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.

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.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Pipedream API Key	`pipedreamApiKey`	`string`	Click here to find your Pipedream API key
Calendar ID	`calendarId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Event Types	`eventTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`defaultfocusTimeoutOfOfficeworkingLocation`
Minutes Before	`time`	`integer`	Number of minutes to trigger before the start of the calendar event.

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

quentn uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your quentn account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to quentn APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To get your API Key, navigate to the Settings menu (icon with the gear logo) in your quentn account, then go to the API Info menu and click on the green button that says "Create new key". Give the key a name (e.g. the name of the third-party provider) and save it.

On the same API Info page, within API base URL, you are able to get your System ID and Server ID. The API base URL has the following structure:
https://{system_id}.{server_id}.quentn.com/public/api/V1/contact
