Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Google Calendar 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.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  key: "google_calendar-new-calendar",
  name: "New Calendar Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a calendar is created.",
  version: "0.1.11",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    db: "$.service.db",
  },
  hooks: {
    async activate() {
      const { items: calendars = [] } = await this.googleCalendar.listCalendars();
      this.emitNewCalendars(calendars);
      const calendarIds = calendars.map((item) => item.id);
      this.setCalendarIds(calendarIds);
    },
    deactivate() {
      this.setCalendarIds([]);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    setCalendarIds(calendarIds) {
      this.db.set("calendarIds", calendarIds);
    },
    getCalendarIds() {
      return this.db.get("calendarIds") || [];
    },
    generateMeta(calendar) {
      const {
        summary,
        id,
      } = calendar;
      return {
        summary,
        id,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
    emitNewCalendars(calendars) {
      const previousCalendarIds = this.getCalendarIds();

      for (const calendar of calendars) {
        if (!previousCalendarIds.includes(calendar.id)) {
          const meta = this.generateMeta(calendar);
          this.$emit(calendar, meta);
        }
      }
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const { items: calendars = [] } = await this.googleCalendar.listCalendars();

    this.emitNewCalendars(calendars);

    const calendarIds = calendars.map((item) => item.id);
    this.setCalendarIds(calendarIds);
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Calendar	`googleCalendar`	`app`	This component uses the Google Calendar app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger 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:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.eventshttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.settings.readonlyemailprofile

About Google Calendar#

Action#

Run Node Code on Node

Description:Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the [Pipedream Node docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/code/nodejs) to learn more.

Node Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Action Code#

import node from "../../node.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Run Node Code",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "node-run-node-code",
  description: "Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the [Pipedream Node docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/code/nodejs) to learn more.",
  props: {
    node,
  },
  type: "action",
  methods: {},
  async run({
    steps, $,
  }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Node	`node`	`app`	This component uses the Node app.

Action Authentication#

The Node API does not require authentication.

About Node#

Anything you can do with Node.js, you can do in a Pipedream workflow. This includes using most of npm's 400,000+ packages.
