To do this, click "Add trigger" in your playbook. Select the "New row added" trigger option from the dropdown menu under Google Sheets. It will enable your playbook to identify newly added rows and trigger necessary actions automatically.

Add the “Update event” step in Google Calendar

Integrate the Google Calendar automation into your playbook to ensure prompt updates on events.

To add a step to your playbook, select "Add Step" and look for the "Get event" automation. Then, choose the calendar that you want to work with. Once you've chosen a calendar, you must select an identifier in the "Add filter" from your calendar data to match the Google Sheet data. In this example, the identifier is "Title".

Afterward, add another step to your playbook by selecting "Update event." Next, click on relevant fields that you want to update and fill in the necessary details such as Title, and Description.
