How to set up and use New or Updated Google Calendar Event Trigger

Run the workflow when a Google Calendar event is created or updated. Follow these steps:

  1. Add a New or Updated Google Calendar Event Trigger: Create a workflow with a New or Updated Google Calendar Event Trigger, use an existing workflow with a New or Updated Google Calendar Event Trigger, or change an existing workflow's trigger type to a New or Updated Google Calendar Event Trigger.

  2. Add Google Calendar connection: If you haven't already, connect your Google Calendar account to Cassidy.

  3. Toggle "Trigger on new events only" (optional): If you want the workflow to only trigger for new events, enable "Trigger on new events only". If disabled, the workflow will also trigger for updated events.

  4. Select specific calendars (optional): In the Optional Fields section, you can select specific calendars to monitor. If no calendars are selected, the trigger will listen to your default calendar.

  5. Reference the Google Calendar variables: In the rest of your Workflow, you can use the following variables from the New or Updated Google Calendar Event Trigger:

    • Event ID: The unique identifier of the calendar event

    • Title: The title or subject of the calendar event

    • Description: The description or details of the calendar event

    • Created Date: The date this event was created

    • Updated Date: The date this event was updated

    • Calendar Event Link: The link to this calendar event

    • Start Date: When the event begins

    • End Date: When the event ends

    • Creator Email: The email of the creator of the event

    • Organizer Email: The email of the organizer of the event

    • Attendees: List of people invited to the event

  6. Activate the trigger: In the New or Updated Google Calendar Event Trigger block, click the toggle switch to turn it on.
