How It Works

The Get Event node integrates with Google Calendar to retrieve a specific event by its ID. When executed, the node:

  1. Validates the provided inputs (Calendar ID and Event ID)
  2. Authenticates with Google Calendar using the provided credentials
  3. Retrieves the specified event from the calendar
  4. Returns the complete event object as the result

Requirements

  • A valid Google Calendar account
  • Valid Google Calendar credentials
  • Valid Calendar ID (email address or calendar ID)
  • Valid Event ID of the event to retrieve

Error Handling

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Event ID
  • Empty or invalid Calendar ID
  • Empty or invalid Google Calendar credentials
  • Google Calendar service errors (e.g., event not found)

Usage Notes

  • The Calendar ID can be an email address or calendar ID. If not provided, the primary calendar is used.
  • The Event ID is required and must be a valid event identifier from Google Calendar
  • The result contains the complete event object with all its properties like summary, description, start time, end time, attendees, etc.
  • This node is useful when you need to retrieve detailed information about a specific event
