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.",
  version: "0.1.11",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    db: "$.service.db",
  },
  hooks: {
    async activate() {
      const { items: calendars = [] } = await this.googleCalendar.listCalendars();
      this.emitNewCalendars(calendars);
      const calendarIds = calendars.map((item) => item.id);
      this.setCalendarIds(calendarIds);
    },
    deactivate() {
      this.setCalendarIds([]);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    setCalendarIds(calendarIds) {
      this.db.set("calendarIds", calendarIds);
    },
    getCalendarIds() {
      return this.db.get("calendarIds") || [];
    },
    generateMeta(calendar) {
      const {
        summary,
        id,
      } = calendar;
      return {
        summary,
        id,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
    emitNewCalendars(calendars) {
      const previousCalendarIds = this.getCalendarIds();

      for (const calendar of calendars) {
        if (!previousCalendarIds.includes(calendar.id)) {
          const meta = this.generateMeta(calendar);
          this.$emit(calendar, meta);
        }
      }
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const { items: calendars = [] } = await this.googleCalendar.listCalendars();

    this.emitNewCalendars(calendars);

    const calendarIds = calendars.map((item) => item.id);
    this.setCalendarIds(calendarIds);
  },
  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`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.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.readonlyemailprofile

Triggre Overview#

The Triggre API offers a gateway to interact with the Triggre platform, enabling you to automate processes, manage data, and integrate with other services. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to create powerful serverless workflows, connecting Triggre with numerous other apps to streamline operations, trigger actions based on events, and manipulate data in real-time. This empowers you to build custom, automated solutions that bridge the gap between Triggre and the rest of your tech stack.

      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.triggre.startAutomationFlow({
      $,
      flowName: encodeURI(this.flowName),
      flowNameWithUnderscores: this.flowName.replace(/ /g, "_"),
