Google Calendar Connector

Siesta AI - Google Calendar Connector allows you to create and read events in Google Calendar via the official Google Calendar API. The setup of the assistant and the method of delegated access is the same as with the Gmail connector, so the same screens and procedures (OAuth, access assignment, sharing) can be used.

Quick Connection

To create a connection, simply click on Add Connection, select Google Calendar, and the page will automatically redirect to Google login. After logging in, the account is linked.

How to Connect (OAuth, like Gmail)

1. Add Connection -> select GoogleCalendar.
   

2. Google OAuth Login (access to Calendar).
   

3. Confirm Integration Name (internal name).
   

4. Consent to Permissions (Calendar scopes analogous to Gmail).
   

Connector Overview

• Connector Name: GoogleCalendar
• Type: Google Calendar API (REST)
• Authentication: Google OAuth (delegated user access) - details according to internal configuration (beyond the scope of this document)
• Scope/Operations: CreateEventAsync, ListEventsAsync

General Principles

3.1 Time Formats

DateTime parameters use ISO 8601. Recommendation: use explicit time zone (Z for UTC or offset +01:00, +02:00).
Example: 2025-06-21T14:00:00Z

3.2 Default Calendar

If calendarId is not specified, the user's default calendar will be used: primary.

3.3 Recurring Events

Listing events supports the singleEvents option, which determines whether the recurrence is expanded into individual instances.

Detailed API Operations

4.1 CreateEventAsync

Description: Creates an event in the user's Google Calendar (under their Google/Gmail account).

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
summary	String	Yes	Title / subject of the event
startTime	DateTime	Yes	Start of the event (ISO 8601)
endTime	DateTime	Yes	End of the event (ISO 8601)
description	String	No	Description of the event
location	String	No	Location of the event
sendNotifications	Bool	No	Whether to send notifications to participants/user

Validation Notes

• endTime must be strictly after startTime.
• Recommendation: use a consistent time zone for both times.

4.2 ListEventsAsync

Description: Returns a list of events from the user's calendar within the specified time range.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
calendarId	String	No	Calendar ID (default: primary)
timeMin	DateTime	No	Start time for listing (inclusive)
timeMax	DateTime	No	End time for listing (exclusive)
maxResults	Int	No	Maximum number of events (default: 250)
singleEvents	Bool	No	Expand recurrences into instances (default: true)

Recommended Usage

• For stable results, always set timeMin and timeMax.
• If processing recurring meetings in analytics, keep singleEvents=true.

Security and Governance

• Operations run in the context of the user (delegated access via OAuth).
• The connector only works with calendar data within the granted permissions.
• Recommendation: audit and log at least calendarId, time window (timeMin/timeMax) for listing, and parameters summary/startTime/endTime for created events.
