Pipedream Google Calendar → n8n

6 Pipedream Google Calendar actions and 8 event sources, and the n8n nodes they become. Converted nodes keep your configured values; expressions like {{steps.x.$return_value}} are rewritten to n8n expressions. Pipedream app slug: google_calendar.

Actions

Pipedream action	n8n	Fit	Notes
google_calendar-create-event	Google Calendar event → create	Check output	n8n v1.3 'start'/'end' are required dateTime params (defaults $now / $now+1h if missing). useDefaultReminders true = calendar default reminders (same as PD, which sends no reminders). calendar is an expression that falls back to 'primary' (PD default) when…
google_calendar-quick-add-event	Http Request	Check output	n8n Google Calendar node has no quickAdd operation -> HTTP Request to the endpoint PD calls (events.quickAdd, POST, text as query param, no body). The calendar id in the URL falls back to 'primary' (PD default) and is URL-encoded (ids like…
google_calendar-list-events	Google Calendar event → getAll	Check output	PD rejects orderBy=startTime without singleEvents; in n8n use recurringEventHandling 'expand' with orderBy 'startTime'. privateExtendedProperty / sharedExtendedProperty / eventTypes have no n8n option (use HTTP Request GET…
google_calendar-update-event	Google Calendar event → update	Check output	PD does a full PUT (events.update) re-sending summary/location/description/start/end/attendees/recurrence with fallbacks to current values (other fields such as colorId, reminders or conference data are dropped by the PUT); n8n PATCHes only the given fields,…
google_calendar-get-event	Google Calendar event → get	Direct	calendar is an expression that falls back to 'primary' (PD default) when calendarId is unset; a calendarId given as a PD expression must be rewritten by hand.
google_calendar-delete-event	Google Calendar event → delete	Direct	calendar is an expression that falls back to 'primary' (PD default) when calendarId is unset; a calendarId given as a PD expression must be rewritten by hand.

Triggers (event sources)

Pipedream trigger	n8n	Fit	Notes
google_calendar-new-or-updated-event-instant	Google Calendar Trigger	Check output	PD is push-based (events.watch + sync token); n8n polls (updatedMin = last check, orderBy updated, showDeleted false) at pollTimes - pollTimes is mandatory for this trigger (it throws 'Please set a poll time' otherwise). Cancelled events are excluded in…
google_calendar-event-cancelled	Google Calendar Trigger	Check output	PD queries with singleEvents=true (cancelled single instances of recurring events emitted as instances); n8n queries without singleEvents, so cancelled recurring-instance exceptions arrive as exception items and fully deleted series as one master.
google_calendar-event-ended	Google Calendar Trigger	Check output	PD only considers timed events (end.dateTime); n8n also fires for all-day events (end.date at midnight in the calendar tz). Both expand recurring events (singleEvents=true).
google_calendar-new-event-search	Google Calendar Trigger	Check output	Both poll events.list with updatedMin + q and keep events created since the last run. PD uses singleEvents=true (a new recurring event is emitted once per instance in range); n8n emits the recurring master once.
google_calendar-upcoming-event-alert-polling	Google Calendar Trigger	Partial	No exact n8n trigger for 'N minutes before start'. eventStarted is only equivalent for minutesBefore = 0. PD skips cancelled events and dedupes per event start.
google_calendar-event-start	Google Calendar Trigger	Partial	REMOVED from Pipedream on 2024-07-29 (commit 50f1d5c3 'Usability Audit Google Calendar'); last state at 96fcaea1. Successor: google_calendar-upcoming-event-alert-polling.
google_calendar-new-event	Google Calendar Trigger	Check output	REMOVED from Pipedream on 2024-07-29 (commit 50f1d5c3); last state at 96fcaea1. PD used singleEvents=true (recurring instances emitted individually); n8n emits the master once.
google_calendar-new-or-updated-event	Google Calendar Trigger	Check output	REMOVED from Pipedream on 2024-07-29 (commit 50f1d5c3); last state at 96fcaea1. Successor: google_calendar-new-or-updated-event-instant. PD = created OR updated: add a second trigger node identical except triggerOn 'eventCreated' (n8n eventUpdated skips…

Credentials

Create a Google Calendar credential in n8n (type googleCalendarOAuth2Api). Converted nodes reference it by name, so n8n links it on import when the names match. Pipedream connected accounts can't be exported and are deleted by April 30, 2027.

What "Fit" means

Direct: same operation, same inputs. Check output: the n8n node returns a different JSON shape, so later steps that read its result need a look. Partial: some options have no n8n equivalent. Mappings verified on 2026-10-13 against the Pipedream registry and n8n source.

Questions

Does n8n have a Google Calendar node?+

Yes. 5 of the 6 Pipedream Google Calendar actions listed here map to a native n8n node; 1 map to n8n's HTTP Request node with the Google Calendar credential.

Will my Pipedream Google Calendar connection move to n8n?+

No. Pipedream exports only an account ID, never the token, and deletes connected accounts by April 30, 2027. Create a Google Calendar credential in n8n (type googleCalendarOAuth2Api) and select it on the converted nodes.

Are Pipedream Google Calendar triggers supported in n8n?+

8 of the 8 Pipedream Google Calendar event sources listed here have an n8n trigger node. The rest are rebuilt with a Schedule Trigger that polls the API, or a Webhook node.

What happens to code steps that call the Google Calendar API?+

Code steps keep working through a compatibility layer, and tokens read via this.<app>.$auth move to a secrets block in the Code node. Steps that use an npm SDK are rewritten to plain HTTP calls so they run on n8n Cloud.
