Sync Discord Scheduled Events to Google Calendar

This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching Discord scheduled events and creating corresponding events in Google Calendar. It ensures that your Discord community events are reflected in your personal or team's Google Calendar, providing a centralized view of all important happenings.

What it does

This workflow performs the following steps:

1. Triggers on a schedule: The workflow runs at predefined intervals (e.g., every hour, daily) to check for new or updated Discord scheduled events.
2. Fetches Discord Scheduled Events: It makes an HTTP request to the Discord API to retrieve a list of all scheduled events for a specific Discord server.
3. Processes Event Data: The retrieved Discord event data is transformed and mapped to the format required by Google Calendar.
4. Creates/Updates Google Calendar Events: For each Discord scheduled event, the workflow creates a new event or updates an existing one in a specified Google Calendar.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

• n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
• Discord Bot Token: A Discord bot token with the necessary permissions to read scheduled events from your Discord server. This will be used in the "HTTP Request" node.
• Google Calendar Account: A Google Calendar account where the events will be created.
• Google Calendar Credential: An n8n Google Calendar OAuth2 credential configured to access your Google Calendar.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Credentials:
   • HTTP Request Node: Update the "HTTP Request" node to include your Discord Bot Token in the headers for authorization (e.g., Authorization: Bot YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN). You will also need to specify the correct Discord API endpoint for fetching scheduled events (e.g., https://discord.com/api/v10/guilds/YOUR_GUILD_ID/scheduled-events).
   • Google Calendar Node: Select or create a new Google Calendar OAuth2 credential. Ensure it has access to the calendar you wish to update.
3. Configure Nodes:
   • Schedule Trigger: Adjust the schedule as needed (e.g., hourly, daily) for how often you want the workflow to check for new events.
   • Edit Fields (Set) Node: This node is currently empty in the provided JSON. You will need to add logic here to transform the Discord event data into the structure expected by the Google Calendar node. This typically involves mapping fields like name to summary, scheduled_start_time to start.dateTime, scheduled_end_time to end.dateTime, and potentially extracting a description or location.
   • Google Calendar Node:
     • Set the "Operation" to Create or Update (you might need conditional logic for updating existing events).
     • Specify the "Calendar ID" where the events should be created.
     • Map the fields from the "Edit Fields (Set)" node to the corresponding Google Calendar event properties (e.g., Summary, Description, Start Date & Time, End Date & Time).
4. Activate the workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow to start syncing your Discord scheduled events to Google Calendar.
