Import event - Automate.ax

importEvent preserves an existing cross-system iCalendar UID during a migration or synchronization. It imports an event silently; it is not a replacement for creating and inviting guests.

Example

import { automation, onHttpRequest } from "automate.ax"
import { importEvent } from "automate.ax/google-calendar"

export default automation("Import a legacy event", () => {
  onHttpRequest({ scope: "automation" })

  importEvent({
    calendar: "Imported Events",
    iCalUID: "legacy-42@example.com",
    summary: "Legacy planning session",
    schedule: { startDate: "2026-08-10" },
  })
})

Inputs

iCalUID, summary, and schedule are required. All event-detail fields from Create event are supported except createMeet and sendUpdates; calendar defaults to primary and account selects the Google account.

Output

Returns the imported CalendarEvent; see Get event. Google does not send invitations for imported attendee data. The iCalUID is a cross-calendar identity, while later Calendar actions use the returned provider id.
