Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Google Chat, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Chat or Google Calendar will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Chat or Google Calendar, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Chat, Google Calendar, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google Chat and Google Calendar integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Chat and Google Calendar (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Chat and Google Calendar
Google Chat + Zoom + Google Calendar: When a new message is received in Google Chat, the flow checks if the message contains the word 'meeting'. If it does, a Zoom meeting is created and a corresponding event is added to Google Calendar.
Google Calendar + Asana + Google Chat: When a new event is added to Google Calendar, a task is created in Asana and a message is sent to a Google Chat space to notify the team about the new task.
