Google Calendar

NocoDB connects to Google Calendar, so you can start workflows from calendar events in your bases. With the Google Calendar integration, a workflow starts when a new event is created on a calendar.

Ask NocoAI

Copy a prompt, paste it into NocoAI in any base, and replace the words in [brackets] with your own.

  • When a new event is created in Google Calendar, add it to [Events]
  • When a new Google Calendar event is created, create a [Meeting Notes] record for it
  • When a new event is created in [my work calendar], email [my team] the details

Prerequisites


At this time, the Google Calendar node in NocoDB supports one trigger:

  • New Event Created

Trigger

New Event Created

Use this trigger to start a workflow when a new event is created on a selected Google Calendar.

Configuration

  • Google Calendar Account: Select the connected Google Calendar account. For setup instructions, refer to Integrations. You must add at least one Google Calendar integration to use this feature.

  • Calendar: Select the calendar to monitor for new events. The default is the primary calendar.

Output Data

When the trigger fires, later workflow steps can use this event data:

  • Event details: id, status, summary, description, location, htmlLink
  • Timestamps: created, updated
  • Creator & Organizer: email, displayName
  • Start & End time: date, dateTime, timeZone
  • Attendees: email, displayName, responseStatus, optional, organiser
  • Additional: hangoutLink, conferenceData, recurringEventId

Testing the Trigger

The Google Calendar trigger has a Test Step option.

Use it to:

  • Make sure that the credentials and configuration are correct
  • Make sure that the webhook gets event data
  • Test with sample data, or create a real calendar event

Notes & Limitations

  • When you publish the workflow, NocoDB automatically creates the webhook. When you unpublish the workflow, NocoDB removes the webhook.
  • At this time, the only supported trigger event is the creation of a new event.
  • The authenticated Google account must have access to the selected calendar.
