Read your Google Calendar

Ask about your schedule and Olyvr lists the events, with attendees and meeting links when you need them. It only reads your calendar. It never creates, changes or deletes events.

  • A Google account connected in Memory Data Sources.
  • The built-in Google Calendar plugin, set to that account. Accounts connected before Calendar access was added must sign in with Google again.

Show my work calendar events from October 19 to October 23, in Pacific time.

Give exact dates for the clearest answer. Without a range, Olyvr looks at the next 7 days.

  1. Uses the Google account the plugin is set to, and your primary calendar unless you name another one. It can list the calendars that account can see.
  2. Lists the events in the range, earliest first. Recurring events show each occurrence.
  3. Reads a single event in full when you ask, including its description, attendees and meeting link.

Reading your calendar doesn’t need approval, since nothing changes.

Times you give without a time zone are read in your own time zone. If you ask for another one, check the answer uses it.

  • Compare the list with Google Calendar for the same range and calendar.
  • All-day events should appear as all-day, not as timed events at midnight.
  • Times near a daylight saving change should match what Google Calendar shows.
  • No events: Olyvr should tell you whether the calendar is empty for that range or it couldn’t read it. If it couldn’t, sign in with Google again.
  • Wrong account’s calendar: the plugin reads one Google account at a time. Check which account it is set to.
