# Google Calendar

> View your Google calendars and create, edit, or delete events without leaving the platform.

## What is this?

**Google Calendar** lets you see and manage the events on your Google calendars from inside the platform. It's the **Calendars** tab of the Google panel under **Channels → Google**.

<Info>
  Connect your Google account first — see [Google](/workspace/google/overview). The Google integration needs a plan that includes Google, and your platform administrator must have set up Google OAuth first. Permissions control what you can do: `google:view` to see it, `google:create` to connect an account, `google:edit` to change sync settings, and `google:delete` to remove sheets or disconnect.
</Info>

## What can I do here?

* See all your calendars, with your main one marked **Primary**
* Expand a calendar to view its events, including **All Day** and **Recurring** ones
* Create a **New Event** with attendees, a location, a repeat pattern, and a color
* **Edit** or **Delete** an event
* **Open in Google Calendar** to view an event in Google

## How to use it

### Create and manage events

1. Your calendars are listed, with your main one marked **Primary**. Expand a calendar to see its events. Events show badges such as **All Day** and **Recurring**.
2. Click **New Event** and fill in the event:
   * **Title** (required) and an optional **Description**
   * **All-day event** — turn it on for events that last the whole day; otherwise set the date and time
   * **Location** — for example a room, a Zoom link, or an address
   * **Attendees** — comma-separated email addresses
   * **Repeat** — **Does not repeat**, **Daily**, **Weekly**, **Every 2 weeks**, **Monthly**, or **Yearly**
   * **Color** — Default, Lavender, Sage, Grape, Flamingo, Banana, Tangerine, Peacock, Graphite, Blueberry, Basil, or Tomato
3. Use **Edit** to change an event, **Delete** to remove it, or **Open in Google Calendar** to view it in Google.

<Warning>
  Deleting an event permanently deletes it from your Google Calendar, not just from the platform. You'll be asked to confirm.
</Warning>

### Use calendars in automations

The **Google Calendar** step in the [Automation](/workspace/automation/overview) builder can create events or retrieve appointments.

## Troubleshooting / Technical Notes

* **"No calendars found."** Connect your Google account first, or check that the account has a calendar.
* **"No events found."** The calendar has no events to show.
* **Event creation failed.** Make sure the **Title** is filled in, attendee emails are separated by commas, and your Google connection is still active — use **Reconnect Google Account** on the [Google](/workspace/google/overview) page if not.
* **I deleted an event by mistake.** Deleting removes it from your Google Calendar itself, so restore it from Google Calendar's own trash if you need it back.
* **You can't create or edit events.** You need `google:edit`.
