New Event Start on Google Calendar

Description:Emit new event when the specified time before the Google Calendar event starts

Version:0.1.5

Key:google_calendar-event-start

View on GitHub

Google Calendar Overview#

The Google Calendar API gives developers access to Google Calendar data,
allowing them to create their own applications that can read, write, and update
calendar data. With the API, users can integrate their own calendar
applications with Google Calendar, giving them the ability to manage their
calendars in one place. The API also provides the ability to search for events
and create new events.

Possible applications that could be built using the Google Calendar API
include:

A calendar application that integrates with Google Calendar, allowing users
to manage their calendars in one place.
A calendar application that allows users to search for events and create new
events.
A to-do list application that integrates with Google Calendar, allowing users
to see their tasks and events in one place.
A reminder application that uses Google Calendar data to remind users of
upcoming events.

Trigger Code#

  props: {
    ...common.props({
      useCalendarId: true,
    }),
  },

    ...common.methods,
    getConfig({
      intervalMs, now,
    }) {
      const timeMin = now.toISOString();
      const timeMax = new Date(now.getTime() + intervalMs).toISOString();
      return {
        calendarId: this.calendarId,

      const start = new Date(eventStart);
      const msFromStart = start.getTime() - now.getTime();
      return eventStart && msFromStart > 0 && msFromStart < intervalMs;
    },
  },
  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`
Calendar ID	`calendarId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

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:

PagerDuty Overview#

PagerDuty's APIs allow you to integrate the powerful incident response
capabilities of PagerDuty with your own custom applications. With PagerDuty's
APIs, you can build applications to optimize your incident response process,
collaborate with teams more effectively, and analyze data from your incident
response process. Here are some examples of what you can do with PagerDuty's
APIs:

Create and manage automated incident response workflows
Automatically trigger actions based on incident response events
Enable communication between PagerDuty and other third party applications
Pull data from your previous incident response processes to identify best
practices
Create custom reporting tools and insights into incident response processes
Monitor multiple teams and services at once

Assignee IDs	`assigneeIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Incident Conference Bridge Number	`conferenceBridgeNumber`	`string`	The phone number of the conference call for the conference bridge. Phone numbers should be formatted like `+1 415-555-1212,,,,1234#`, where a comma (`,`) represents a one-second wait and pound (`#`) completes access code input.
