# Google Calendar

Connect **Google Calendar** to Riff to automate digests, scheduling, and event prep. Riff handles the OAuth, stores tokens securely, and wires Calendar into your apps, automations, and agents.

### What you can build (fast)

* Daily/weekly event digests to Slack or email
* Focus time schedulers
* Event preparation briefs

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th align="center"></th><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-cover data-type="image">Cover image</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center">Calendar Daily Digest</td><td>Create a Calendar Daily Digest that reads selected Google Calendars for the next 24 hours and posts a morning schedule to Slack with event links.

### Prerequisites

* Google account with access to relevant calendars
* A Riff workspace (sign-in at useriff.ai)

### Connect Google Calendar to Riff (two easy ways)

**Let the agent drive** — Agent prompts, you approve once, quick test runs.\
**Add proactively** — **+ More → Integrations → Google Workspace**, authorise.

Riff uses OAuth; tokens are stored securely and handled by the Integrations system.

### How Riff wires Calendar for you (under the hood)

* Sets up OAuth and stores tokens in **Secrets/Integrations**
* Adds minimal scopes, verifies, test action
* Exposes Calendar to tasks, automations, and agents

### Security notes

* Calendars may include personal schedules and private appointments
* Frontend never sees secrets
* Least-privilege scopes

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.riff.ai/archive/integrations-legacy-saas-connectors/native-integrations/google-calendar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
