Google Calendar Create Event Help

Questions
1

Hi all - I am new and just a few days in so I apologize for the simple question. I am sure I am missing something obvious because it seems so easy.

Describe the problem/error/question

-I have a workflow that has an execute workflow node to execute a second workflow that creates a google calendar event. I am having an issue with the date/time. I can get the entire process to run but it always creates the event for the current date/time.
-The input going into the execute workflow node is [{“query”: “2024-09-01T17:00:00-05:00”}]
-I have attached image of the google calendar node. Basically in start time and end time I have it defined as {{ $json.query }}

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Can’t see the image, but if you use the same start time and end time, it will never start. Events must have a duration, so you need to create an event with an end time that is just the start time + the duration of said event.

Check out Google docs, they are pretty helpful.

Great, thx. I will check those out and look at the time format again. The ISO format looks to be coming in but the event creation just isn’t on the right day. Will circle back.
