1.1 Workflow description

Title
Manage Google Calendar events with OpenAI Assistant (Get, create, delete)
Workflow name
Manage Google Calendar events with OpenAI Assistant (Get, create, delete)

What this workflow does

Provides the tools layer for the Parent agent to manage Google Calendar: Get (list events), Create, and Delete. Accepts text + sessionid from the Parent and uses an LLM with short-term memory to choose and run the correct tool.

Pipeline: Execute Workflow Trigger → Sub-Agent → (Get / Create / Delete) → Google Calendar

Category: Productivity / Calendar / Agentic
Time to set up: ~10 minutes
Difficulty: Intermediate
Cost: Mostly free (n8n CE; OpenAI + Google Calendar usage as configured)


What you'll need

  • OpenAI credentials.

  • Google Calendar OAuth2 credentials.

  • A calendar ID (use a placeholder like [email protected] in the node and select your actual calendar at runtime).


Set up steps

  1. Import this Sub-Agent workflow.

  2. Open the Google Calendar tool nodes (Get, Create, Delete) and select your OAuth2 credential and calendar.

  3. Ensure the Execute Workflow Trigger exposes two inputs: text and sessionid.

  4. Connect the Parent's toolWorkflow node to this workflow.


Testing (direct call example)

  • From the Parent, send: "Schedule 'Team Sync' tomorrow 10:00--11:00" → Sub-Agent should call Create.

  • "List events next week" → Get with timeMin/timeMax.

  • "Delete event 'Team Sync'" → Delete with eventId once matched.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/7787/7787.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
