Import event - Automate.ax

googleCalendar.importEvent preserves an iCalendar unique identifier during migration or synchronization. It imports silently and doesn’t invite guests.

Example

import { automation, onDashboardRun } from "automate.ax"
import { googleCalendar } from "automate.ax/google-calendar"

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

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

Inputs

Provide iCalUID, summary, and schedule. You can use all event-detail fields from Create event except createMeet and sendUpdates. calendar defaults to primary and second argument { account } selects the Google Account.

Output

Returns the imported CalendarEvent. See Get event. Google doesn’t send invitations for imported attendee data. The iCalUID is a cross-calendar identity, while later Calendar actions use the returned provider id.
