Overview
Use the Google Calendar trigger to launch automations whenever calendar events change. Common use cases include briefing a team before a meeting, notifying stakeholders when a critical event is cancelled, or summarizing daily schedules.Make sure Google Calendar is connected in Tools & Integrations and enabled for the deployment you want to automate.
Enabling the Google Calendar Trigger
- Open your deployment in CrewAI AMP
- Go to the Triggers tab
- Locate Google Calendar and switch the toggle to enable

Example: Summarize meeting details
The snippet below mirrors thecalendar-event-crew.py
example in the trigger repository. It parses the payload, analyses the attendees and timing, and produces a meeting brief for downstream tools.
crewai_trigger_payload
exactly as it is delivered by the trigger so the crew can extract the proper fields.
Sample payloads & crews
The Google Calendar examples show how to handle multiple event types:new-event.json
→ standard event creation handled bycalendar-event-crew.py
event-updated.json
/event-started.json
/event-ended.json
→ in-flight updates processed bycalendar-meeting-crew.py
event-canceled.json
→ cancellation workflow that alerts attendees viacalendar-meeting-crew.py
- Working location events use
calendar-working-location-crew.py
to extract on-site schedules
Monitoring Executions
The Executions list in the deployment dashboard tracks every triggered run and surfaces payload metadata, output summaries, and errors.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the correct Google account is connected and the trigger is enabled
- Confirm your workflow handles all-day events (payloads use
start.date
andend.date
instead of timestamps) - Check execution logs if reminders or attendee arrays are missing—calendar permissions can limit fields in the payload
