Description
Hi team,
I’d like to request (or explore) a feature that allows Nextcloud(v30) Forms to automatically create or update Calendar events based on submitted form data.
Use Case
Our team frequently travels internationally, and we currently maintain a shared Nextcloud Calendar(v6) so everyone can see who is traveling to which country on which dates.
However, filling in travel information directly in the Calendar is less convenient than using Forms(v5), which offer structured fields, easier input, and better export/analysis options.
The idea is:
A shared Form (e.g., “Business Trip Record”) includes fields like:
Employee Name
Destination Country
Start Date
End Date
Notes or Purpose
When a team member submits or updates a form entry, the data should automatically create or update an event in a shared Calendar (e.g., “Team Travel Calendar”).
This would allow everyone to still use their preferred calendar clients (like Outlook) to view team availability while keeping structured data in Forms for analytics.
Benefits
Centralized data collection via Forms
Automatic synchronization with shared Calendar
Improved data consistency, exportability, and team visibility
Possible Implementations
Direct integration between Forms and Calendar (ideal)
A workflow bridge (maybe via Flow or an app hook) that triggers when a form is submitted
Webhook or API support for creating/updating calendar events based on form responses
Question
Has anyone implemented something like this, or is there any plan to make Forms interact with Calendar or Flow in this way?
Thank you for considering this — I believe it would be a very useful enhancement for teams managing travel or scheduling tasks.
