Google Calendar Modifier

This component helps you manage your Google Calendar events directly from Nappai’s dashboard. You can easily create new events, change existing ones, or remove events without leaving the Nappai interface.

Relationship with Google Calendar API

This component connects to your Google Calendar using your Google account credentials. It uses the Google Calendar API to perform actions like adding, updating, and deleting events. You’ll need to authorize Nappai to access your Google Calendar.

Inputs

  • Calendar: Choose the Google Calendar where you want to add, update, or delete events from a dropdown list. You can refresh the list to see the latest calendars.
  • Event Summary: Enter the title or summary of your event.
  • Start Time: Enter the event’s start time using the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AM/PM TZ (e.g., 2024-12-25 02:00:00 PM UTC). A default time is provided.
  • End Time: Enter the event’s end time using the same format as the Start Time. A default time is provided.
  • Description (Advanced): Add a detailed description of your event (optional).
  • Location (Advanced): Specify the location of your event (optional).
  • Events: Use this input to provide data for updating or deleting existing events. This is an advanced feature.
  • Operation: Select whether you want to Create, Update, or Delete events from a dropdown menu. The default is “Create”.
  • Credential: Select the Google account credentials you wish to use to access your Google Calendar.

Outputs

  • Event Result: This output shows the result of the operation (e.g., “Event created successfully,” “Event updated successfully,” or an error message). This helps you verify if the action was completed successfully.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want to add a meeting to your calendar. You would:

  1. Select your calendar from the Calendar dropdown.
  2. Enter the meeting title in Event Summary.
  3. Enter the start and end times in the Start Time and End Time fields.
  4. (Optional) Add a description and location.
  5. Leave Operation as the default “CREATE”.
  6. Select your Google account credentials.
  7. Run the component. The Event Result will tell you if the event was added successfully.

Templates

[List of templates where this component is used will be added here once available]

  • Google Drive File Manager: Useful for attaching files to your calendar events after creating them.
  • Google Sheet Writer: You can use this component to automatically populate a Google Sheet with information about your calendar events.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Always double-check your start and end times to avoid scheduling conflicts.
  • Use the description and location fields to provide as much detail as possible for better event organization.
  • For updating or deleting multiple events, you’ll need to use the advanced “Events” input. This requires specific data formatting, so refer to the advanced documentation for details.

Security Considerations

Nappai uses OAuth 2.0 to securely connect to your Google Calendar. You will only grant Nappai access to the specific permissions needed to manage your calendar events. Ensure you are using strong and unique passwords for your Google account.
