## When to use this node

Updates an existing event.

Add **Update Google Calendar Event** to a workflow branch using the node picker. Configure its fields in the inspector, then connect the next step.

## Before you begin

Connect Google Workspace in **App Connections** first. Select the intended account in this node; an account connected to a different service is not interchangeable. Available actions depend on the permissions granted to that connection.

## Configure the fields

| Field | What to enter |
| --- | --- |
| **Google Account** | Returned from integration |
| **Calendar ID** | Usually 'primary'<br>Example/default shown in the editor: `primary`. |
| **Event ID** | The event to update |
| **Title** | Updated title |
| **Description** | Updated description |
| **Start Time** | ISO format or 'now' for current time, or 'now + N' for N minutes from now (e.g., 'now + 30') |
| **End Time** | ISO format or 'now' for current time, or 'now + N' for N minutes from now (e.g., 'now + 60') |
| **Time Zone** | IANA timezone name (NOT UTC+offset format). Examples: UTC, America/Toronto, Asia/Dubai, Europe/London, America/New_York<br>Example/default shown in the editor: `UTC`. |

## Use the result

Choose the output from the variable picker in a later step. Output names below identify the values supplied by this node; the picker inserts the correct reference for your node instance.

| Output | Meaning / label |
| --- | --- |
| `result` | Event Status |
| `info` | Update Info |

## Connect the next step

Connect the continuation shown on the canvas. Some nodes calculate their branches from the configured options. Read each branch label in the editor and connect the paths your workflow needs.

## Test it in a workflow

1. Configure this node with a small, recognizable test input or a test resource.
2. Check the variables from preceding steps and the connection selected in the inspector.
3. Save the workflow. For event-driven flows, generate the actual event; use **Run** only for a Manual workflow.
4. Open **Workflow Activity** and check the outcome before enabling wider use.

## If something goes wrong

- Reconnect the account if authorization has expired, then verify its permissions on the specific resource.
- Check empty variables, selected resource IDs, and any fields that appeared after resource selection.
- Check the failed step in Workflow Activity before retrying. If the action may already have completed, inspect the destination first to avoid duplicates.
- Follow the [troubleshooting guide](/help/troubleshooting/) for a symptom-by-symptom checklist.
