Google Calendar connector
-
Install the SDK
Section titled “Install the SDK”Terminal window npm install @scalekit-sdk/nodeTerminal window pip install scalekit -
Set your credentials
Section titled “Set your credentials”Add your Scalekit credentials to your
.envfile. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials..env SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret> -
Set up the connector
Section titled “Set up the connector”Register your Google Calendar credentials with Scalekit so it handles the token lifecycle. You do this once per environment.
Dashboard setup steps
Register your Scalekit environment with the Google Calendar connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:
-
Set up auth redirects
-
In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections > Create Connection. Find Google Calendar and click Create. Click Use your own credentials and copy the redirect URI. It looks like
https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.
-
Navigate to Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → Credentials. Select + Create Credentials, then OAuth client ID. Choose Web application from the Application type menu.

-
Under Authorized redirect URIs, click + Add URI, paste the redirect URI, and click Create.

-
-
Enable the Google Calendar API
- In Google Cloud Console, go to APIs & Services → Library. Search for “Google Calendar API” and click Enable.
-
Get client credentials
- Google provides your Client ID and Client Secret after you create the OAuth client ID in step 1.
-
Add credentials in Scalekit
-
In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections and open the connection you created.
-
Copy the Connection name shown on that connection and use that exact value in your code as
connection_nameorconnectionName. It may be something likemeeting-prep-agent-googlecalendar, notgooglecalendar. -
Enter your credentials:
- Client ID (from above)
- Client Secret (from above)
- Permissions (scopes — see Google API Scopes reference)

-
Click Save.

What you can do
Section titled “What you can do”Connect this agent connector to let your agent:
- Update event — Update an existing event in a connected Google Calendar account
- List events, calendars — List events from a connected Google Calendar account with filtering options
- Get event by id — Retrieve a specific calendar event by its ID using optional filtering and list parameters
- Delete event — Delete an event from a connected Google Calendar account
- Create event — Create a new event in a connected Google Calendar account

Before you use your own Google OAuth credentials in production, understand what end users see on Google’s consent screen when they authorize a connected account.
| Audience type | Consent screen behavior | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Internal | Shows your App Name and logo from Branding settings | Only users in your Google Workspace or Cloud Identity organization can authorize the connector |
| External | Shows {env_name}.scalekit.dev until Google verifies your app | Any user with a Google account can authorize the connector |
Why External is required for most AgentKit connectors:
- Internal restricts authorization to users in your Google Workspace or Cloud Identity organization. Users with
@gmail.comor other Google accounts outside your organization cannot complete OAuth. - External is required when end users outside your organization authorize tool access through connected accounts.
- Organization-managed OAuth clients follow the same rules as personal or developer OAuth clients. Switching to an org-owned client does not bypass Google verification.
- Until Google completes verification of your External app, users see
scalekit.devon the consent screen. After verification, your App Name and logo appear.
During development:
- Add Test users under APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen while publishing status is Testing.
- On unverified apps, users can click Advanced → Go to app (unsafe) to proceed during testing.
- Google Workspace admins may need to allowlist your OAuth client.
For Google’s verification requirements and timeline, refer to Google’s OAuth consent screen verification guide.
