By connecting Google Calendar with PassKit, you can automatically issue digital wallet passes such as event tickets, appointment confirmations, or access passes based on new events, RSVPs, or changes to scheduled activities. This brings your calendar-based interactions into customers’ or participants’ mobile wallets.

Setting Up The Integration

To connect Google Calendar with PassKit:

  1. Create and publish your digital pass in PassKit (e.g., event ticket, appointment pass, or access card).
  2. Go to Settings > Developer Tools in your PassKit dashboard to generate your API credentials and check your API region.
  3. In Google Calendar, decide on the trigger:
    • A new event is created
    • An RSVP is received
    • An event is updated or confirmed
  4. Use Zapier, Make, or a webhook to connect Google Calendar to PassKit:
    • Trigger: New event or event update in Google Calendar
    • Action: Create or update a pass in PassKit using event or attendee data
  5. Map fields such as name, email, event title, location, or time to your PassKit pass template.
  6. Deliver the pass link via email, SMS, or store it in a CRM entry linked to the attendee.

This setup automates creating and sending passes based on your calendar events.
