, but someone else on the team may want a calendar that shows the latest version of each meeting. This workflow writes an event to Google Calendar whenever Chili Piper reports an update.

The Chili Piper trigger fires whenever a meeting is updated, for example when it is reassigned or rescheduled. FlowMattic passes the meeting data to Google Calendar, and the Create Detailed Event step adds an event to the calendar you pick, with the title, times and description you map from the meeting.

Be clear about what this does: it creates a new event every time, and never edits or removes an earlier one. A meeting rescheduled twice adds two events, and both stay on the calendar. That makes it best for a separate calendar used as a log of changes, not the calendar the meeting already lives on. Task History shows each run and Google's response.

Change log calendar for sales managers

Keep a dedicated Google Calendar named Chili Piper changes. Managers scan it to see which meetings moved and when they now take place.

Reassignment notice for a shared team calendar

When a meeting moves from one rep to another, an event with the new owner and time appears on a team calendar everyone can view.

Spotting meetings that keep moving

Because each update adds an event, a prospect who reschedules several times stands out as a cluster of entries on the log calendar.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Point the step at a calendar used only for this workflow, so the extra events don't double up the bookings your reps already see in their own calendars.
Put the word Updated and the meeting owner's name in the event title, so anyone reading the log calendar can tell at a glance what changed.
Import a second copy on the Chili Piper Canceled Meeting trigger, so cancellations show up on the same log calendar as separate entries.

Questions about this workflow

Will this edit the existing Google Calendar event for the Chili Piper meeting?

No. The step is Create Detailed Event, so it always adds a new event. Google Calendar's Update Event action needs the event's own ID, which the Chili Piper update doesn't carry.

Does a brand-new Chili Piper booking start this workflow?

No. New bookings use Chili Piper's separate New Meeting trigger. This workflow reacts only to changes to meetings that already exist.

Will the people in the meeting get a Google Calendar invite?

Only if you add them as guests in the step, where the step offers that. Check the options in the Create Detailed Event step after import; the template ships with nothing set.
