How do I trigger when a Google Calendar event ends?

Short answer: Drop the "Google Calendar → Event Ended" trigger on your workflow canvas, add filters if you want them, and publish. It fires within seconds of the event in Google Calendar, not on a polling schedule.

for the curious

You don’t need to read this. Tiny Command auto-maps every field into the visual picker so downstream nodes can pull values by clicking. We show it here for power users who want to know what’s on the wire.

FAQ

Questions about Event Ended.

How does the Event Ended trigger work in Google Calendar?

Fires when an event in the selected Google Calendar ends. Polls for events whose end time falls inside the most recent polling window. Use to follow up after a meeting or to kick off a recording/summary pipeline.

Is the Event Ended trigger real-time?

Yes. Event Ended uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Google Calendar.

What data does Event Ended return?

The full event payload from Google Calendar. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter Event Ended so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Google Calendar admin permissions to use Event Ended?

For most Google Calendar accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Google Calendar plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Google Calendar's docs if the trigger fails to register.
