output

Read a single event from your primary Google Calendar by id. Useful when a flow only has the id (e.g. from a vault, from a previous Create Event run, from a Telegram callback) and needs the current state of the event.

Inputs

Input	Type	Description
eventId	string	Required. The event id (returned by Create / List Event).

Outputs

Output	Type	Description
summary	string	Event title.
description	string	Event description.
location	string	Event location.
start	string	ISO 8601 datetime (or date only for all-day events).
end	string	ISO 8601 datetime (or date only for all-day events).
attendees	string	Comma-separated list of attendee emails — same format Update / Create accept on input.
htmlLink	string	Link to the event in Google Calendar UI.
error	string	Empty on success. Contains Google's error message when status is ERROR.

The output set is intentionally flat (no nested JSON) so flow authors can drag fields straight into other actions. For raw JSON access, use List Calendar Events (which returns the same simplified shape inside events).

Permissions required

Manage Calendar events capability (calendar.events). Reconnect with the box checked if it's missing.

Example use cases

Refresh state before reschedule — pull the current start/end, compare with the requested change, only PATCH if it actually differs.
Format event into Telegram message — Get → Compose → Telegram Bot send.
Validate before delete — Get; if summary no longer matches a known prefix, skip Delete.

Errors you might see

`error` output	Meaning
`eventId is required`	The `eventId` input was empty / whitespace.
`Not Found`	No event with that id on the primary calendar.
`Insufficient Permission`	Connection lacks `calendar.events`. Reconnect with the box checked.
`Google connection has been revoked — reconnect it from the Connections page.`	The user revoked Fainflow on Google's side, or refresh token expired.
