Google Calendar ACTION
Get Current User
Retrieve information about the authenticated Google Calendar account, including the primary calendar (summary, timezone, ACL flags), a list of accessible calendars, user-level settings (timezone, locale, week start), and the color palette that controls events and calendars. Ideal for confirming which calendar account is in use, customizing downstream scheduling, or equipping LLMs with the user’s context (timezones, available calendars) prior to creating or updating events. See the documentation.

Call this tool
Connect a user's Google Calendar account once, then configure and run Get Current User from your backend or agent.

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: "google_calendar-get-current-user",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
google_calendar: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
},
})
