[Google Calendar] Create Event
The [Google Calendar] Create Event block adds a new event to a specified Google Calendar.
Create new events directly on Google Calendar
The [Google Calendar] Create Event block adds a new event to a specified Google Calendar. It accepts a title (summary), optional description, location, start and end times in ISO 8601 format, and an optional list of attendee email addresses entered one per line. You can also choose to attach a Google Meet link to the event automatically, and specify which calendar to target using a calendar ID — if none is provided, the primary calendar is used by default.
The block requires a Google OAuth connection with Calendar events scope and returns two output values: the unique event ID assigned by Google Calendar and a direct URL (htmlLink) to view the event in the browser. These outputs can be stored in a variable for use later in the workflow, such as sending confirmation messages or logging event details.
This block fits into workflows that involve scheduling, coordination, or automated calendar management. Common scenarios include booking flows where a user submits a form and an event is created in response, automated meeting scheduling triggered by upstream logic, or multi-step workflows that create calendar entries as part of a broader process like onboarding or project kickoff.

Get Started FreeCommon questions about [Google Calendar] Create Event
What parameters are required to create an event?
The required parameters are a Google OAuth connection ID, an event title (summary), a start date/time, and an end date/time. Both date/time values must be provided in ISO 8601 format, for example '2025-07-02T10:00:00-07:00'. All other fields — description, location, attendees, Meet link, and calendar ID — are optional.
What does the block return after creating an event?
The block returns a JSON object containing two fields: eventId, which is the unique identifier assigned to the event by Google Calendar, and htmlLink, which is the URL to view the event directly in Google Calendar. These can be stored in a workflow variable using the destinationVar field.
How do I add multiple attendees to the event?
Attendees are specified as a single string with one email address per line. Each line should contain one valid email address, and the block will register all of them as attendees on the created event.
Can the block attach a Google Meet link to the event?
Yes. Setting the addMeetLink field to true will automatically attach a Google Meet video call link to the event at creation time.
What kinds of workflows commonly use this block?
This block is commonly used in scheduling and coordination workflows, such as booking flows triggered by form submissions, automated interview or meeting scheduling, client onboarding sequences, and project setup workflows that need to place calendar events as part of a larger automated process.
