Lark Calendar Management

Overview

The node "Lark Calendar" provides integration with the Lark Calendar service, allowing users to manage calendar events programmatically. Specifically, the "Obtain An Event" operation under the "Event" resource retrieves detailed information about a specific calendar event by its ID within a specified calendar.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where automated workflows need to fetch event details for processing, such as syncing events with other systems, sending notifications based on event data, or auditing calendar activities.

Example use cases:

  • Automatically retrieving event details when a new event is created or updated.
  • Fetching event information to display in custom dashboards or reports.
  • Integrating calendar event data into CRM or project management tools.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Method of authenticating API requests. Options: Tenant Token, OAuth2.
Calendar Id The unique identifier of the calendar containing the event. Required to specify which calendar to query.
Event Id The unique identifier of the event to obtain details for. Required to specify the exact event to retrieve.
Options Additional optional settings. Currently supports: Use Custom Body (boolean) to indicate whether to send a custom request body.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the detailed information of the requested calendar event. This typically includes fields such as event title, start and end times, attendees, location, description, and other metadata associated with the event.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would be used for attachments or related files, but this operation primarily returns structured JSON event data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Lark Calendar API.
  • Needs authentication credentials configured in n8n, either via a Tenant Token or OAuth2 method.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://open.larksuite.com/open-apis.
  • Proper permissions/scopes must be granted to the API credentials to read calendar events.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Calendar Id/Event Id: Ensure that both IDs are correctly provided and correspond to existing resources in the Lark Calendar.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the selected authentication method is properly configured and the token or OAuth credentials are valid and have not expired.
  • API rate limits or permission issues: Check if the API key has sufficient permissions and that usage limits have not been exceeded.
  • Network or connectivity problems: Confirm that the n8n instance can reach the Lark API endpoint without firewall or proxy restrictions.

Common error messages might include:

  • Unauthorized access due to invalid credentials — resolve by updating or reauthorizing credentials.
  • Resource not found for given IDs — verify the correctness of Calendar Id and Event Id.
  • Bad request errors if required parameters are missing or malformed — ensure all required inputs are set properly.
