Check Availability

The Check Availability action checks one calendar for busy periods between two times. Use it before scheduling an event, offering an appointment, or continuing a workflow only when a calendar is free.

Quick start

Connect Google Calendar

Choose the Google account whose calendar you want to check.

Set the time window

Provide Starting At and Ending At, then choose the Timezone used for the availability request.

Choose a calendar

Leave Calendar ID empty to check the account’s primary calendar, or enter another calendar’s ID.

Use the result

Route Is Available? into conditional logic. Inspect Busy Periods when you need the exact conflicts.

Troubleshooting

The wrong calendar was checked

Calendar ID defaults to the account’s primary calendar. Supply the intended calendar ID when checking a shared, team, or secondary calendar.

Google reports a calendar error

Confirm that the connected account can access the Calendar ID and that the account still has a Calendar free/busy or read scope.
