Integrate the HTTP / Webhook API with the Google Calendar API
Setup the HTTP / Webhook API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Google Calendar API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate HTTP / Webhook and Google Calendar remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Connect HTTP / Webhook#
export default defineComponent({
props: {
http: {
type: "http_request",
default: {
method: "GET",
url: "http://api.open-notify.org/iss-now.json",
}
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await this.http.execute()
},
})
Connect Google Calendar#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
google_calendar: {
type: "app",
app: "google_calendar",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_calendar.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})

A Look at Pipedream
I'm going to build a workflow that will search Twitter every hour for a keyword. It will take the results, format them nicely, and then email it.
Building a Traffic-Based Workflow in Pipedream
Normally I don't like to blog about stuff that isn't generally available to all, but as it will be available sometime soon, I decided to go ahead anyway. And I built something really cool I want to share so that's another reason to talk about this now!
Adding Google Calendar to Your Jamstack - with Pipedream
Late last year (remember last year - sigh) I wrote up a post demonstrating how to integrate Google Calendar into your static web site: "Adding Google Calendar to your JAMStack". In that article, I describe how I used Google's Node libraries to read my event data. While it was mostly painless, authentication was a bit difficult to figure out. A few days I was thinking about this usecase and realized I could probably do it a lot easier making use of Pipedream. How so? Don't forget that Nelify lets you create a build hook. This is a unique URL that when hit with a POST request will trigger a new build. In theory, all I have to do is create a Pipedream workflow that's fired on new events. How is that done?
