Build and run workflows using the Google Calendar API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The Google Calendar API lets you dip into the powerhouse of scheduling, allowing for the reading, creation, and manipulation of events and calendars directly from your applications. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Google Calendar into a myriad of workflows, automating event management, syncing with other services, setting up custom reminders, or even collating data for reporting. The key here is to streamline your calendar-related processes, ensuring that your time management is as efficient and automated as possible.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
google_calendar: {
type: "app",
app: "google_calendar",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_calendar.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Event Synchronization Across Platforms: Create a workflow that listens for new events on Google Calendar and replicates them on other platforms like Outlook or Apple Calendar. This ensures your schedule remains in sync across different services.
Automated Meeting Prep: Set up a Pipedream workflow that triggers a sequence of events whenever a new meeting is scheduled on Google Calendar. This could send out reminder emails with attached agendas to participants, book conference rooms through your office management system, or check the attendees' LinkedIn profiles to provide you with recent updates about them before the meeting.
Dynamic Event Response: Implement a workflow that reacts to updated or canceled events on Google Calendar. On event cancellation, it could trigger a message on Slack to inform team members and update project management tools to reschedule associated tasks. When an event is updated, it can automatically adjust reminders or send out new invites if the attendee list changes.

Authentication#
Google Calendar uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Calendar account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Calendar and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Calendar API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
