Set up the Google Calendar connector
Configure the Google Calendar connector in AI Studio under Connectors & Tools. The Google Calendar connector requires organization-managed OAuth authentication.The Google Calendar connector only supports organization-managed OAuth. You must create your own Google Calendar OAuth application. Writer-managed OAuth is not available for Google Calendar.
Google OAuth credentials expire after 6 months of inactivity. If the Google Calendar connector is not used for 6 months, users will need to re-authenticate.

Required OAuth scopes
