Build your own

Build any Google Calendar and Telegram automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Google Calendar and Telegram in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every evening at 9pm, send me a Telegram message with tomorrow's events, and warn me if the first one starts before 8am.

When I message my bot a sentence like 'lunch with Sam next Tuesday at 1', use AI to read the date and time, create the Google Calendar event, and reply with a confirmation.

Use cases

Why people connect Google Calendar and Telegram

How the two apps work together

  • ClickRuntime reads Google Calendar on a schedule, as often as every 5 minutes.
  • Reminders, agendas and change notices are sent to a Telegram chat or group through your bot.
  • Messages to the bot reach a trigger link instantly through Telegram's webhook, so they can create or look up events.

  • Freelancer gets meeting reminders on the phone

    A Telegram message before each event with the time, location and video link works even when the calendar app is muted.

  • Tutor or coach sends a daily agenda

    Each morning, a Telegram message lists the day's sessions. It is a quick look at the day.

  • Small team shares schedule changes in a group

    When an event on a shared calendar is moved or cancelled, a Telegram group gets a note with the old and new time.

  • Busy parent adds events by message

    A message to the bot like 'dentist Friday 3pm' becomes a Google Calendar event.

More apps

Google Calendar, Telegram and other apps in one automation

An automation isn't limited to two apps. Add the next step in another app and it runs as part of the same automation.

Log Telegram bookings in a sheet

When I add an event by messaging my Telegram bot, also log it in my Appointments sheet with the client name.

Telegram reminders plus client emails

The day before each client session, send the client a reminder from Gmail and send me a Telegram note that it went out.

Daily agenda with tasks

Each morning, send me one Telegram message with today's Google Calendar events and my Todoist tasks due today.
