How Zapier works
Zapier makes it easy to integrate AWS Lambda with Google Calendar - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.
Choose a trigger
A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Function" from AWS Lambda.
Add your action
An action happens after the trigger—such as "Add Attendee(s) to Event" in Google Calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions about AWS Lambda + Google Calendar integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with AWS Lambda and Google Calendar
How can I trigger an AWS Lambda function from a new event in Google Calendar?
To trigger an AWS Lambda function when a new event is created in Google Calendar, you can use our platform to set up a 'New Event' as the trigger and then configure an action to invoke your AWS Lambda function. This setup will automatically run the specified lambda function whenever a new event is detected in your calendar.
Can AWS Lambda update an existing Google Calendar event?
Yes, our integration allows AWS Lambda functions to perform actions like updating existing events in Google Calendar. You'll need to set up a specific function with input parameters corresponding to the event details you plan to update, such as time, description, or attendees.
What permission settings are required for Google Calendar and AWS Lambda integration?
Integrating AWS Lambda with Google Calendar requires you to grant permissions for both services. You must ensure that your Google Calendar account is accessible with read/write permissions and configure IAM roles with adequate permissions for your lambda functions to be executed securely on AWS.
Is it possible to automatically delete a Google Calendar event using AWS Lambda when another related service triggers it?
Yes, you can set up an action in our platform where upon receiving a trigger from another service linked through lambda, it automatically deletes or modifies an event on your Google Calendar using the appropriate API calls integrated via lambda.
How do we handle errors or failures during AWS Lambda execution triggered by Google Calendar events?
To handle errors during execution of AWS Lambda triggered by events from Google Calendar, you can integrate logging and retry mechanisms within your lambda function. Monitoring solutions provided by AWS CloudWatch can be used to track executions and diagnose issues effectively.
Can we create recurring events in Google Calendar through an AWS Lambda action?
Yes, creating recurring events is possible through our integration. You can configure a lambda function with the necessary recurrence rules (such as daily or weekly patterns) which will be applied when creating new calendar entries via the API.
Are there limitations on the number of requests between AWS Lambda and Google Calendars within integrations?
While both platforms have high thresholds for request processing, it’s essential to adhere to Google's API rate limits and manage concurrency settings in your lambda configurations properly. Our documentation provides guidance on optimizing these factors effectively.
