Arlo ACTION

Create Event

Create a new scheduled Arlo Event by submitting an event import request. Provide the parent template Code (not its numeric ID) and one or more sessions. The Arlo API processes this asynchronously and returns an AsyncTaskID; the created event starts in Draft status. Run List Event Templates to find the template Code. Example: call with templateCode: "SP1", sessions: '[{"Name":"Day 1","StartDateTime":"2026-09-15T09:00:00+12:00","EndDateTime":"2026-09-15T17:00:00+12:00"}]' to schedule one session under that template. See the documentation.

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Arlo account once, then configure and run Create Event from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "arlo-create-event",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    arlo: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    templateCode: "Template Code",
    sessions: "Sessions",
  },
})

console.log(result)
