How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

Action

Setup guide

1

Add Google Calendar credential in Latenode

Add a new credential for Google Calendar in the Latenode Credentials panel. Connect your Google account using OAuth to authorize Latenode to access your Google Calendar.

2

Configure Google Calendar search node

Add a Google Calendar Search node to your workflow. In the node settings, map the search query parameter to your desired input, such as an text input node. Customize any other settings as needed, like the calendar to search.

3

Configure Google Calendar quick add node

Add a Google Calendar Quick Add node after the search node. In the node settings, map the event details (title, description, date/time) from the search results to the corresponding quick add fields.

4

Handle Google Calendar authentication

If the workflow requires accessing a Google Calendar that needs authentication (e.g. a shared or private calendar), configure the Google Calendar node to use the appropriate authentication method, such as providing OAuth credentials or handling login sessions.

5

Test and publish the workflow

Test the full workflow by providing sample search inputs and verifying the quick add events are created as expected. When satisfied, publish the Latenode workflow to make it available for use.
