How do I list every Google Calendar I can see?

Short answer: You can list calendars in Google Calendar by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Google Calendar List Calendars action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Calendars.

What does the List Calendars action do in Google Calendar?

Lists all calendars available to the authenticated user (primary, secondary, subscribed) with access role. Used to populate a calendar picker.

What inputs does List Calendars require?

List Calendars has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Google Calendar returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Google Calendar returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does List Calendars support batch operations?

Run List Calendars inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Google Calendar's rate limits.
