01. IntegrationProductivityCommunication

Turn Fellow action items into scheduled calendar time, automatically

Outbound: keep stakeholders informed

Rills watches your Fellow workspace and proposes the right Google Calendar event before anything is created. You approve from your phone, so your calendar only changes when you say so.

02. Overview

Connect Fellow to Google Calendar with an approval before every event

The Fellow + Google Calendar integration is built for solopreneurs and small teams who run their work through meeting notes and action items. When something gets assigned in Fellow, Rills can propose a matching calendar event or find an open slot on the assignee's schedule, so tasks don't just sit in a list waiting to be forgotten.

Every proposed action waits for your approval before anything touches Google Calendar. You get a notification on your phone, swipe to approve or reject, and Rills learns from your pattern over time. Approvals and logic are always free. You only pay when a real calendar action runs.

With fellow to google calendar automation, you can schedule dedicated work time the moment a task is assigned, keep calendar events in sync as action items are completed, and skip the back-and-forth of manually blocking time. The fellow google calendar integration means your calendar reflects your actual commitments, not just your meetings.

03. Use cases

What Fellow can hand to Google Calendar, with you in the loop

Schedule a work block when an action item is assigned

The moment a Fellow action item is assigned, Rills proposes a new Google Calendar event so the assignee has a dedicated time block. No task gets lost in a list without a place on the calendar.

07. FAQ

Common questions about connecting Fellow to Google Calendar

How do I connect Fellow to Google Calendar?

Sign up for a free Rills trial, then authorize both your Fellow workspace and your Google Calendar account from the Rills dashboard. From there, pick a trigger like action_item.assigned, choose an action like Create Event, and run your first automation in under ten minutes.

How much does this integration cost?

Rills offers a free 14-day trial with no credit card required. Approvals and workflow logic are always free. You only pay when a real action runs in Google Calendar, so reviewing and rejecting proposals costs you nothing.

Can Rills find free time on my calendar before scheduling a task?

Yes. When a Fellow action item is assigned, Rills can query Google Calendar for open slots on the assignee's schedule before proposing an event time. This means suggested blocks fit around existing meetings rather than landing on top of them.

Do I have to approve every calendar action, or can it run automatically?

By default, every proposed action waits for your approval via a phone notification. As Rills learns your preferences, you can set rules to auto-approve actions you always accept. You stay in control of how much autonomy the workflow has.

What happens if I reject a proposed calendar event?

Nothing changes in Google Calendar. Rills logs your rejection and uses it to improve future suggestions. You can also add a note explaining why, which helps the workflow learn your preferences faster over repeated runs.

Does this work if multiple team members are assigned tasks in Fellow?

Yes. Rills can handle action items assigned to different team members, checking each person's Google Calendar for free slots or creating events on their calendars, as long as you have the necessary sharing permissions set up in Google Calendar.
