Why Use Integration Blocks  

1. No need to rebuild webhooks for every new task
   
2. Designed for non-technical users to integrate services smoothly
   
3. No developer involvement is required to set up or maintain these blocks
   

What is Zoho Calendar

Zoho Calendar in Guided Conversations  

To get, update, or delete an event, you need specific mandatory input variables like  Event UID, Etag.These can can be obtained using the "Get All Events" block, which provides them in the response.

How to Configure Zoho Calendar Blocks  

1. Add a Zoho Calendar block to your GC flow.
   
2. Click Authenticate Now.
   
3. Grant permissions to allow GC access to your calendar.
   
4. Provide a descriptive name for the Block Name to identify the block in your flow.
   
5. Choose the Calendar where you want to add, update, or retrieve events.
   

Input Variable Mapping   

1. Add the Event Title based on user input.
   
2. Map the Start Date from the user’s response.
   
3. Use the user's input to set the End Date for the event.
   

Some fields are mandatory and must be mapped to proceed. 

                                                                                                                        

Output Variable Mapping   

1. Select an Object from Field Variables to store action results (e.g., Event Details).
   
2. Select the Child Field Variables associated with the selected object.
   

                                                                                                         

Save and Deploy   

1. Click Save after finalizing the details.
   
2. Test the Block by triggering it in your GC flow and verify if it performs the expected actions.
   

Best Practices   

1. Use descriptive block names: E.g., "Create Support Team Meeting" instead of "Block 1".
   
2. Map essential variables only: Avoid unnecessary fields to reduce complexity.
   
3. Monitor logs: Track errors like authentication failures or invalid Event UIDs.
   
4. Prefix variables: Use names like calendar_event_id for clarity.
