Permissions required

This action needs the Manage Calendar events capability on the Google connection (OAuth scope calendar.events). If the user unchecked it during the wizard, the run fails with 403 — open the connection card, click Reconnect Google, re-check Manage Calendar events.

Notes

• The action posts with sendUpdates=all, so attendees are emailed when the event is created. A silent-insert option isn't exposed yet — if you need it, use the API directly or open a request for an extra input.
• Events are created on the user's primary calendar only. Shared / secondary calendars are not supported yet.
• Times must be ISO 8601 with offset (+03:00 or Z). Without an offset Google rejects the call as Invalid time format.
• All-day events (date-only, no time) are not supported on this action — pass full timestamps.

Example use cases

• Form → meeting — API Trigger receives a booking form → Create Calendar Event for the requested slot, attendees = booker + you.
• Telegram → standup — /standup command in a chat creates a 15-minute calendar slot tomorrow with the team list.
• Helper flow scheduling — a parent flow gathers a list of pending tasks and a helper flow creates one event per task.
