How do I list upcoming Google Calendar events?

Short answer: You can list events in Google Calendar by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Google Calendar List Events action to a workflow, map its 5 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 Events.

What does the List Events action do in Google Calendar?

Lists upcoming events from a Google Calendar with time filters (timeMin/timeMax) and query string. Used for daily-agenda emails, prep-doc generation, or scheduling assistants.

What inputs does List Events require?

Required: Calendar ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

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 Events support batch operations?

Run List Events 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.
