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.

import googleCalendar from "../../google_calendar.app.mjs";

export default {
