Google Calendar

​

Connect

1. In Google Cloud, enable the Google Calendar API and create OAuth credentials for a Desktop app.
2. Put the credentials at ~/.arden/gmail_credentials.json, or import them with the setup assistant in Settings → Integrations.
3. Open the Google Calendar card and click Connect. Arden opens a local browser consent flow and stores an account-specific token under ~/.arden/.

Troubleshooting

• API not enabled / 403 – enable the Google Calendar API in the OAuth project’s API library.

Event-driven automations

Create an automation that triggers 15 minutes before any calendar event.
It should recall memory about the attendees and summarize recent interactions.
