  • calendarId (String – required): The calendar ID where the event is located.
  • eventId (String – required): The ID of the event to be deleted.

1. Defining the Action in UI Design

• Open your project on the Kuika platform.
• In the UI Design module, select the screen where you want to perform the event deletion.
• Add a button (e.g., “Delete Event”).
• Select the button and add the OnClick → Google → Google Calendar Delete Event action from the + ADD ACTION menu.

2. Configuring Parameters

• settings (required): Select the defined settings for Google integration.
• calendarId (required): E.g.: primary.
• eventId (required): The ID of the event to be deleted (can be obtained from previous actions or the Google Calendar API).

Use Case: Meeting Cancellation

In a project management application, this action can be used when a user wants to cancel a previously created event.

Steps:

1. Add a list in UI Design → Events in the calendar.
2. The user selects an event from the list.
3. When the “Delete Event” button is clicked, the Google Calendar Delete Event action is triggered.
4. The event is removed from Google Calendar.

Google Calendar Delete Event Advanced Customizations

• Dynamic Deletion: Different events can be deleted based on user selections.
• Chain Usage: After the event is deleted, a “Meeting canceled” notification can be sent to the team using the Slack Post Message action.
• Conditional Deletion: Conditions can be added so that only future events are deleted.

Technical Risks and Controls

• If calendarId and eventId are not entered correctly, the operation will fail.
• If user access permissions are missing, the action will not work.
• Deleted events cannot be recovered, so it is recommended to display a confirmation prompt to the user.
