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.",

    async activate() {
      const { items: calendars = [] } = await this.googleCalendar.listCalendars();
      this.emitNewCalendars(calendars);
      const calendarIds = calendars.map((item) => item.id);
      this.setCalendarIds(calendarIds);
    },

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.readonly

About Google Calendar#

PrintNode Overview#

The PrintNode API on Pipedream allows you to integrate cloud printing capabilities into workflows. It supports automating print jobs, managing printers, and querying printer status. With Pipedream's ability to connect to hundreds of apps, you can trigger print jobs from emails, forms, databases, or custom events. The API's functions can be weaved into broader business processes to streamline document handling.
