Use Google Calendar when you want a workflow step to create events, list upcoming meetings, find events, or update calendar entries from a connected account.

​
Configuration

Before you configure this step, connect Google Calendar in Integrations for your workspace using the OAuth flow. If no active connection is available, the step shows a warning with a link to Integrations instead of the account selector.

​
Arguments form

When you select an action, the Arguments section automatically renders a form driven by the action’s input schema. Each field includes:
  • A label and description from the action’s schema.
  • An Insert Variable button next to eligible fields that injects references like {{step_1.output.id}} at the cursor position.
  • Validation feedback inline if a required field is left empty.
Switch to the Raw JSON tab for power users or when you prefer to write the full arguments object by hand. Changes in either tab stay in sync.

​
Common actions

Destructive actions such as deleting calendars or events are not exposed in the workflow action picker.

​
Output

This step stores the Google Calendar API response as the step output. The shape of the response depends on the action. Use the full output reference in later steps:
For example, after a Create Event step you might reference the new event ID:

​
Example

  1. Open Integrations and connect Google Calendar if you have not already done that.
  2. Add a Google Calendar step to your workflow.
  3. Select a connected account in Authentication.
  4. Choose Create Event in Action.
  5. In the Arguments form, fill in the event title, start time, and end time. Use Insert Variable to reference an earlier step’s output for any field value.
  6. Click Run in the step header to test the action, then review the returned payload in Output.

​
Notes

  • This step depends on a connected Google Calendar integration in your workspace.
  • The workflow action picker shows a curated subset of calendar actions. Agents with the Google Calendar tool can access the full toolkit.
  • OAuth may show third-party authorization branding during the connect flow.

Using Google Calendar as an Agent Tool

You can also add Google Calendar as a tool in the Agent Editor. Open the agent, click Add tool, and select Google Calendar. In the tool settings panel, choose the connected account the agent should use. The agent will call calendar actions automatically during conversations when relevant.
