How to use Glide’s calendar events for scheduling?

Step 1: Access the Glide App

Fire up your browser and head over to the Glide website. Log in with your credentials, or if you’re new, go ahead and create an account.

Step 2: Start a New Project

After logging in, hit the "New Project" button. This lets you start a fresh app from scratch or pick a template to get going.

Step 3: Select the Calendar Component

In the app builder interface, find the components section, usually hanging out on the left-hand sidebar. Drag and drop the "Calendar" component into your app's layout. Easy peasy.

Step 4: Configure Data Source

Click on the calendar component to open its settings. Choose the data source where your event info is stored. This could be a Google Sheet or another data type that Glide supports.

Step 5: Map Data Fields

In the calendar settings menu, map your data fields to the calendar. Set the 'Date' field to the column with the event dates, and the 'Title' field to the column with event names. If you have 'Description' and 'Location' fields, you can map those too.

Step 6: Customize Event Display

Tweak how the events show up in the calendar. Customize the look by changing color schemes, fonts, and event labels. These options are usually in the "Appearance" or "Display" section of the component settings.

Step 7: Add Additional Features

Make your calendar even better by adding filters or search functionalities. Use interactive elements like buttons or links to let users add events or get more details.

Step 8: Set Up Event Notifications (Optional)

If you want to send notifications for upcoming events, integrate Glide with a third-party service like Zapier. Set up triggers that send email or mobile notifications based on event dates.

Step 9: Test the Calendar

Preview your app using Glide's preview function. Navigate through the calendar to make sure all events are displayed correctly and that any added features work as intended.

Step 10: Publish and Share

Once you're happy with everything, publish your app by clicking on the "Publish" button. Share the link with users or embed it into a website for easy access.
