Steps:

1. Create a list in UI Design → Display calendar events.
2. The user selects an event from the list.
3. The eventId value of the selected event is passed to the Google Calendar Get Event action.
4. The returned details are displayed in the Table element.

Google Calendar Get Event Advanced Customizations

• Dynamic Usage: Whichever event the user selects, that event information can be displayed instantly.
• Chain Usage: Event details can be transferred to other actions (e.g., Slack Post Message → “Meeting About to Start”).
• Conditional Display: If the event has been canceled, the message “This event has been canceled” can be displayed on the screen.

Technical Risks and Controls

• If calendarId and eventId are not entered correctly, no result will be returned.
• Users cannot view events they do not have permission for.
• If the event has been deleted, an empty result will be returned.
