The Create Event action adds a timed event to Google Calendar. It can set the event’s details, invite multiple attendees, and optionally send Google Calendar notifications.

​
Quick start

1

Connect Google Calendar

Choose a Google account with permission to create calendar events.
2

Describe the event

Set Summary, Starting At, Ending At, and Timezone. Add a description or location when they help attendees.
3

Add attendees

Add one Attendees item for each email address that should be invited.
4

Use the created event

Pass Event ID to later Calendar actions or send Event Link to a person who needs to open the event.

​
Inputs

​
Outputs

Send Notifications defaults to on. Turn it off before testing with real attendee addresses if you do not want Google to email them.

​
Example: schedule an approved request

After a meeting request is approved, check the requested time with Check Availability. If the calendar is free, create the event and include the returned Event Link in a confirmation email to the requester. Use the same start, end, Calendar ID, and timezone for the availability check and event creation so the event is written to the calendar you checked.

​
Troubleshooting

Empty Calendar ID means the connected account’s primary calendar. Supply the target calendar ID for shared or secondary calendars.
Every attendee must be a valid email address. Remove names or surrounding text and pass only the email address.
