Hi @linc0ln

you can’t “find” the ID in the empty node settings. you have to actually execute the trigger first.

  1. open your trigger node (google calendar or whatever).
  2. click “Test step” (or “Execute Node”).
  3. wait for it to pull real data.
  4. look at the OUTPUT panel on the right. the id will be there.

once you see it there, you can drag-and-drop it into the next node.
about the missing AI button: if it’s gone in your new projects, are you on a self-hosted instance?

Hi @linc0ln Welcome!
Can you please share your workflow JSON with us and the aim you are trying to achieve, we can help you better with that information. Although what you trying to do is to add tools to AI agent where AI decides the inputs for the tools, for this you need to click on that star icon on the right of every input.

hi thnk you for responding,

im using the cloud base version, what am i partically looking for when i find the id becuases theres multiple ones?

no wait i was looking at something else

it wont allow me to excute the n8n node inside my workflow becuase i need the event id it keeps showing a error when i excute it is there another way of getting itt?

you can’t execute the node that needs the id to find the id. that’s a dead end

you’ll see a list of events. the field is usually just called id — nothing fancy like event_google_id. just id drag that id field into your broken node.

hey, you have to make the trigger excute first so the id will pop out
and make sure also you always fill the field before you excute the trigger
