Google Calendar modules and their fields

When you configure Google Calendar modules, Workfront Fusion displays the fields listed below. Along with these, additional Google Calendar fields might display, depending on factors such as your access level in the app or service. A bolded title in a module indicates a required field.

If you see the map button above a field or function, you can use it to set variables and functions for that field. For more information, see Map information from one module to another.

Triggers
Actions
Iterators

Watch events

This trigger module executes a scenario when a new event is added, updated, deleted, started, or ended in the calendar you specify. The module returns all standard fields associated with the record or records, along with any custom fields and values that the connection accesses. You can map this information in subsequent modules in the scenario.

When you are configuring this module, the following fields display.

Watch

Query

Maximum number of events

Set the maximum number of events that Workfront Fusion works with during one cycle (the number of repetitions per scenario run). If the value is set too high, the connection may be interrupted on the side of the given third-party service (timeout). Workfront Fusion has no influence on this. We recommend that you set a lower value and either define a higher value for the maximum number of cycles or run the scenario more frequently.

Watch events (Instant)

This trigger module uses a mailhook to create an email address that you can use as an invitee to events. The module starts a scenario based on events that the email address is invited to.

Mailhook

Select the mailhook that you want to use for this module. To create a new mailhooke, click Add and enter the connection you want to use for the mailhook.
